Australia

<h1><span>Sponsorships &amp; Partnerships Manager</span></h1><p><span><strong>Full-Time | Remote</strong></span></p><p><span>Are you a natural relationship builder who gets excited about opening doors, creating opportunities, and turning great relationships into real commercial results?</span></p><p><span>Do you know how to spot a partnership opportunity before everyone else sees it?</span></p><p><span>Do you want to build something that creates genuine value for business owners while directly contributing to the growth of a fast-growing company?</span></p><p><span>This role could be perfect for you.</span></p><h2><span>Who We Are</span></h2><p><span>Profitable Tradie is a fast-growing business coaching company helping plumbing, electrical, and other trade business owners throughout New Zealand, Australia, and North America.</span></p><p><span>We help trade business owners build better businesses through sales and marketing, systems, teams, financial strategies and practical coaching that gets results.</span></p><p><span>We're growing quickly, and we're looking for someone who can turn our <strong>events, audience, brand and industry relationships into powerful commercial partnerships.</strong></span></p><p><span>This isn't a traditional account management role.</span></p><p><span>It's a proactive role for someone who can identify opportunities, open doors, pitch value, negotiate deals and build relationships that create measurable outcomes.</span></p><h2><span>What You'll Be Doing</span></h2><p><span>We're looking for a <strong>Sponsorships &amp; Partnerships Manager</strong> to build relationships that grow our brand, create more value for our members and generate new commercial opportunities.</span></p><p><span>A big part of your role will be building our <strong>event sponsorship engine</strong>.</span></p><p><span>You'll identify potential sponsors, create compelling packages, pitch opportunities, negotiate agreements and manage relationships from the first conversation through to renewal.</span></p><p><span>But we're not looking for one-off sponsorship deals.</span></p><p><span>We want long-term partnerships that create genuine value for sponsors while helping us deliver incredible experiences for our members.</span></p><p><span>You'll also build our <strong>Profitable Tradie Partner Network</strong> — finding trusted providers across areas such as finance, insurance, HR, recruitment, software, marketing and other services our members need.</span></p><p><span>You'll negotiate member benefits and, where appropriate, referral or revenue-sharing arrangements.</span></p><p><span>You'll also identify opportunities to expand our reach through <strong>podcasts, webinars, content collaborations, industry events and strategic partnerships</strong>.</span></p><p><span>That could mean bringing a great guest onto our podcast, securing speaking opportunities for our team, creating a webinar with an industry expert or partnering with an organisation that already has access to thousands of trade business owners.</span></p><p><span>At the heart of the role is one simple question:</span></p><p><span><strong>"Who already has a strong relationship with the type of business owner we want to reach, and how could we create value together?"</strong></span></p><h2><span>What Success Looks Like</span></h2><p><span>You won't be measured by the number of emails you send or meetings you have.</span></p><p><span>You'll be measured by commercial outcomes.</span></p><p><span>Success looks like:</span></p><ul><li><p><span>Strong sponsors materially offsetting the cost of our major events</span></p></li><li><p><span>Sponsors wanting to renew and expand their relationships with us</span></p></li><li><p><span>A trusted partner network that genuinely benefits our members</span></p></li><li><p><span>New revenue generated through partnerships and referrals</span></p></li><li><p><span>More leads and audience reach through strategic collaborations</span></p></li><li><p><span>Regular speaking opportunities at relevant industry

sell a compelling value proposition</span></p></li><li><p><span>Are organised and comfortable managing a significant pipeline</span></p></li><li><p><span>Are persistent and comfortable with longer sales cycles</span></p></li><li><p><span>Think creatively about how businesses can create value together</span></p></li><li><p><span>Are confident representing the Profitable Tradie brand externally</span></p></li><li><p><span>Take ownership rather than waiting for someone to give you a roadmap</span></p></li></ul><p><span>Most importantly, you're a <strong>creator of opportunities</strong>.</span></p><p><span>You figure out who needs to know us, why they should care, and how to get the conversation started.</span></p><h2><span>Why Join Us?</span></h2><p><span>At Profitable Tradie:</span></p><ul><li><p><span>You'll directly influence revenue, profitability, brand visibility and member value</span></p></li><li><p><span>You'll build our partnerships engine
