Brand & Partnerships Manager

Your mission should you choose to accept it

As our brand new and shiny Cluster Brand & Partnerships Manager, you're responsible for bringing our brand to life through the roll-out of marketing, communications, and community engagement strategies — from development to execution.

Within a global brand framework, your role is to strategize/implement earned-, owned- & shared content from digital media to physical events and activations. You'll develop partnerships to generate commercial & brand positioning opportunities for six of our locations (Delft, Den Haag, Eindhoven, Groningen, Maastricht, and Rotterdam) and you'll be responsible for the network of The Social Hub ambassadors (official brand representatives). You'll also support a team of a local Community Program Managers (Connector) and Content & Social Media Coordinators. Together, you'll own all local community experiences, brand- & activation events and activities, marketing and communications activations & on- and offline channels for your Social Hub. Your days are packed with collaborations, brand activations, social media, mailings, community experiences and PR & influencer activations.  You and your team will make sure our community members have the best brand experience — pre-, during- & post-stay.
