Corporate Partnerships constitutes a key strategic growth area and income stream for Street Child, especially of unrestricted/flexible funds - and is one we are committed to significantly developing as a key pilar of our plans for continued growth. Live major partners include the likes of Liberty Global plc, UBS, Accenture, Infosys and Boodles the jewellers - as well as 70+ other firms, supporting at different levels, ranging from niche outfits to household brands.

We believe we offer a compelling corporate partnership proposition - high-quality, innovative, data-driven programming that protect and educate children in some of the world’s toughest situations; leverage potential via UN, philanthropic and Government matching grants; superb, agile and highly responsive donor service, with strong ability and willingness to tailor solutions; outstanding communications; and an entrepreneurial, commercial ethos.
The role:
We believe Street Child has a huge opportunity to achieve even more growth in the Corporate Partnerships sector by diversifying our coverage and relationships into new industries and growth markets. The New Business Manager role will play a key role in leading our New Business activity outside of our existing portfolio. Reporting to our recently appointed Senior Manager for Partnership and New Business, your role will involve:
1. Core New Business activity: Researching and development of prospect lists for priority industries to implement New Business campaigns capable of securing multi-year high value partnerships. Responsibility for building Street Child’s network of corporate relationships and growing pipeline of corporate partnership opportunities.

Key activities in this role:
- Development of New Business engagement plans – identifying, researching, engaging and cultivating new corporate prospects and relationships;
- Implementing ambitious New Business campaigns to target priority industries, including the oversight of prospecting and marketing mapping activity;
- Management of new business pipeline and prospect lists, including use and maintenance of corporate prospects data on CRM;
- Close collaboration with Partnership Development and Account Management teams to promote best practice corporate donor stewardship and partnership delivery;
- Active networking and attending various international events to maximise New Business opportunities;
- Consistent, proactive New Business activity via Street Child networks and cold approaches;
- Searching for suitable open corporate partnership opportunities/calls to apply to and working with colleagues to submit high quality applications;
- Supporting our corporate advocacy events, including inviting new corporate attendees for Street Child events - and working with colleagues to help plan/strategise Street Child presence as appropriate (including Davos, UNGA);
- Working with colleagues to develop our corporate propositions – both fundraising products and exciting, innovative new project proposals alongside our Programme Funding teams.
Key qualities:
- Highly credible, with strong all-round communication skills;
- Comfortable and excited about networking at high profile events including the World Economic Forum in Davos;
- New Business mentality but with a highly strategic mind and passion for creating genuine value-exchange partnerships between the NGO and private sector;
- Personable, tenacious, resilient, imaginative, ambitious;

- Flexible and agile – you will enjoy working in a fast-paced, fluid working environment focused on growth;
- Strong corporate fundraising and/or corporate background (preferably in sales/marketing);
- This is an exciting role in a small team with hugely ambitious and exciting global growth plans in the coming years. This role will be at the heart of our rapidly growing organisation making a great difference to the lives of children living in the world’s lowest resource and most dangerous humanitarian contexts. You will have huge support - but also a lot of scope to make the role your own and choose your path to impact. The opportunity here for impact, and career progression, is vast.
We will consider candidates with two types of backgrounds:
1. Proven superb, corporate fundraising track-records, ideally in the international development/humanitarian sector (or otherwise demonstrating strong development/humanitarian knowledge and clear passion for the sector); &/or
2. A compelling, commercial background - coupled with a super clear desire to use your skills and experience in the humanitarian/development space, and the ability to rapidly build relevant technical skills and knowledge.
A prior background in international development/humanitarian is preferred but is not essential. A strong commitment to Street Child's cause is essential.

We’re looking for a highly-skilled techy, people-person. Someone who loves to build, develop and problem solve with tech tools, while taking greatest satisfaction from seeing others succeed because of the help, support and encouragement you’ve given them.
You have strong confidence with CRM, data interpretation, manipulation and automation tools, alongside experience as a trainer or teacher. Combined with creativity and excitement for improving existing systems and building new ideas from the ground up.
Our current business and data systems have evolved as the community has grown over the last 5 years. Now we’re in a really strong position to do more, and do it better. To harness the power of our diverse community data so that we can know, serve and delight our members. Supporting them to learn more and meet others in the same role so that they can have maximum impact in their own schools for their own students.
Starting as 2 days per week Oct 2024 - Apr 2025, our desire is that the success and vision of the person appointed to this new role will make it possible to transition to a longer-term contract for increased # days . That is to say, the opportunity is there, it is for you to run with.
About We Are In Beta.
We Are In Beta is an online community of 18,800+ school leaders and teachers which helps them share and learn how they get the best outcomes for their students.
We believe most of the solutions to schools’ problems are in schools already. Or at least, in the minds of the brilliant people who work in them.
Our job is to find them and share them widely, so nobody has to figure it out on their own.
Imagine a day when you can find someone - or something - that can help solve any problem you’re facing, whenever you need it.
A day when every student has leaders and teachers who are equipped with the most successful strategies and networks to improve their education.
Join us to help us build that future for our schools.
We - schools - Are In Beta - always learning.
What do we do?
To work towards that future:
-
We research great practice so our members can discover it and be inspired by it.
-
We produce and share practical content with great schools through events, webinars, podcasts and resources - so they can learn from others’ successes (and the failures too).
-
We build communities of practice so colleagues can meet and grow together
Some stats we’re really proud of:
In just 4 years we’ve grown the online community to over 18,800 school leaders and teachers.
-
3,400 - MATs and schools we are connected to
-
2500+ resources have been shared by our members - if each one on average takes two hours produce - in reality it's probably more - that’s more than…
-
3.1 years' worth of others’ work each and every one of our members can access just by being a part of the community
-
3,710 policies and resources from successful schools and MATs we have curated, analysed and shared.
-
£1,500 - the amount we save a school each time they access the research they ask us to do for them.
-
870,000 hours - the number of hours it would have taken members to discover the insights we've shared with them had they done the research on their own in silos.
-
£25 million - the amount it would have cost schools had they funded those research hours themselves
-
1.5 million - the number of miles our members would have had to have travelled to meet our expert presenters in case study schools had our community not existed online.
-
8,500 people came to the National INSET Day in Dec 2020 when the government left schools with almost no time at all to plan an end of term INSET.
We are just getting started. Join us to write the next chapter
