Associate Account Manager (Sponsorship)

The Company:

When it comes to digital communities, The Alliance is leading the way. Product marketing, sales enablement, product-led growth, AI, customer success, CMOs, you name it, we’re home to thriving communities for them all.

With 70,000+ professionals across our communities and a constant stream of events, memberships, and learning products, we help individuals and teams grow faster in their careers.

We’re ambitious, we move quickly, and we’re still early in the journey — which means real ownership, fast progression, and the opportunity to shape how our platform evolves.

The Role

This is a client-facing, fast-paced role at the heart of our sponsorship business. As an Associate Account Manager, you’ll work closely with our sponsorship sales team to deliver standout experiences for our partners, across global events, VIP dinners, 1-2-1 meetings, and digital sponsorship campaigns.

You’ll be the bridge between what we sell and what we deliver. That means owning sponsor relationships, ensuring flawless execution, and helping clients see real value from their investment.

This role isn’t just about delivery, it’s about energy, presence, and ownership. You’ll be on-site at events, building relationships face-to-face, making things happen in real time, and representing The Alliance with confidence.

What you’ll do

Client success & delivery: Ensure sponsors get what they signed up for across events, dinners, and digital campaigns, and that it lands well

Event execution (global): Be on-site at events, managing sponsors, handling logistics, and making sure everything runs smoothly

Sponsor relationships: Build strong, trusted relationships with clients, from onboarding through to delivery and beyond

Sales collaboration: Work closely with the sponsorship sales team to align on client goals, expectations, and opportunities

Performance & reporting: Track results, share performance insights, and help demonstrate ROI to clients

Account growth: Spot upsell and expansion opportunities and bring them back to the sales team

Operational excellence: Stay organised across multiple accounts, timelines, and deliverables, using tools and automation to stay efficient

What success looks like

You’ll be measured on a mix of delivery, client satisfaction, and growth:

Strong execution across events, digital campaigns, and client deliverables

High client satisfaction and clear demonstration of value

Consistent client check-ins and relationship building (QBR-style conversations)

Identifying and contributing to account expansion opportunities

Smooth onboarding and clear alignment on client goals from day one

Previous experience

You have some experience in B2B account management, client success, or events

You’re confident, personable, and love being in front of clients (especially in-person)

You bring energy, you’re someone people enjoy working with and remember after meeting

You’re highly organised and can juggle multiple projects without dropping the ball

You’re proactive, you don’t wait to be told what to do

You’re excited by travel and being on-site at global events

Compensation: £30,000-£35,000 Base salary *based on experience

Location: Please note, due to the travel component, we're looking for someone based in/around London.
