Influencer and Partnerships Manager

A rare opportunity has arisen for an experienced Advocacy Manager to lead VIP, influencer, and partnerships strategy for a high-profile destination in Oxfordshire. This role is ideal for a relationship-driven professional with a strong background in influencer marketing, advocacy, and experiential marketing.

You will be responsible for developing and delivering a guest-focused advocacy strategy that drives customer spend, brand awareness, and engagement. Working with influential voices across fashion, culture, food, music, and sport, you will build authentic partnerships and communities that champion the destination and amplify its story.

This position suits a proactive, people-oriented professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys hosting VIPs, and excels at creating high-impact social content. You will want to be on location, generating elevated partnerships that capture the spirit of the venue.

 PLEASE NOTE – this is a full time (40 hours per week), fully site-based role, where you’ll be expected to use the exciting content around you to deliver standout storytelling to engage the best advocates in their field. You’ll often need to stay outside standard business hours to attend Influencer meetings, brand events and dinners.
