About United Repair Centre

At United Repair Centre, we consider ourselves to be social pioneers on a mission to repair the clothing industry by putting people first, one garment at a time. We have three main goals in doing this:

Goal 2: To reduce textile waste

Goal 3: Do it at scale to really change the system

We work with global brands to provide life-extension services such as Repair, ReNew, and ReMake programs. These programs not only help brands achieve circularity goals but also reduce waste and create meaningful jobs for skilled craftspeople.

The Role

We are seeking an energetic and detail-oriented ‘Junior’ Partnership Manager to help nurture and grow relationships with our existing partners. In this role, you’ll play a key part in tracking performance, using data and feedback to optimise collaboration, and ensuring that partners gain maximum value from our services and platform.

• Provide actionable insights to improve the client experience using data from our Repair Tech Platform

• Support cross-functional collaboration to ensure partner success and operational alignment

Who You Are

• A motivated professional with 1–3 years of experience in account management, partnerships, or client services—ideally in sustainability, textiles or tech

• Skilled in organizing and managing projects across teams and timelines

• Comfortable working with data tools (e.g., Excel, Google Sheets, dashboards) and translating insights into action

• Clear and confident communicator who enjoys relationship-building

• Passionate about sustainability, circularity, and social impact

• Fluent in English (Dutch is a plus)

Education & Experience

• Degree in Business, Commercial Economics, Communications, or a related field (HBO level or higher)

• Prior experience in the fashion or textile industry is a strong advantage

What We Offer

• A competitive salary in line with the MITT CAO Functionscale 7 (€2,800 - 3,275, depending on experience).
