PARTNERSHIPS & EXPERIENCES MANAGER

The Robin is a fast-growing global luxury membership community connecting founders, entrepreneurs, creatives, collectors and international leaders through curated introductions, exceptional experiences and privileged access.

Born in Milan and expanding internationally, we are building a new kind of global membership club: one that lives across cities and creates meaningful connections between exceptional people, brands and places.

We are now looking for an outstanding Partnerships & Experiences Manager to join our Milan team and help build the next phase of The Robin globally.

This is not a traditional events role.

We are looking for someone commercial, charismatic, highly organised and culturally curious who genuinely understands the worlds of luxury, hospitality, fashion, art, design, private members clubs and international lifestyle.

You should be equally comfortable presenting a partnership idea to a luxury brand executive, developing an exceptional experience for our members, negotiating a commercial agreement and then making sure every detail is executed impeccably.
