Movement… a dancer’s toe shifting across the stage, the moment of sale between an artist and a buyer. The lurch in your heart hearing a favourite song.
BASA is committed to keeping the arts moving, through connecting creativity and enterprise, effecting social change through transformational business-arts partnerships.
Join our team and move forward with us as we create opportunities between diverse sectors of South Africa to unleash the potential of the creative sector as a catalyst for partnerships and synergising shared value. We’ll help you unleash yours.
The Partnerships & Stakeholder Manager leads BASA’s partnership development and stakeholder growth strategy, strengthening the organisation’s sustainability, relevance, and sector impact.
This is a senior, market-facing leadership role responsible for positioning BASA as a trusted strategic partner within corporate South Africa, government, and the broader innovation and creative economy ecosystem. The role focuses on cultivating long-term, values-based partnerships that align corporate priorities with BASA’s programmes, platforms, research, and advocacy work.
The incumbent is accountable for building and stewarding a high-value partnership portfolio – securing new strategic relationships, deepening existing corporate investments, and designing partnership frameworks that deliver measurable shared value. While the role contributes to revenue growth and membership expansion, it is not a transactional sales function. Instead, it centres on strategic relationship development, partnership design, and long-term value creation.
