• Structure commercial agreements and build scalable partnership frameworks that can be replicated across markets.
• Oversee the launch of partnership campaigns with brand, regional growth, legal and product teams.
• Define and track KPIs for each partnership, use data to spot trends and opportunities, and maintain long-term relationships with existing partners.
• Act as the local partnerships expert in APAC, sharing market insights with regional marketing, growth, product and strategy teams.

Required profile

• Proven experience sourcing, negotiating and executing partnerships that deliver measurable commercial outcomes; APAC experience is a strong advantage.
