Description

We are seeking a strategic Partner Engagement Specialist, with a strong cross-functional focus, to help drive our team's mission to educate, engage, and enable Partner Teams in support of subscriber growth and partner health. This role will work cross-functionally to serve as the primary liaison between partner marketing, business development, PR, content, and events teams, ensuring partner engagement initiatives are well-coordinated, high-impact, and aligned to broader business goals.

In this role, you will build strong working relationships across partner marketing, BD, PR, content, and events teams — and collaborate closely with stakeholders across a global, fast-paced media and entertainment organization — to plan, coordinate, and execute partner engagement activities from concept through delivery. Beyond coordination, this role also owns the storytelling and communication that keeps partner teams informed, aligned, and equipped to act — translating complex initiatives into clear narratives, managing projects end-to-end, and building compelling presentations and events that help teams educate, engage, and enable partners effectively.

The ideal candidate can balance strategic thinking with hands-on project management, brings experience operating in high-volume, ambiguous environments, and understands how communication, coordination, and partner experience come together to drive sustained partner health and subscriber growth.

• Track progress against partner engagement plans, flag risks, and proactively problem-solve to keep initiatives on track.

Minimum Qualifications

• 8-10+ years of experience in marketing, communications, or operations — ideally within a fast-paced, global organization in media and entertainment
• Exceptional collaborator and communicator with a proven ability to influence without authority and drive alignment across diverse, cross-functional teams
• Strategic thinker and storyteller who can distill complexity into clear, compelling narratives
• Demonstrated ability to manage projects end-to-end, from initial briefing through execution and final delivery
