About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.

Since the coronavirus outbreak began, our society has pulled together to achieve extraordinary things. Thousands of people sleeping rough have been temporarily housed in a matter of weeks, and many more were prevented from becoming homeless due to emergency changes to legislation.

As we begin to emerge from lockdown, we now stand at a crossroads: we can build on the incredible progress that has been made by helping everyone move into a secure and permanent home; or we risk seeing thousands of people being forced into homelessness.

We are recruiting for a Corporate Account Manager to join our expanding Partnerships and Philanthropy team, to work alongside our passionate supporters and beneficiaries to bring an end to homelessness in Great Britain.

About the role
As a Corporate Account Manager, you will work across some newly won accounts and get stuck in to new business, as part of a Partnerships team of 7 to help drive our next few years of growth and innovation.

The Partnerships team merged with the Philanthropy team three years ago, to maximise the cross over potential in networks and relationships between the two audiences. This has led to a new strategy, some big wins and deeper, more strategic corporate partnerships. We’ve won partnerships with some household name brands and have huge ambitions to grow this body of work not just to raise money but, crucially, to reach the public with the message that ending homelessness is now within our grasp.

We also have the support of a the newly formed Fundraising Development Team, supporting the Partnerships team. This team ensure we have incredible 6 and 7 figure cases for support, a range of volunteering experiences and the meaningful engagement opportunities we need which means you can focus on what you do best; creating exceptional relationships and impactful partnerships to end homelessness.

About you
To be successful in this role you will have:

• A track record of developing a new business pipeline, and winning partnerships at the 5 and 6 figure level
• Experience of providing excellent account management
• Experience of engaging and influencing c-suite individuals, understanding their motivations and inspiring confidence.
• A comprehensive understanding of CSR and sustainability, with an understanding of future business and CSR trends that might impact corporate fundraising
• Excellent communication and influencing skills
• An entrepreneurial attitude with the ability to learn quickly and work proactively.

Benefits
As a member of the team you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

• Interest free loans to purchase a train season ticket or a bike or for a deposit to secure a tenancy
• Mandatory pension scheme, with an employer contribution of 8.5%
• 25 days’ annual leave which increases with service to 28 days

Alongside our excellent staff benefits, we will support your ongoing development to build your skills, experience and career.

The Open Contracting Partnership (OCP) is hiring a manager to lead our efforts to build a global community of reformers driving change in the multi-trillion dollar colossus that is public contracting.

We are a fast moving, ambitious and impact driven organization.

Public contracting is huge. It covers one in every three dollars spent by government and is central to economic opportunity, a fair business environment and delivering quality services to citizens. It underpins the roads, schools and hospitals on which we all rely. It is still run on paper and the needs of citizens are rarely considered. We can change all that but we can’t do it alone which is why community building is so important to us.

We are looking for a creative, high energy, organized professional who has a great track record in curating communities. You will be a strategic thinker and a real doer, someone who takes initiatives to develop and implement creative ideas to connect and empower a community of diverse reformers and make it more than the sum of its parts.

We already have a strong community across government, civil society, media, academia, technologists, the private sector and other stakeholder groups. We want to take their engagement and empowerment to the next level.

Our organizational strategy has ambitious community building targets and you will be responsible for helping us to meet and exceed them. You will facilitate in-person and online events and run social media campaigns in key countries and at the global level. You will be someone who listens to and acts upon feedback of our community on how we can best support them to accelerate their work and impact.

We want to be surprised by your ideas, impressed by your ability to execute and inspired by how you collaborate with community members and our team.

For an exceptional candidate, we will hire at our Senior Manager level.

Job location is flexible and you can be employed through the UK, US or elsewhere.

About the role

At the Canal & River Trust, we believe life’s better by water, and that the waterways we take care of have an important contribution to make to the health and wellbeing of local communities and economies. That said, we’re protecting and improving canals and rivers all over the UK – and that kind of ambition takes equally ambitious fundraising, with strategy and partnerships on a national scale.

