Yard Sale Pizza are looking for an ambitious, proactive and driven partnerships executive to join their marketing team to manage and grow our pub and venue partnerships across London.

Who are we?

Yard Sale Pizza was born out of three friends’ shared passion for simple, quality pizza.

It all began with a little oven, chugging away in Johnnie’s own backyard. Nine years later and we’re serving love and pizza across North, East and now South London. Who’d have thought? We’re still local at heart though, making orders by hand and delivering them ourselves through our in-house delivery service – never through a third party. Handmade, hand-delivered from dough to door. It makes award-winning neighbourhood pizza that bit better. We hope you agree.

We’ve been awarded Best Value Eats in the Observer Food Monthly awards in 2022, after winning their Best Cheap Eats award in 2017, have been voted London’s favourite pizza in Time Out’s inaugural Clash of the Slices in 2022, and were named London’s most-loved restaurant in Time Out’s 2016 Love London Awards.

What is my role?

As our Partnerships Executive you will work closely with our Head of Marketing & Communications, Marketing Director and the rest of the marketing team at Yard Sale Pizza to account manage our pub partnerships and build our pub partner network to drive innovation & growth across new and existing partners for Yard Sale.

You will also support the team on broader marketing initiatives and local marketing campaigns, assist with key marketing events and oversee some administrative tasks relating to our pub partners.
