Hello! Thanks for your interest in working at Cheek Media. We are looking to bring on a partnerships manager to help take our indie media company to the next level.

The Big Important Bit

This role is full-time and based in Sydney. We would love for you to be in the office with us on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. In saying this, Cheek offers flexible working arrangements - we want work to be accessible for you.

To apply, please email a copy of your CV to partnerships@cheekmedia.co

We hate cover letters, so instead, we ask that you please answer the following in the body of your email (all three answers should be under 350 words total):

1. What’s the most interesting thing you’ve consumed recently? We don’t care if it’s a book, a pod, an article, a TikTok, it could even be a particularly crisp diet coke.
2. What activity, task or part of your work is where you find your flow? We don’t want a LinkedIn answer that sounds impressive for the role - we want to know what actions are immersive for you.
3. What is one thing we could do tomorrow to improve Cheek Media?

Applications close Sunday 19th April.

About Cheek Media Co.

Cheek Media is a social-first independent news commentary platform that provides progressive perspectives on political and cultural conversations, reaching four million Australians every month.

With an Instagram following of more than 230,000 and a Substack that is read 300,000 times every month - we know our audience are switched-on, passionate and hungry for more. The community we’re building have an appetite for accessible commentary that responds to the failures of legacy media. The news cycle is tough, and Cheek offers people a space to express themselves, stay up to date, access resources, find their voice, have a laugh, and disagree.

We are a small but mighty team of two full-time employees, with two incredible contractors who help us one day each week. In order to build our offering and reach more people, we want to strengthen and increase our partnership opportunities to move Cheek into the next stage of growth.

This is where you come in.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a values-aligned and commercially-minded partnerships manager to help Cheek evolve. You’ll be the person growing revenue through branded content and sponsorships from pitch to publication. Working to build relationships with organisations that feel authentic to our voice and relevant to our audience. This is not an existing role with established processes that someone is taking over, we are a hardworking team trying to bring someone in with expertise we don’t have. We aren’t looking for the shiniest CV, but the right person who gets Cheek and wants to help us build something new in the media space.
