Senior Manager, Marketing & Partnerships

About the role

A leading online music service platform, recruited through eRecruiter, is hiring a Senior Manager, Marketing & Partnerships in Lagos. The role owns subscriber revenue across all markets by managing telco and distribution partnerships end-to-end, combining strong data and content-marketing instincts with hands-on work inside telco relationships and the numbers.

Key responsibilities

• Own all telco relationships at a senior level: weekly check-ins, quarterly evaluations, commercial proposals and renewal negotiations.
• Set and track revenue targets (subscribers, ARPU, churn) across markets, challenging the data rather than just reporting it.
• Lead, align and hold accountable the regional M&P managers and Social & Community specialists.
• Own content and distribution strategy as a revenue lever, focusing on what content drives conversion and retention.
• Identify and propose new partnership opportunities (telcos, billing partners, platform integrations).
• Give audience, market and creative input into paid acquisition campaigns run by Growth & Product Operations, working closely with them; media buying execution sits outside this seat.
• Coordinate with Product and Finance on commercial data, reporting and pricing decisions.
• Represent the company externally in key commercial conversations alongside the COO and CEO.

Required profile

• Proven track record managing telco or digital distribution partnerships in African markets, including commercial negotiation.
• Strong analytical fluency: comfortable in GA4 and revenue dashboards, able to draw conclusions from data without it being handed to you.
• Content marketing instinct: understands what drives engagement and conversion, not just brand presence.
• Able to lead a distributed team with clear targets and minimal hand-holding.
• Confident, credible communicator with senior external stakeholders.
