Networking & Partnerships Manager

Location: London Office
Salary: £75,000 - £100,000 doe + Benefits

Build relationships that shape an industry.

We're working with an ambitious, fast-growing organisation that is making a real impact within the healthcare and public sector landscape. As they continue to expand, they're looking for a commercially minded Networking & Partnerships Manager to become the driving force behind their external relationships, industry presence and strategic network.

If you're someone who thrives on connecting people, opening doors and building influential relationships that create genuine business opportunities, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

The Opportunity

This is a highly visible role where you'll take ownership of developing and growing a network of industry experts, strategic partners, professional bodies and key stakeholders.

You'll be responsible for identifying opportunities, creating meaningful introductions and positioning the business at the centre of important conversations across the healthcare and public sector sectors.

Working closely with senior leadership, marketing and events teams, you'll play a pivotal role in increasing market visibility, strengthening industry credibility and generating new commercial opportunities through relationship-led engagement.

No two days will be the same. One day you could be building relationships with influential sector experts, the next representing the business at conferences, roundtables and networking events, before bringing together stakeholders to create valuable new opportunities.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Developing and delivering a strategic networking and partnerships plan.
  • Building and managing a high-quality network of industry experts and strategic partners.
  • Creating opportunities that generate meaningful introductions and long-term relationships.
  • Representing the organisation at conferences, exhibitions and industry events.
  • Working collaboratively with business development, marketing and leadership teams to maximise commercial opportunities.
  • Identifying new partnership opportunities that enhance market presence and support future growth.
  • Tracking engagement activity and demonstrating the commercial impact of partnerships and networking initiatives.

Requirements

You'll be a natural relationship builder who enjoys meeting people, creating opportunities and influencing at senior levels
You'll likely have experience in partnership management, stakeholder engagement, business development or strategic networking and be confident representing an organisation in external environments.

We're particularly interested in people who can demonstrate:

  • Proven experience building strategic partnerships or stakeholder relationships.
  • Outstanding communication, networking and influencing skills.
  • A commercial mindset with the ability to identify opportunities through relationships.
  • Confidence engaging with senior leaders and industry influencers.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • A proactive, self-motivated approach with plenty of initiative.
  • Experience within healthcare, the NHS or wider public sector environments would be advantageous, but isn't essential.

Benefits

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, ambitious organisation where your ideas, network and ability to build meaningful relationships will have a genuine impact on business growth.

You'll have significant autonomy, the chance to represent the organisation at high-profile industry events, and the opportunity to build a network that directly influences commercial success.

If you're passionate about connecting people, creating opportunities and building partnerships that make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.

  • 25 Days Holiday plus 8 bank holiday
  • Company bonus scheme
  • £75,000 - £100,000 depending on experience
  • Excellent positive working environment with support throughout.
