In this role, you will:
• Proactively identify and prioritise high value, strategically aligned corporate prospects.
• Build and manage a strong pipeline of opportunities with tailored engagement and stewardship plans.
• Create and deliver compelling, high-quality partnership proposals and pitches.
• Negotiate partnership terms and ensure smooth handovers to account managers for long-term growth.
• Work collaboratively across teams to embed safeguarding and compliance into all partnership activity.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of corporate fundraising strategy, bringing energy and innovation to the team.

We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.

We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
