Salary: £28,000 per annum

Children’s Heart Surgery Fund (CHSF) provides vital funding and resources to support the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit in providing life-saving medical equipment, parent accommodation for families and essential ward resources. At CHSF they recognise that caring for people with congenital heart disease involves so much more than just treating the heart itself, which is why they care for the heart, mind, family and future. If you are looking to develop your career within an organisation with a mission such as this, then this could be the opportunity for you!

We are recruiting a Corporate Partnerships Manager to join the team at an exciting time in the charity’s corporate fundraising journey. In this role you will be tasked with the exciting challenge of developing and managing a pipeline of successful and mutually beneficial corporate partnerships.

Working across specific campaigns you will be required to identify new corporate leads communicating with key contacts in order to encourage and motivate them to engage with CHSF in a meaningful and beneficial way. You will also be required to nurture the relationships with existing partners, providing them with regular charity updates and encouraging their ongoing support. You will be well supported in the position but will also have the scope and flexibility to demonstrate your own flair and passion when engaging with supporters.

To be considered for this role you will ideally come to us with experience working in a fundraising setting and a good understanding of the important elements of managing corporate relationships. We are also happy consider applications from individuals from a more corporate sales or business development background who are looking to apply their skills in a charitable setting. Integral to success in this role will be your ability to follow a specific sales / business development process and you will ideally have experience adopting a systematic approach to generating and managing leads.
