Business development partnerships manager jobs

Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We have embarked on our 10-year strategy for ending homelessness. We know it is not inevitable. We know together we can end it.

Location: Based in our London office, E1, with regular travel (at least four times per month) across London and the UK to meet with donors and senior stakeholders. Flexible homeworking options available in line with Crisis’ Hybrid Working Policy.

Hours: 35 hours per week, we are open to a range working arrangements i.e. part-time, minimum of 28 hours per week or compressed hours.

About the role

Are you an exceptional relationship-builder with a passion for driving social change? Crisis is seeking a dynamic and strategic Principal Gifts Lead to secure transformational philanthropic support from individuals and funders capable of giving £1 million and above. This pivotal role will manage a high-value portfolio, forging deep, long-term partnerships that will unlock the resources needed to end homelessness for good. You will play a leading role in advancing our £20m Housing Supply campaign — an ambitious initiative at the heart of Crisis’ strategy to deliver genuinely affordable homes.

As a visible and influential ambassador for Crisis, you will work closely with senior stakeholders, Trustees, and volunteers to identify and inspire new opportunities for giving at the highest level. This is more than a fundraising role — it’s about building a movement of transformational support that will change lives and help shape a future free from homelessness.

About you

You will bring a strong track record of securing seven-figure philanthropic gifts, with proven success in developing new high-value relationships using a thoughtful, relationship-led approach. Your experience working with ultra-high-net-worth individuals, foundations, and senior stakeholders will be matched by your deep understanding of donor motivations and philanthropic psychology. You will be confident navigating complex organisations, able to build internal consensus, and experienced in managing engagement through senior volunteers or development boards. Your excellent interpersonal and influencing skills will ensure you thrive in high-level conversations and build long-lasting, meaningful partnerships.

Strategic and creative in your thinking, you’ll have a sharp eye for opportunities and the ability to develop compelling donor propositions that align with Crisis’ vision and priorities. You will be a strong communicator — both in writing and in person — with the credibility to engage and inspire some of our most significant supporters. With an entrepreneurial mindset, you’ll be proactive, adaptable, and eager to learn in a fast-paced, ambitious environment. Most importantly, you’ll share Crisis’ deep commitment to ending homelessness and to the values of equality, inclusion, and lasting social change.

Global Canopy is a data-driven not for profit that targets the market forces destroying nature. We do this by improving transparency and accountability. We provide innovative open-access data, clear metrics, and actionable insights to leading companies, financial institutions, governments and campaigning organisations worldwide. 

About Corporate Performance

A growing number of companies and financial institutions are seeking to mitigate their impacts on nature. But many have made commitments that are not being met, and others are failing to take any action at all. We hold to account through our Forest 500 project, assessing the policies and performance of influential companies and financial institutions. We also support financial institutions and investors with our suite of Deforestation-free Finance Guidance and a forthcoming new tool, DEFT Pathway, to support effective engagement with high-risk companies. We support the finance sector, policy makers and other stakeholders by providing market-leading data on deforestation and ESG metrics through Forest IQ. 

Role overview

An exciting opportunity for a creative and highly motivated candidate with strong technical expertise to help increase Global Canopy's impact by making world-leading environmental and financial data more accessible to our key audiences in the finance sector, business and civil society. 

The role will focus on the DEFT Pathway and related products. DEFT is a transparent, easy-to-use framework that maps out practical steps for companies to transition to deforestation-free supply chains. Hosted by best-in-class data platform Forest IQ, DEFT Pathway helps financial institutions to engage effectively with companies on deforestation. 

A key objective is to make the DEFT Pathway data accessible by building user-friendly frontend components. The data is complex and multi-dimensional and will require considerable creativity to communicate in an understandable and compelling way in order to maximise its impact. You will collaborate with designers, researchers and product managers to fulfill these aims.

As a full stack developer, you will also design and implement the backend to allow the data powering the visualisations to be accessed in a secure way. You will work with data engineers and researchers to ensure the database is well-structured and that queries are performant.

The tech team is small, so you will need to operate with a high degree of independence, and will have the opportunity to influence key technical decisions. We are looking for someone who finds this prospect exciting rather than daunting! 

Requirements:

To be successful in this role, these are the things that will matter the most: 

• Excellent full stack web development skills, ideally using python and typescript
• Knowledge of python frameworks for the backend, such as FastAPI, Flask and/or Django
• Knowledge of javascript frameworks for the frontend (preferably React/Next.js), and common data visualisation libraries such as d3
• Experience querying PostgreSQL databases, potentially using SQLAlchemy as an ORM
• Experience working with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS

Essential behavioural competencies: 

• Self-starter, happy working in a small team with a large degree of independence
• A keen eye for quality, and an appreciation of the importance of automated testing
• A desire to follow industry standard software development processes

Desirable:

• 3+ years experience
• Experience using Agile project management methods and appreciation of the benefits of these
• Knowledge of the Corporate Performance domain

Benefits

Salary: £60K full-time equivalent. This role sits within Band C on Global Canopy’s remuneration framework.
Nature of contract: Full time (37.5 hours) or part time (30 hours, 0.8 FTE). Fixed term for 21 months (approximately the end of 2027). We are a flexible employer and welcome candidates wishing to work flexibly.
Base: Our office is in Oxford, UK with flexible home-working arrangements in place. 
Holidays: 36 days (including bank/public holidays) for discretionary use across the annual leave year. Option to purchase up to an additional 5 days or equivalent of one week’s leave.
Other benefits including healthcare cash-back plan, life assurance, group income assurance, employee assistance programme, and more. 

How to Apply

The closing date for applications is 19 November 2025 at 09:00 UK time. Early application is encouraged as we will be conducting rolling interviews. We may close applications early if suitable candidates are identified. We aim to respond to all candidates within ten days of receiving their application.
