Senior Partnerships Activation Manager

About Envision Racing:

Envision Racing is a leading Formula E team competing on the global stage at the intersection of elite sport, technology, innovation and entertainment.

Racing across some of the world’s most iconic cities, the team works with leading global brands to create partnerships that extend well beyond the track, connecting with audiences through digital, content, gaming, technology, hospitality and live experiences.

Envision Racing is now looking to appoint a Senior Partnership Activation Manager to take ownership of one of its most significant global partnerships.

The Impact You’ll Make:

This is an opportunity to lead the day-to-day management and activation of a major global partnership, bringing together Formula E, gaming, esports, technology and entertainment.

You will become a trusted partner to the brand, understanding its commercial and audience objectives before turning them into creative activation strategies across gaming, digital, content, experiential, hospitality and the Formula E race calendar.

Creativity will be a major part of the role. This goes beyond delivering contractual rights - you’ll be expected to bring ideas to the table, spot new opportunities and explore how gaming, esports and emerging technology can create stronger connections between the partnership and its audiences.

With international travel and activations across multiple markets, you’ll have significant ownership of a high-profile partnership and the opportunity to deliver work on a genuinely global stage.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the day-to-day relationship with a major global partner, building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders.
• Develop and deliver an ambitious annual partnership activation strategy aligned with commercial, brand and audience objectives.
• Create innovative activations across gaming, esports, technology, digital, content, social, experiential and live events.
• Deliver partnership activity around the Formula E calendar across multiple international markets.
• Work collaboratively across Commercial, Marketing, Content, Digital, Communications, Events and Race Team functions.
• Manage agencies and suppliers to deliver high-quality campaigns and experiences.
• Oversee partnership rights, budgets, timelines, approvals and reporting.
• Use insights and performance reviews to demonstrate impact and identify opportunities to evolve and grow the partnership.

Your Skills and Experience:

• Strong experience across sponsorship, partnerships, account management or brand activation.
• Experience delivering gaming, esports or technology-led partnerships and activations.
• A track record of managing significant brands, clients or commercial partners and building relationships with senior stakeholders.
• Experience developing integrated campaigns from initial idea through to execution.
• Strong creative instincts, with the ability to develop ideas that go beyond traditional rights activation.
• A strong understanding of gaming, esports, technology and digital audiences, and how brands can authentically engage with them.
• Excellent project management skills with experience managing multiple campaigns, stakeholders and priorities.
• Commercially aware and confident managing budgets and partnership deliverables.
• Collaborative, proactive and comfortable operating within an international, fast-paced environment.

Previous motorsport experience is not essential. Envision Racing is particularly interested in candidates who bring strong experience from gaming, esports, technology, sport, entertainment or experiential environments and can apply that thinking to a major global partnership.
