Chief Executive Business Manager Jobs in Bromley, Greater London
About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people, working side by side with thousands of people each year as they find ways out of homelessness. We know that homelessness is not inevitable; we know that together we can end it.
This year, we will begin our new ten-year strategy to end homelessness. Key to our mission is thinking differently and more ambitiously about how we engage with corporate partners and the commercial sector and how we can generate more support for our cause across England, Scotland, and Wales.
Location: Based in our London office (we are open to a range of flexible working options, in line with Crisis’ Hybrid-Working Policy)
About the role
As we embark on a new ten-year strategy, this is a unique opportunity to lead the development of a radical and ambitious approach to partnerships with businesses, building on the successful partnerships we have with Lloyds Banking Group, Specsavers, Taylor Wimpey, Berkeley Homes and many more.
This pivotal role will lead the development of a corporate and commercial engagement strategy across Crisis, growing and deepening our portfolio of corporate partners, broadening their support for our organisation and our cause, and inspiring them to act within their businesses. The role also involves leading the continued development of our fundraising and partnerships outside of London, creating a national support network to end homelessness.
While the role is directly responsible for strategic and corporate partnerships, the post holder will lead across the charity, ensuring a joined-up approach across retail, service delivery (including Crisis at Christmas), brand partnerships, venture philanthropy, investments, and innovation.
The role also involves membership of the Brand, Marketing & Fundraising senior team and the organisation’s Senior Leadership Group, where it plays an important organisation-wide leadership role. Additional investment has recently been made in the team, and senior leadership and the Board have committed to supporting its success.

-
Can think creatively about partnerships, leveraging the unique opportunities that Crisis has.
-

We believe diversity is a strength, and we aim to ensure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.

The NBN Trust is a nature charity with a difference. Our mission is making data work for nature. “Data??? That’s a bit niche!”, I hear you say. And you’re right – but it’s a vitally important niche. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth and, if we’re to stand any hope of fixing it, we’re going to need data. Lots of data. “What gets measured gets done”, as the saying goes. We need to understand what we’ve lost and what remains. We need to set targets for nature’s recovery. And we need to measure success as nature turns the corner and starts to make a comeback.
That’s where the NBN Trust comes in. We support the entire UK conservation movement by providing public access to the wildlife data that’s needed to make good decisions for nature. We’re a conservation charity, tech charity and people charity rolled into one – a unique combination! This gives us novel opportunities for fundraising, and we’re excited to be recruiting our first ever dedicated fundraiser, to develop and lead a programme of innovative partnerships with corporate supporters, trusts and foundations. Could this be your next career move?
Working closely with our CEO and our leadership team, you’ll be responsible for:
· Initiating, developing and maintaining high-value relationships with new and potential funders, including trusts, foundations and corporate partners.
· Creating high-quality proposals and grant bids that address our strategic priorities.
· Managing an ambitious fundraising pipeline.
· Helping to build a strong fundraising culture and ethos across the organisation.
We’re a 100% remote-working charity, so you’ll need to be comfortable and effective working from home. The whole team meets up four times a year for in-person team meetings (in London and other locations around the UK). In this role, you’ll also travel to some face-to-face meetings and events with funders and partners.
We’re an equal opportunities and Living Wage employer. We welcome all applicants, and we're striving to create an inclusive and diverse team. If you’re interested in joining us, please see the job pack on our website and get in touch if there’s anything you’d like to ask.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Location: Flexible within the UK. Blended or fully office based (from our offices in Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh or London).
Closing Date: 18 June 24
