Partner Marketing Manager at Octopus Energy Group

We’re looking for a Partner Marketing Manager to own and scale our partner marketing function.

At Octopus Electric Vehicles, partnerships mean building long-term, strategic relationships that drive mutual value. We work with a diverse range of organisations, from Employee Benefits to Financial Services, that introduce or refer their clients to our EV solution and help build our brand equity across the UK.

You’ll sit at the intersection of Marketing and Partnerships, leading the strategy and execution of campaigns that drive:

• Partner engagement

• New partner acquisition

• Partner engagement

• Referral growth

You’ll be responsible for partner marketing end-to-end, including how we allocate, spend, and optimise budget to drive measurable results.

What you'll do

Own partner acquisition marketing

• Plan and execute outbound B2B marketing campaigns to win new partners

• Develop messaging, content, and assets that support the Partnerships team in closing deals

• Identify high-value partner segments and build targeted acquisition campaigns through channels like outbound email and LinkedIn.

Lead partner enablement

• Design and own partner enablement programmes that drive referrals

• Build structured email nurture journeys, supporting them through onboarding → activation → growth

• Deliver enablement through webinars, email (including automations), training, events, and co-marketing

Own budget & campaign execution

• Manage and deploy the partner marketing budget across campaigns and channels

• Prioritise spend based on expected impact and performance

• Test new approaches and reallocate budget to maximise ROI

Run campaigns end-to-end

• Own campaign strategy, execution, and performance reporting

• Launch campaigns that generate partner-sourced pipeline and referrals

• Use AI to create scalable content and templates to support repeatable execution

• Identify and lead co-marketing opportunities with key partners

Use data to drive growth

• Analyse partner and campaign performance to identify drop-offs and opportunities

• Track results and continuously optimise campaigns

• Take a test-and-learn approach to improving engagement and referral output

 

Work closely with the Partnerships Lead to align on priorities and targets

Own partner marketing planning and bring structure to how we operate

Share clear updates, insights, and recommendations with stakeholders

What you'll need

• You have great experience in a partner marketing or channel role

• You’ve owned budgets and are confident allocating spend to drive measurable outcomes

• You’ve owned and scaled marketing strategies, not just supported them

• You’re commercially minded, with a focus on driving pipeline, referrals, or revenue

• You’re confident running multi-channel campaigns (email, events, webinars, content)

• You’re data-driven and comfortable using performance insights to shape strategy

• You’re highly organised, proactive, and comfortable operating with autonomy

• You collaborate well with partnerships or sales teams and can influence stakeholders

• You bring a strong growth mindset - you test, learn, and iterate quickly

• 💰 Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit!
