- Managing partnership activity from initial outreach through to launch, ongoing communication and performance review.
- Building relationships with shop managers and Operations teams, and bringing their insights into marketing decisions.
- Supporting new shop openings, menu launches and wider brand campaigns across our shops.
- Coordinating in-shop campaign materials, including print production, distribution and installation.
- Making sure shop teams have the information and materials they need to deliver campaigns and partner offers.
- Supporting local digital activity, including Google listings, delivery platforms, CRM and social media.
- Working with suppliers, agencies and internal teams to deliver projects on time and within budget.
- Tracking campaign and partnership results, using sales data and customer feedback to improve activity.
- Helping organise photoshoots, events and other on-site activations.
What we’re looking for
- Experience in marketing, partnerships or business development, ideally within hospitality, retail or a consumer brand.
- A strong understanding of how local marketing and partnerships can drive visits, orders and sales.
- Excellent relationship-building and communication skills, with confidence approaching potential partners and presenting ideas.
- The ability to turn opportunities into practical campaigns and follow them through to completion.
- Strong organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage several projects and priorities at once.
- A proactive, practical approach to solving problems.
- Confidence reviewing results and using them to improve future activity.
- Willingness to travel regularly between Honi Poke shops and attend partner meetings and local events.
Desirable
- Experience developing local partnerships, corporate offers or community activations.
- Experience working closely with restaurant or retail Operations teams.
- Experience supporting shop openings, sampling campaigns or events.
- Familiarity with CRM, delivery platforms and local digital marketing.
- Experience coordinating print production, signage or campaign installations.
You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of local marketing and partnership projects, work closely with our shop teams and make a visible contribution to Honi Poke’s growth.
What we offer
- Competitive salary of up to £40,000 a year reviewed annually.
