Senior Manager, Commercial Brand Partnerships

Hi, we’re Back Market.

Are you ready to join us?

As Senior Manager, Brand Partnerships, you'll own this agenda end-to-end. From closing your first SharkNinja expansion deal to launching an iPad + Duolingo bundle, you'll be the person who makes it happen, across FR, DE, ES, UK, and US (and JP). This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone equally comfortable thinking strategically and getting things done.

YOUR MISSION (IF YOU ACCEPT IT):

80% – Build and Scale Brand Partnerships

You’ll own the full partnership pipeline, from first conversation to live program.

• Close deals: Lead outreach, pitching, negotiation, and contract structuring with priority brands across Home Appliances (SharkNinja, Dyson, Groupe SEB, Philipps), Laptops (ASUS, Dell, Lenovo), Consoles (Sony, Playstation, Valve), Mobile (Google Pixel, Samsung), and others Tech Accessories (DJI,reMarkable)

• Lead Brands Commercial Partnerships: Manage relationships with commercial brands partners, aligning business objectives with key stakeholders.

• Grow "Certified by" offer: Drive CPO alliance expansion with a priority focus on UK and US, where Back Market currently has no Impactful certified brand partnerships

• Launch bundles: Design and scale commercial bundles that increase perceived value (e.g., device + Brands freemium service pairings like iPad + Duolingo, Strava + Apple Watches…)

• Coordinate handoffs: Ensure smooth transitions to BD onboarding (3‑month window) and then to account management

• Drive Cross-functional Collaboration: Coordinate with Product, Marketing, and Operations teams

• Establish Governance: Lead partner meetings, report performance, and share best practices across markets

• Track and improve: Own KPIs across pipeline health, "Certified by" growth, bundle GMV, and AOV impact

20% – Identify New Opportunities

• Build and maintain a pipeline of prospective brand and bundle partners, working closely with the GM EU, UK & US teams to leverage their market expertise and strengthen local credibility and commercial legitimacy.

• Represent Back Market externally at relevant industry events

• Benchmark our partnership offer vs. competitors and flag emerging opportunities

YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF:

• You have 10+ years in BD, brand partnerships, or commercial alliances, ideally in e-commerce, marketplace, or consumer tech

• You've closed and managed complex deals with large, multi-stakeholder organizations

• You move fast, work autonomously, and don't wait to be handed a playbook

• You're data-driven and can translate pipeline metrics into clear business recommendations

• You're clear communicative, whether pitching a brand partner or aligning internal teams

• You're fluent in English (French is a plus)

• Multi-market experience (EU + US) is strongly preferred

We encourage you to apply even if your path doesn't tick every box : we hire for mindset, curiosity, and energy just as much as experience.

No matter your role and seniority level, you’ll enjoy impact-driven work with hands‑on career development in an innovative, driven, and fast-paced environment — with benefits to match, like:

• A mission driven work environment where your day to day makes an impact on the planet. Seriously.
• Hybrid work environment, with 2 remote days a week and 1 remote work week per quarter, plus 3 flex days.
• Employee Resource Groups, including mentorship programs, comprehensive accessibility policies, and cultural competency training.
