"The most exciting food start up in the UK"

Sessions - The Record Label for Food.

Sessions has now become a market leader with our licensing model, the company now works with over 200 'host partners' - these are F&B businesses who are using Sessions.

The Head of Partner Success is based within our 'Platform Team' which would be known by some businesses as the customer success team.

The Platform team sit at the centre of the business, responsible for building and managing our 'core platform' at the intersection of the brands and the host partners.

Underpinning all roles in the Platform team is the successful execution of onboarding and launching Hosts into the estate. The Platform team will be trained on all operational and transactional tasks.

The Platform team is also responsible for Host viability; ensuring Hosts are open, operational, performing well and do not 'churn'.

The Head of Partner Success will provide line management to an initially small but growing team of Account Managers.

They will work alongside the team to ensure that our hosts are given the best possible customer support when joining Sessions and throughout their tenure with us.

The Head of Partner Success will work closely with the Platform Director to ensure the team is living to the Sessions' values of 'data lead' and ultimately ensuring the team do everything they can to ensure strong metrics from our partners.

‍ We are Agile - We are customer-obsessed and adapt as needed to meet their needs
We are Ambitious - We aim to not only discover but create on-trend brands and are excited by the work required to become a tastemaker brand
We are Fun - We keep playfulness at the centre of our culture so that we can deliver on the very serious business of keeping food fun
We are data-driven - We don't make assumptions based on what has always been done and instead focus on what the data tells us should be done

Our benefits list got too long and we had to move it to the bottom
