Partnership Management Executive

Partnership Management Executive - 12 month FTC

Based at Virginia Water, Surrey.

3-4 days per week in the office.

The European Tour group is one of the world’s pre-eminent golf organisations. We are responsible for running the world-famous DP World Tour, Legends Tour, Challenge Tour and G4D Tour (golf for the disabled). We also organise, alongside the PGA of America, golf’s greatest team contest - the Ryder Cup.

About the Role

Join our team as a Partnership Management Executive, where you’ll play a crucial role in managing and delivering the commercial relationships for the DP World Tour and Ryder Cup. You’ll work across various partner and tournament commercial programs, providing essential administrative support to partner accounts to ensure the delivery of contractual rights and activation of partnerships in line with brand objectives.

In this role, you’ll report to a Partnership Manager and collaborate with multiple departments, including Marketing, Broadcast, Content, Digital, Strategy, and the Championship Management team. Building strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders will be key. Your day-to-day tasks will include maintaining status reports, updating project trackers, drafting briefing documents, and preparing reports accurately and on time.

Occasionally, you’ll support onsite at tournaments, handling event administration and delivery roles. Strong organizational, communication, and relationship-building skills are essential, along with a keen understanding of the sports sponsorship landscape. Attention to detail and the ability to meet tight deadlines are crucial.

Flexibility and adaptability are vital, as the role may require extended hours and occasional travel within the UK or internationally. The DP World Tour partners with several world-renowned brands, including BMW, Buffalo Trace, DP World, Emirates, Fortinet, and Rolex, among others.

Key Responsibilities

As a Partnership Management Executive, you will manage day-to-day communications and administrative tasks for partner accounts. You will support commercial partner-related event administration and delivery tasks for allocated tournaments, ensuring partner visibility and integration during tournament weeks by working closely with tournament operations and championships teams. Additionally, you will assist the wider Partnership Management team with ongoing administrative tasks and collaborate with internal teams to ensure seamless delivery of partner activations.

Knowledge, Skills & Experience

To succeed in this role, you should have strong organizational skills to manage multiple tasks and workstreams, excellent communication skills for confident and clear interactions with partners, agencies, and colleagues, and proficiency in project management, including tracking, updating, and prioritizing tasks. The ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and work well under pressure is essential. A willingness to be a team player and an interest in sports marketing, partnership management, or sponsorship will be beneficial. An understanding of golf is not required.

The European Tour group promotes diversity, equality, and inclusion. We ensure that we make employment decisions by matching our business needs with skills and experience of candidates, regardless of anything.
