£55,000 – £60,000 + Bonus

Location: South East / London

 We are specifically looking for candidates from hospitality, live events, entertainment, music, experiential, leisure, or competitive socialising backgrounds. This is not a traditional sales role. We are searching for a commercially driven and creatively minded Commercial Partnership Manager to join one of the UK’s most exciting experience-led hospitality groups.

This role is ideal for someone who understands trends, culture, entertainment, food, music, and guest experience, someone who knows what customers are buying into before everyone else does.

The business operates high-energy venues centred around music, gaming, events, food partnerships, and social experiences. This is a standalone role reporting into the Head of Operations, working closely with the Food Operations Manager.

The Commercial Partnership Manager role:

• Leading partnerships across music, gaming, food, AV, and entertainment
• Driving venue programming, events, and guest experiences
• Managing relationships with food partners, promoters, gaming suppliers, and creative brands
• Supporting third-party food partnerships and commercial agreements
• Working closely with operations teams to maximise revenue opportunities
• Supporting new venue concepts, refurbishments, and experiential projects
• Managing supplier negotiations, contracts, and commercial performance

The right Commercial Partnership Manager:

• Strong experience within hospitality, nightlife, entertainment, music, events, or experiential concepts
• Commercially sharp with strong partnership management skills
• Experience delivering events or programming across multi-site venues
• Strong understanding of trends, customer behaviour, and culture
• Comfortable working independently and being out in the market
• Experience managing budgets, P&L, or commercial performance
• Knowledge of gaming, live entertainment, or competitive socialising concepts is beneficial
• London and South East market knowledge is important

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a creative, fast-moving hospitality business where you can genuinely shape the guest experience and commercial direction of the brand.
