Partnerships & Events Manager

Location: Stretford

Salary: £55K+ base, plus commission worth an additional £20K

At Prospa, performance marketing means one thing: profit. We don't chase vanity metrics or hide behind dashboards.

We drive real, measurable growth for the brands we partner with.

That’s why our clients stay with us, and it's why we approach ecommerce growth differently.

We partner with ambitious DTC brands across fashion, beauty, gifting, homeware and lifestyle, typically turning over between £2M and £20M. Our job is to take them well beyond that.

Our vision is to build the next generation of leading ecommerce brands, and we're well on the way. Since launching, we've grown 100% year on year, and 2027 is set to be our biggest year yet.

None of this happens by accident. Our success comes down to one thing: our people. Prospa is now a 35-strong team of some of the best talent in ecom, people who care as much about our clients' growth as their own. Every hire we make is about raising that bar again.

The Role

This is not an events coordinator role. It's a commercial role, and your tools are rooms, occasions and relationships.

Partnerships are one of the most powerful levers in any agency's growth, and over the last 12 months we've worked tirelessly to build ours. You won't be starting from scratch. You'll inherit strong foundations and a partner network that already drives a lot of our new business. Your job is to make it your own, bring your network into Prospa and take it further.

And because this channel drives so much growth, the commission and progression on offer are genuinely exciting.

Our own events and dinners were a huge success in 2026. In 2027, we're levelling them up again: bigger, better occasions across Manchester and London, and, most excitingly, taking Prospa to New York as a core part of our growth plans.

You won't be doing it alone. You'll work hand in hand with our industry-leading marketing team, they'll support you with whatever you need to succeed, alongside our founders, CRO and Business Development Manager.

What you'll be doing Partnerships

• Build and run a structured partnerships programme across ecommerce tech platforms, complementary agencies, investors and other referral partners
• Create two-way referral flows, and manage partners like accounts - regular check-ins, shared goals and clear reporting on what each partnership delivers
• Drive co-marketing with partners: co-hosted dinners, joint webinars, shared content and lead magnets
• Identify and open new partnerships that put Prospa in front of our ICP

Owned events

• Own Prospa's events end to end across Manchester, London and New York - ecom dinners, founder round tables, webinars and anything else we host
• Build the guest list strategy: the right ICP founders and ecommerce leaders in every room, not just a full room
• Manage formats, venues, partner co-hosts, budgets, run of show and the on-the-day experience
• Agree a follow-up plan with the BDM before every event, so every room turns into pipeline

Industry events and stages

• Build and own Prospa's annual events calendar, deciding which events we attend, sponsor or skip - with a clear business case for each
• Secure speaking slots, panels and podcast appearances for our founders and team
• Plan our presence at key industry events in the UK and US, including meetings booked before we arrive

Brand, content and the US

• Make Prospa the agency founders keep seeing in the rooms that matter
• Work with our videographer and marketing team to turn every event into content — clips, posts, podcast guests and case studies
• Build Prospa's network in the US ecom scene, starting with New York, as a core part of our expansion
