Your impact

• Accelerate partner growth: Drive a measurable increase in booking, gross revenue, and ancillary adoption across your portfolio.

• Deepen partner engagement: Increase the frequency and quality of partner engagement, tailoring your approach and messaging to each partner’s business model, size, and maturity to drive uptake of new products and features.
• Commercial rigor: Maintain 360 view of your portfolio's health, margin contribution, flagging any risks and working cross functionally to address them.
• Sustainable portfolio health: Build and drive a joint business plan with each partner - turning shared goals into measurable adoption and growth through quarterly planning sessions and monthly commercial reviews.

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years in partner success, partner enablement, channel management, or account management across a B2B partner or account portfolio.
• Strategic thinking - the ability to develop and execute joint business plans that grow partner engagement, adoption, and revenue.
• Strong Business Acumen, you have the ability to develop actionable growth strategies that increase booking volume, gross revenue, and ancillary adoption from complex data
• Self-Starter who brings ideas and proposals proactively.
• Confident negotiating commercial agreement terms at partner level - you know what you are trying to achieve before you walk into the room.
• Experience working with API / white label-based product solutions or in a technically integrated distribution environment is a strong advantage.

What you've got

• Bachelor’s degree in business, Marketing or similar.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to identify critical stakeholders, build and maintain strong relationships across our partners.
• Commercial acumen - you want to understand what drives your partners' businesses and how Auto Europe can grow within them.
• Experience managing commercial agreements - commission structures, volume incentives, renewal negotiations - not just administering them.
• Collaborative - when something is outside your control you know how to get the right internal people moving quickly.
• Disciplined - you protect your time for high-value commercial work and route operational issues to the right place.
• Background in travel distribution, the travel trade, consortia, OTA, metasearch, affiliate or a related digital commerce environment is advantageous but not essential.
• Able to lead a data-driven commercial conversation - you come to meetings with insight and proposals, not updates
• Comfortable using data and reporting tools to build your own commercial narrative - you do not wait for someone else to tell you how your portfolio is performing.
