## ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a commercially sharp Data Partnerships Manager to own and grow the data-provider partnerships behind one of our core D2C subscription products. The quality of the product depends directly on the breadth, freshness, and reliability of licensed third-party data - you will be fully responsible for the supplier portfolio: sourcing new providers, leading commercial negotiations, managing ongoing relationships, and continuously improving coverage, quality, and cost.

## RESPONSIBILITIES

- Own the provider pipeline: map the vendor landscape and proactively source new data partners
- Run structured evaluations - trials, benchmarks, scorecards - and verify vendor claims on coverage, freshness, and quality against real data
- Drive down unit costs while improving quality and coverage at every renewal
- Own day-to-day provider relationships, including regular business reviews
- Partner with product and data teams to prioritize integrations and fixes
- Build provider scorecards and reporting so portfolio health is visible at all times
- Monitor the data-provider market for better sources, pricing models, and emerging solutions
- Identify coverage gaps by market and close them through new partnerships
- Recommend portfolio changes - add, renegotiate, replace - backed by evidence

## QUALIFICATIONS

- 5+ years in business development, partnerships, or strategic vendor management for a technology or data-driven product
- Proven track record sourcing, negotiating, and closing data-licensing, API, or content-supply deals
- Experience negotiating commercial terms, SLAs, and renewals with measurable cost or quality outcomes
- Demonstrated ability to run structured vendor evaluations - trials, benchmarks, scorecards - and make evidence-based decisions
- Comfortable with technical due diligence: APIs, data feeds, and coverage/freshness/quality metrics
- Proven cold-outreach ability - opening doors and building credibility with senior counterparts at partner companies
- Evidence-driven and systematic - verifies claims with data and builds repeatable frameworks, not one-off deals
- Persistent, professional relationship-builder and clear communicator who operates independently in a remote environment
