About The Role

We’re looking for a Director, Brand Partnerships to join our growing EU Brand Partnerships team.

This is a senior commercial role responsible for driving enterprise growth across the UK through the acquisition, growth and strategic development of LTK's most valuable brand partnerships. You'll own the development of high‑value relationships with leading fashion, beauty, lifestyle and luxury brands, positioning LTK as a trusted, long‑term creator commerce partner.

As one of the UK's most senior commercial leaders, you'll lead consultative sales conversations with executive stakeholders, identifying opportunities to solve complex marketing challenges through LTK's full-funnel creator marketing solutions.
