Sim Partnerships & Business Development Manager - giffgaff - 14 month FTC in Uxbridge

We’re looking for a bold, commercially minded SIM Partnerships & Business Development Manager on a 14 month fixed term basis. You will own and scale some of giffgaff’s most impactful acquisition channels: Students, Super Recruiters and Affiliates. In this role, you’ll set and deliver the strategy that grows our member base, increases lifetime value and unlocks new revenue streams. You’ll spot and execute new commercial opportunities, lead high-profile, board-level initiatives, and turn smart ideas into measurable growth through strong partnerships and sharp execution.

You’ll be the driving force behind our SIM partnerships strategy, influencing senior stakeholders internally and externally, negotiating and closing standout commercial deals, and building long-term relationships that fuel sustainable growth. Alongside this, you’ll be a people leader - developing, motivating and empowering your team to perform at their best. You’ll collaborate closely with marketing, product, finance and sales, own forecasting and performance reporting, and proactively tackle risks and challenges head-on.

If you thrive at the intersection of strategy, partnerships and leadership – and want to make a real impact at a challenger brand – this role has your name on it.

Do you want to join a connectivity provider that's up to good? At giffgaff, we do things differently. We call out the bad and find a better way. We're laser-focused on flexibility, value and mutual good. And we’re proud to be a certified B Corp. This means we’ve joined a network of more than 2,000 UK companies who want to make a positive impact on people and the planet. Working at giffgaff is something you could be proud of too.

You’ll get the best of both worlds, the energy and fast pace of giffgaff, plus all the benefits that come with being part of our parent company, Virgin Media O2. Our business model is unique. We work with our members (our customers) to understand their needs in all areas of the business. We love this highly collaborative approach. We’re always looking to acquire new members, and to do that we need the best people in our team.

In return for your outstanding efforts, you’ll be rewarded with a competitive salary and excellent benefits that are all about making your work life a winner. Take a look at our culture and benefits – you might just be surprised. Our bright and modern gaff is in Uxbridge, in leafy West London. But if commuting isn’t for you, most of our roles can be hybrid or remote, or anywhere in between.

• Strategic mindset. Experience of translating high level business goals into practical execution plans.
• Ability to inspire stakeholders through presentation and storytelling.
• Awareness of B2B sales and business development and proven experience of commercial thinking in their decision making.
• Can demonstrate the importance of understanding business forecasting, compliance, commercial value and its reporting.
• Able to confidently assess and own complex decision making, and facilitate across stakeholders with differing agendas.
