As Partnerships Lead, you will be responsible for driving revenue growth through partnerships with schools, guardianships, and other key stakeholders, reporting directly to the Managing Director UK. You will own the full Schools and agents partnerships sales cycle, from identifying and developing new partnerships through to managing pipeline, closing deals, and growing existing accounts. This is a hands-on role, with a clear mandate to build and scale the B2B function over the next 12–24 months. We are looking for a commercially driven, ambitious individual with strong relationship-building skills and a bias for action. You will represent the business externally, lead partner conversations, and ensure we consistently convert opportunities into long-term, high-value relationships.
Job Responsibility:
Revenue ownership - Take full accountability for achieving and exceeding quarterly and annual B2B revenue targets. Own the partner pipeline across schools, agents, and institutional relationships, driving both new business and repeat revenue.
Partnership development and growth - Build and manage strong relationships with schools, agents, and key partners. Identify opportunities to introduce and expand programmes, developing long-term partnerships rather than one-off transactions.
Pipeline management and conversion - Own the full B2B sales cycle from prospecting through to closing. Maintain a high-quality pipeline, prioritise opportunities effectively, and ensure consistent follow-up to convert partnerships into revenue.
Consultative selling and solution design - Work closely with partners to understand their needs and shape tailored programme offerings (workshops, courses, preparation packages). Position UniAdmissions as a premium, long-term partner.
Collaboration with marketing and operations - Coordinate with Marketing on partner-facing activity (events, materials, outreach) and with Operations to ensure delivery meets partner expectations and supports retention.
Product and market feedback - Use insights from partner conversations to inform product development, pricing, and market positioning, ensuring our offering remains competitive and relevant across different regions and school types.
