About you

With a track record of stewarding impactful working relationships with celebrities/VIPs, a strong contacts book and awareness of the issues that can impact people affected by breast cancer, you'll be excellent at identifying opportunities for celebrities to support the charity.

Adept at building and sustaining trusted and influential relationships with celebrities and their agents, you'll learn what motivates and interests them, keep abreast of their changing needs and circumstances, and identify ways to work together for mutual benefit both in the short- and long-term.

Building trusted and influential relationships internally at all levels, you'll educate colleagues around the value celebrities can bring to their work and advise on the sorts of opportunities that will entice talent for best results, and manage celebrity engagement across the charity to ensure a seamless experience.
