Debates around Black Lives Matter, mass remote working, inequality in our education system exposed by Covid-19 restrictions and debates about privilege – our society and our world of work is very clearly at a turning point.

As a social mobility charity, The Brokerage is in the fortunate position to influence that change in a positive, practical and meaningful way, working with underprivileged young people from state schools. We partner with corporates in the City (financial and professional services) that want our help with building and accessing a different talent pool and change organisational practices to create a post-inclusion culture where people from all backgrounds can thrive and be themselves.

The Brokerage is at a critical and dynamic point having recently launched a strategic re-direction, innovative new services and a relevant new brand, all supporting our vision of a world where a young person’s ability and aspiration alone determine their career path. At the heart of this exciting new direction is implementing our new partnership model to ensure that The Brokerage is both re-positioned as a Changemaker with corporates and ensures sustainable funding of its activities.  

To achieve this The Brokerage is currently recruiting for a Partnership Manager. This is an incredible opportunity for a proactive relationship-builder who enjoys working within a fast-paced environment as part of a dynamic, results-driven team. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in helping us achieve our vision well as contributing to the development and implementation of our 2020-22 strategic plan.  

We are less interested in your experience and more in your personality and attitude: we are looking for someone highly motivated, energetic and engaging who loves building and maintaining successful relationships. We are a small team and there is so much potential for us to grow so you will need to be extremely proactive, resourceful, good at spotting opportunities but equally good at turning those opportunities into revenue-generating, sustainable partnerships. Most importantly, you’ll be the interface with our corporate partners, representing The Brokerage brand, so a client service attitude, ability to work at pace and very high standards are a must.

We particularly welcome applications from candidates who have a lived experience of our beneficiaries’ characteristics (e.g. are from a BAME and/or underprivileged background).
