We're seeking an experienced Corporate Partnerships Manager who wants to be part of delivering a bold strategy to provide sustained improvements to the poorest and most excluded people in the world.

Working closely with our Policy and Advocacy Team you will ensure fundraising and advocacy agendas work in harmony and deliver against strategic objectives. We will look to you to match company funding interests with our programmes and prepare well-targeted funding applications to develop stable and predictable income streams as well as ensure we provide the best possible donor experience. You will also open doors to new supporters by networking at a senior level in the business world to increase awareness and visibility.
With knowledge and experience of proposal development you are able to build partnerships with large organisations and have a track record of securing major gifts/grants from companies. Commercially astute, you are experienced at dealing with complex budgets and tracking financial data as well as being results focussed, comfortable networking at senior level and used to closing fundraising opportunities.
