Campaign Manager in Clacton-on-Sea

We're looking for a Partnership Operations Manager to help us deliver great work for our brand partners. This role has a start date of early July 2026, is available to cover a 14‐month maternity leave period and is likely to continue until early September 2027.

The Partnership Operations Manager is all about making things happen. You'll take the lead on turning partnership deals into well‐run, high‐quality campaigns – keeping everything on track, making sure everyone knows what they're doing, and ensuring we deliver what we've promised.

You'll work closely with teams across the business – commercial, production, creative, social, and finance – so being organised and a clear communicator is key. In turn, our experienced team members will provide excellent insight to working effectively in a commercial environment and there'll be plenty of opportunity to learn from and collaborate with others.

If you enjoy juggling projects, working with different teams, and seeing campaigns come together from start to finish, this could be a great fit.

• Plan and manage the delivery of branded content campaigns.
• Keep timelines, deliverables, and teams on track.
• Make sure everything goes out to a high standard and on time.
• Develop and manage a calendar of commercial deals, campaign launches, and renewal cycles.
• Support the team in managing key partner relationships.
• Join client calls and help shape realistic plans.
• Turn agreements into clear, workable plans for internal teams.
• Be a key member of the Central Intelligence Department (CID), evaluating and prioritising bespoke sales proposal requests, while contributing commercial and partner insights to shape high‐quality, revenue‐driving materials for the commercial team.
• Liaise closely with the commercial, production, creative, social, and finance teams.
• Make sure everyone has what they need to deliver (briefs, assets, timelines).
• Help keep communication clear and consistent across teams.
• Look at how campaigns perform and share useful insights.
• Keep an eye on audience feedback and engagement.
• Use what you learn to help improve future campaigns.
• Help refine our processes and project management tools.
• Keep track of campaign schedules, launches, and renewals.
• Support the finance team with forecasting and planning.

You'll be based from our Bath office; our working hours are 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday.

• Strong organisational skills – you're good at keeping lots of moving parts under control.
• Experience managing projects or campaigns.
• Comfortable working with different teams and stakeholders.
• Confident using spreadsheets and tools like Trello.
• Clear communicator, both internally and with clients.
• A good sense of what makes a campaign run smoothly.

• Interest in cycling or triathlon.
• Experience in media, content, or partnerships.

At Play Sports Network (PSN), we run some of the world's biggest cycling and triathlon YouTube channels, including GCN, GMBN, GTN, and EMBN. We work with leading brands to create content that our audience genuinely enjoys – and this role plays a big part in making that happen.
