Channel Marketing Manager

Job Description

We’re looking for a Channel Marketing Manager to help shape and elevate the Virgin Media Business partner ecosystem. If you’re passionate about creating impactful partner experiences, building strong marketing assets, and delivering stand‑out events, this role offers the chance to make a visible impact in a growing, fast‑paced environment.

In this role, you’ll lead the development and delivery of partner‑facing marketing activity that strengthens partner engagement and supports commercial goals. You’ll translate partner needs into clear, effective marketing campaigns, events, and collateral—ensuring consistent brand representation and measurable results.

You’ll take ownership of the annual Partner Event, managing everything from strategy and content to logistics and evaluation. Alongside this, you’ll run a calendar of partner engagement and hospitality events and support internal events for partner‑facing teams.

Collaboration is central to this role- you’ll work closely with brand, campaign, product, digital, sales and channel teams, as well as external agencies, to ensure activity is aligned and executed to a high standard. You’ll define and track KPIs to measure the impact of channel marketing, reporting insights and identifying ways to improve performance.

If you enjoy owning end‑to‑end projects, building strong relationships and creating marketing that drives real outcomes, this is an opportunity to join a high‑performing team and contribute to the ongoing growth of the Virgin Media Business Partner Programme.

Who we are

The UK’s fastest broadband network. The nation’s best-loved mobile brand. And, one of the UK's biggest companies too. We put our customers first, making life simpler, smoother, and more joyful. With big ambitions and a brilliant team, we’re building a more connected future for everyone.

Our ways of working

We’re a flexible-first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration, we ask everyone to spend at least eight days each month connecting in person.

That doesn’t just mean time in the office, it could be team meetings, offsites, volunteering days, cross-functional projects, or away days - anywhere meaningful collaboration happens. What matters is making those moments purposeful, so when we come together, it really counts.