As our Corporate Engagement Partnerships Manager, you’ll be a big part of supporting that effort. You’ll lead on our national corporate partnerships; nurturing current relationships while also identifying and developing new partnerships that will provide briliant benefits and income to our charity. You’ll work with the wider team too to shape and drive our long-term corporate fundraising programme strategy,and ultimately, you’ll help keep us in a strong position to protect the nation’s waterways, now and in the future.

About you

We aim to protect every waterway in the UK, so we need innovative, entrepreneurial champions who set their sights high. You’ve got a proven track record in delivering on ambitious targets and smart strategy, securing and managing significant corporate partnerships that have brought real value to the teams you work with. Nothing fazes you: no matter the deadline, no matter the scope of the challenge, you stay calm, proactive, and attentive to the details, to deliver just what we need.

But you aren’t just driven by numbers: you’re also naturally good with people. As a confident, persuasive speaker, you’ll be an energising spokesperson for our fundraising efforts, both inside and outside our organisation. Plus, whether it’s trustees or volunteers, corporate partners or senior executives, you build lasting relationships every time. You’re not just an inspiring leader but a supportive and inclusive member of the team, keen to contribute in whatever way you can as you work with national and regional teams alike. In short, you’ve got your eyes on the prize of protecting our rivers and canals – and you know our efforts are stronger when we work together.

About us

We’re the charity who look after and bring to life 2000 miles of canals and rivers. Our waterways contribute to the health and wellbeing of local communities and economies, creating attractive and connected places to live, work, volunteer and spend leisure time. These historic, natural and cultural assets form part of the strategic and local green-blue infrastructure network, linking urban and rural communities as well as habitats. Our waterways are on the doorstep of 8 million people and reach some of the most deprived communities within the UK. By caring for our waterways and promoting their use we believe we can improve the wellbeing of our nation. Come and be part of it.

To apply

We aim to represent the diverse communities we are part of and welcome applicants from across all sectors of the community. We strongly believe that a diverse workforce brings with it a diversity of ideas, thinking and ways of working which enhances what we do.  Many of our vacancies can be considered for people who wish to work flexibly, job share or part time.

About the role

At the Canal & River Trust, we believe life’s better by water, and that the waterways we take care of have an important contribution to make to the health and wellbeing of local communities and economies. That’s why, as a charity, we do all we can to raise the funds that help us protect the nation’s canals and rivers. Part of that effort comes through the funds  from  the People’s Postcode Lottery – and that’s where you come in.

As our new People’s Postcode Lottery Partnership Manager, you’ll nurture relationships with both the People’s Postcode Lottery and our internal stakeholders. Delivering funding proposals, programmatic work, PR, and impact reporting, you’ll ensure we always make the most of our relationship, providing financial support to our work on the UK’s waterways. Plus, you’ll also ensure that our partnership meets with regulation too: you’ll have oversight of our society lottery licence, and you’ll make sure we always comply with the requirements of the Gambling Commission.

About you

This is a role with real financial and cultural impact on our efforts up and down the country, and the relationship we have with the People’s Postcode Lottery is critical. So, naturally, we need someone with depth of experience when it comes to maintaining partnerships like this one. Accomplished when it comes to corporate account management, you may have set up or managed a society lottery licence before, and you’ve got experience in developing partnerships that bring in sums of up to six or even seven figures for your charity. And, of course, you’re well-versed when it comes to charity law and fundraising best practice, making sure our work is absolutely beyond reproach. 

But beyond your experience, what do we need? Well, first and foremost, you’re a professional in the truest sense. A clear, confident and persuasive communicator who upholds our values, you’ll work together with the People’s Postcode Lottery to achieve the best possible result for us and for the nation’s waterways. Plus, as an entrepreneurial strategist with an eye for detail, you know how to spot a commercial opportunity, and work to tight deadlines to make it happen. Above all though, you’ll be motivated, like we all are, to work proactively in support of our charity. You’ll be proud to be our spokesperson, and even prouder of your positive impact on UK canals and rivers, and on the lives of the people who live and work beside them.
