About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Reporting to the Senior Director of Partnerships, the Partnerships Growth Manager will sit within the New Business function of Partnerships.
You will find new partners that loveholidays does not currently work with, qualify them against our commercial criteria, build the relationship and close the deal.
You will manage both outbound prospecting and inbound interest from potential partners, including RFPs.
Once a new partner is signed and live, you will retain ownership through the early-life period, ensuring the commercial momentum built during acquisition is maintained through integration and first trading.
At a defined milestone, partners may be handed over to the Partner Success team for long-term growth.
You will work closely with Product and Tech from the earliest stage where required.
