Do you have a passion for media, content, and commerce? Do you see, like no other, where the power of a format and the needs of a brand intersect? And do you get energy from developing partnerships that connect brands to our content, talents, and audiences in a relevant and distinctive way? Then we are looking for you!

Branded Content & Partnerships is the creative heart and a key differentiator for Talpa Media as a saleshouse. In a market where reach, data, and automation are increasingly becoming the norm, we create the value that technology alone cannot deliver. This is where creativity, context, and meaningful brand integrations make the difference. Within this domain, it is about editorial direction and creative impact: the ability to connect brands to stories, talents, and audiences in an authentic and impactful way. No standardized solutions, but strategic customization that makes brands distinctive, increases relevance, and realizes both brand and business impact.

As Client Lead Content Partnerships, you will be part of the Content Partnerships team within Branded Content & Partnerships. This discipline focuses on proactive commercial development surrounding our video and audio formats. We look ahead to what is being developed and programmed within Talpa Media and translate this into relevant and distinctive partnership opportunities for advertisers. In doing so, we work closely with producers, broadcasters, creative, sales, and other specialists within Talpa Media. Based on the content of a format, we determine which brands and categories logically align with it, develop strong commercial propositions, and then proactively bring these to the market. From an initial opportunity or creative idea to a convincing pitch and ultimately a partnership that is both editorially and commercially sound.

As Client Lead Content Partnerships, you are responsible for developing, positioning, and marketing commercial partnerships surrounding our formats. You combine commercial insight with a strong affinity for content and know how to recognize opportunities early and convert them into concrete propositions.

A glimpse of your responsibilities:

• You are responsible for the proactive commercial development surrounding selected video and audio formats of Talpa Media;

• You immerse yourself in new and existing formats and identify which brands, industries, and commercial objectives align with them editorially and strategically;

• Together with producers, broadcasters, creative, and other internal disciplines, you develop distinctive partnership propositions;

• You translate formats into clear, inspiring, and commercially strong propositions and pitches for advertisers and media agencies;

• You proactively bring these propositions to the market and are responsible for the commercial process from first contact to partnership;

• You build and maintain strong relationships with advertisers and media agencies and know how to inspire them editorially with relevant opportunities within our content;

• You use insights from Marketing Intelligence to editorially strengthen propositions and pitches;

• You monitor the balance between the commercial objectives of a brand and the strength, credibility, and content of the format;

• You work intensively with various disciplines within Talpa Media and know how to bring parties together from a clear commercial and editorial vision;

• You actively signal new commercial opportunities and contribute to the further development of Content Partnerships as a distinctive proposition of Talpa Media.

In short: a commercial and creative key role in which you bring content, brands, and partnerships together and in which you can make the difference from the first idea to the final collaboration.

• HBO/WO working and thinking level, preferably in media, marketing, communication, or a commercial direction;

• At least 4 years of relevant experience within media, marketing, branded content, partnerships, or a similar commercial environment;

• A strong commercial drive and the ability to recognize and capitalize on opportunities;

• Demonstrable affinity with content, media, formats, and entertainment;

• Strategic and creative thinking capacity: you can make the translation from a format to relevant opportunities for brands;

• You are convincing in pitches and conversations and know how to bring different stakeholders along with an idea;

• You possess strong relational skills and preferably a relevant network among advertisers and/or media agencies;

• You are entrepreneurial, proactive, result-oriented, and get energy from developing new business;

• You enjoy collaborating, but at the same time take ownership of your own projects and commercial processes;

• Good command of the Dutch and English languages, both spoken and written.

You are a commercial content thinker who sees opportunities where others do not yet see them. You understand what brands need, but at the same time have a sense for the power and integrity of content. You do not wait for a briefing to arrive, but actively search for the right combination of brand, format, and moment. You are curious, creative, and entrepreneurial, and you get energy from building partnerships that add value to all parties. In doing so, you combine persuasiveness with editorial sharpness and know how to convert ideas into concrete commercial results.

AI is changing the way we work, create, and innovate. At Talpa, we expect you to be curious about the possibilities of AI and to use them actively and responsibly, where relevant to your role, to make your work smarter, better, and more creative. You continue to develop yourself in this, share insights with colleagues, and keep an eye on both the opportunities and the risks of AI, including privacy, security, and reliability.
