Sales & Partnerships Lead

Thanks for dropping by!

We're Kiindred. An independent and ambitious purpose-led group of brands working across parenting, lifestyle, media and creativity.

We're looking for a Sales & Partnerships Lead to join our team and help drive the next chapter of our growth.

We're not your typical publisher, platform or agency. We've spent the past decade building a business around modern parents and the brands that want to connect with them. And with some exciting new launches on the horizon, there's plenty happening.

Four parts to our world. Plenty of opportunities to make your mark.

✏️ Kiindred: Our digital publishing platform creating fresh, relevant content for modern parents.

📸 Kiin Creators: Our creator platform and talent network that's launching very soon.

⚡️ Kiin Agency: Our creative agency bringing strategy, content, production and digital experiences together to make great work happen.

🧵 Kiin Products: Our first product range, launching in early 2027.

So, why join us?

🦄 Good people, good culture. We're a close-knit, progressive team. Many of us have been together for over four years, and while we're small in size, we're big on ambition.

👌🏽 Great brands and plenty of variety. We work with a mix of household names, emerging businesses and ambitious founders. Plus, we're building a few brands of our own.

🎧 Flexibility without losing connection. Our creative home is in Annandale, complete with our own podcast studio, but we embrace hybrid working and give our team the flexibility to do their best work.

🧘🏻‍♂️ People come first. We believe great work and a good life should go hand in hand. Family, health and wellbeing aren't just things we talk about. They're how we work.

🚀 A real opportunity to shape what's next. We're entering an exciting stage of the company, and this role offers the chance to have a genuine impact on where we go from here.

What does the role look like?

First and foremost, this is a sales and new business role.

We're looking for someone who loves the thrill of opening doors, building relationships and turning a great conversation into a great commercial partnership.

You'll take the lead on driving new business across the Kiindred ecosystem, from media partnerships and branded content to creative campaigns, talent and creator collaborations.

You'll also work closely with our creative, production and client teams to develop smart ideas, put together compelling proposals and help bring those partnerships to life.

It's a hands-on role with plenty of autonomy, variety and room to make it your own.

What you'll be doing

Identifying, pitching and winning new business opportunities

✔️ Building strong, long-term relationships with brands, agencies and commercial partners.

✔️ Developing creative partnership ideas that solve real business challenges.

✔️ Leading pitches, proposals, presentations and commercial negotiations.

✔️ Growing existing client relationships and spotting opportunities to do more together.

✔️ Working with our wider team to shape campaigns, scopes, budgets and deliverables.

✔️ Taking ownership of the sales pipeline, forecasting and commercial targets.

✔️ Bringing fresh ideas, industry knowledge and a proactive approach to how we grow.

We'd love you to be

✔️ Experienced in sales and business development, ideally within a publisher, creative agency, media business or similar environment.

✔️ A natural relationship builder who enjoys meeting people, opening doors and creating opportunities rather than waiting for them to arrive.

✔️ Commercially minded and creatively curious. You understand what brands are trying to achieve and can connect the dots between business objectives, audiences and great creative work.

✔️ Confident across media, content and digital. You're comfortable talking strategy, social, creators, content, production and the ever-changing digital landscape.

✔️ A strong communicator and presenter. You can bring an idea to life in a room, write a compelling proposal and confidently lead a client conversation.

✔️ Comfortable owning the numbers. You understand pipelines, revenue targets, budgets and the importance of turning good ideas into commercially successful partnerships.

✔️ Organised and hands-on. You know your way around a deck, a scope of work and a project management platform, and you're happy to get stuck in when needed.

✔️ Independent but collaborative. You can take ownership of your work while being part of a team that genuinely enjoys working together.

✔️ Curious, proactive and full of ideas. You're someone who sees possibilities, asks good questions and isn't afraid to try a different approach.

And what's in it for you?

Alongside a flexible, supportive workplace and the opportunity to help shape an independent and ambitious business, we're offering a competitive salary + commission + share options for the right person.

We're looking for someone who wants to build something with us, not just fill a role. If that sounds like you, we'd love to have a chat.

Thanks for reading. We look forward to hearing from you!
