Newcastle United have launched a search for a commercial partnerships manager as the Magpies attempt to boost revenues in order to spend even more in the transfer market.
Eddie Howe, himself, admitted on Friday that Newcastle have not got the 'free rein' to 'sign who we want and pay extortionate fees' and the head coach does not believe the club will be in a position to do so for 'some period of time' because of Financial Fair Play. The club, therefore, need to increase revenues so, in turn, more money can be spent on new players and this is where the commercial partnerships manager will come in.
According to the job advert, the new recruit will be tasked with increasing commercial growth through the 'acquisition and retention of commercial partners to ensure the club meets challenging new business acquisition and revenue growth targets'. It will fall to the commercial partnerships manager to pitch and present 'high quality, bespoke propositions' to potential partners and 'identify valuable emerging markets through ongoing research'.
