Senior Commercial Partnerships Manager - Media & Brand Partnerships

For more than 30 years, Big Issue Group has championed a simple but powerful idea that enterprise can transform lives. From supporting magazine vendors to earn a living, to investing £400 million into over 500 social enterprises, we've always believed in creating opportunities that help people earn, learn and thrive., This is a strategic, outward-facing role: sitting at the heart of Big Issue Media's growth, you'll work closely with brands, agencies and internal teams to create thoughtful, high-value partnerships that span content, campaigns, digital, events and purpose-led collaborations.

This is a role for someone who enjoys building ideas as much as building relationships.

You will lead on identifying new revenue opportunities, developing commercial concepts rooted in audience and market insight, and building the senior relationships that turn early-stage conversations into long-term, six-figure partnerships.

Working closely with editorial, marketing and wider Group teams, you'll help shape a commercial proposition that is both competitive and deeply anchored in our mission.

You bring significant experience in media partnerships and integrated commercial solutions, with a track record that demonstrates both strategic thinking and strong revenue delivery. You're confident navigating agencies and brand-side teams, and you understand how purpose, ESG and impact now sit at the heart of modern marketing.

You're curious, credible and comfortable thinking strategically, but you're equally happy rolling up your sleeves to turn ideas into outcomes. You communicate with warmth and clarity, and you enjoy collaborating with others to create work that stands out for the right reasons.

Most importantly, you are motivated by using your commercial expertise to create social value at scale - and you share our belief that enterprise can be a powerful force for good.

Every partnership you build helps strengthen Big Issue's ability to invest in people and communities who need it most. This isn't just a commercial role - it's a chance to contribute to the future of the UK's most recognised mission-led media brand and to contribute to work that has lasting social value.
