ABOUT THE ROLE

The Senior Development Manager (Trees for Streets) is the strategic development lead for our Trees for Streets programme. It is a unique and exciting programme that operates across the UK.

They are responsible for managing and optimising the programme, also known as ‘The National Street Tree Sponsorship Scheme’. They will ensure that this special and innovative initiative can flourish as a nationally significant programme, which gets noticed by decision makers and the public alike.

Through maximising the opportunities offered by Trees for Streets, they will play a pivotal role in securing major and fresh investment into streets. This will help transform streets into leafy, liveable places, ultimately mobilising partners and communities towards the planting and long-term stewardship of urban trees.

ABOUT TREES FOR CITIES

Trees for Cities is an ambitious, far-reaching organisation.

Trees for Cities is the only charity that focuses on planting, protecting and promoting urban trees across the UK. We are a rapidly growing and developing organisation that suits ambitious, dedicated and passionate staff. It’s an exciting time to join as we embark on a new 5-year strategy, which will see us launch a movement for urban trees and tree equity.

ABOUT YOU

A strategic mindset: This is a senior, highly collaborative and outward-facing role, which can shape and execute strategic decisions to increase the effectiveness of this special programme for us and our partners. You will have a strategic mindset, complemented by deep programme management experience. You will be confident in scoping and identifying development opportunities, whilst also providing effective management of a multi-scheme programme. You are confident with partners, and they feel involved and central to decision-making.

On partnerships: You will already be adept at high-level partnership management and correspondingly have advanced influencing and negotiating skills. You have a good sense for where synergy exists and are confident engaging people about opportunities. A business mindset and ways of working will be innate to you. Importantly, you can blend the financial and technical opportunities offered by sponsorship platforms with the strategic objectives of a charity to help change lives with trees and build movements for change.

Managing programme complexity: This is a complex programme, with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders. You won't be phased by that, because you enjoy collaborative working and know how to manage a diverse range of relationships towards a common purpose, especially when you are not directly responsible for their work. Being a complex programme, there is a lot to keep on top of, but you are a natural problem solver, and attention to detail matters to you.

On learning: You might not know a huge amount about trees, and that's fine (for now), but you are passionate about how sponsorship programmes and ‘tech for good’ can play a pivotal role in making life better, drive powerful partnerships, and bring in fresh resources to help address environmental and social problems. Whilst your knowledge about schemes like this, or how to plant trees in streets is limited, you are not fazed by the need for this learning.

Understanding context: You will have great insight into how Local Authorities operate, know what’s important to them and instinctively know how a sponsorship scheme can help them deliver on multiple objectives that matter to them. At the same time, you’ll have at least some sense for the national stakeholders and funders who have an interest in creating leafy streets and can work up purposeful relationships with them.

Trees for Cities is committed to the principles of equal opportunity. We value diversity and are committed to promoting diversity within the workplace. We aim to ensure that our employees achieve their full potential and that all employment decisions, including recruitment, are taken without reference to irrelevant or discriminatory criteria.
