Role: Head of Partnerships and Programme Funding

Location: Flexible within TT country offices (UK, Kenya, Tanzania, Bangladesh)

Salary Band 2: £50,000-56,000 FTE dependent on experience, plus London Weighting if applicable

Transform Trade (TT) supports producers across the world – helping them to build a bright future for their communities and fight for a fairer trade system.

Through a combination of direct grants, long-term support, and advocacy, we help producer collectives and social enterprises to thrive – and show the world that a better way of doing business is possible.

We work across Africa and Asia, and our focus is on making change in the farming, fashion and tea sectors. 

This role will lead the development and delivery of TT’s programme funding and partner engagement strategy. You will be responsible for expanding and stewarding relationships across TT’s funders, particularly philanthropic funders and select public sector development partners (statutory donors) and growing our funding.

You will lead the design of high-quality, fundable initiatives built on participatory, equitable partnerships - ensuring those we serve help shape the solutions. Working with colleagues across regions, you will secure strategic funding from donors including Trusts and Foundations, statutory donors such as the EU, FCDO, SIDA, Danida, and pursue selective consortium contracts aligned with our mission and capacity.

This is both an external facing and internal catalytic role. We are looking for someone who combines strategic vision with hands-on delivery: a strong communicator who can turn complex ideas into compelling proposals, build partnerships based on trust and shared values, and navigate donor priorities with confidence.

You’ll also play a key role in defining Transform Trade’s “red lines” on full cost recovery, match funding, strategy and portfolio fit, while coordinating staff and a small pool of technical consultants to ensure excellence in programme design.

If you have a proven record in institutional fundraising and programme development, thrive in collaborative environments, and share our commitment to producer-led systemic change, we’d love to hear from you.
