Join an ambitious charity working with some of the UK’s biggest brands to help create a future without food allergy.

This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious and commercially minded partnerships leader to join a fast-paced, high-profile team at a pivotal moment of growth — leading exciting national partnerships, developing a passionate team and helping shape the future of Natasha's Foundation.

Founded following the high-profile and tragic death of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse from a food allergic reaction at just 15 years old, our mission is deeply personal, urgent and driven by a determination to create lasting change.

Already partnering with leading retailers, food brands and major businesses across the UK, we are looking for an experienced, relationship-driven Head of Corporate Partnerships to help grow and strengthen our high-profile partnership portfolio.

At Natasha’s Foundation, we are passionate, forward-thinking and hugely ambitious about what we want to achieve. We are building a high-performing fundraising and partnerships team that combines purpose with pace, creativity and commercial thinking. We are looking for someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment, enjoys building genuine relationships and is excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of one of the UK’s most important and fast-growing health charities.

Reporting to the Director of Corporate Partnerships and Fundraising, the Head of Corporate Partnerships will lead and support the development of strategic partnerships, manage and inspire a growing team, and help unlock exciting new opportunities across corporate fundraising, brand partnerships, sponsorship, cause-related marketing and employee engagement.

You will be confident engaging with senior decision-makers, passionate about creating innovative partnerships and motivated by being part of a charity with a bold vision for a future without food allergy.

The role is primarily remote with regular travel to meetings, events and monthly team days in London.

We are delivering an ambitious fundraising strategy to grow and optimise voluntary net income, public support and awareness of our charity.

Above all, you will be genuinely analytical, comfortable working with data, confident interrogating campaign results, and skilled at spotting the patterns that drive better decisions. You will use insight to challenge assumptions — including your own — and to keep raising the bar on what your campaigns deliver.  Organised and comfortable juggling multiple priorities, you will be a confident communicator at ease briefing agencies and working across teams, someone who cares about doing things properly: brand, compliance and supporter experience all matter equally.
