We’re looking for a New Partnerships Manager to help us secure long-term, high-impact corporate partnerships—particularly in the Fashion and Food & Agriculture sectors. These partnerships will play a crucial role in advancing our work on gender justice, climate justice and humanitarian action.

What you'll be doing 

As our New Partnerships Manager, you will:

• Build and cultivate a strong pipeline of new corporate prospects, using creative, targeted approaches.
• Develop and pitch compelling partnership ideas, proposals and presentations that show companies how they can make a meaningful difference with Oxfam.
• Act as a trusted relationship-builder — listening carefully, understanding what partners need, and creating agreements that work for everyone.
• Collaborate closely with colleagues across Oxfam, including country teams, senior leaders and technical experts, to shape partnership opportunities grounded in real programme needs and community priorities.
• Work with our Integrity & Ethics colleagues to ensure all partnerships align with our values and standards.

• Experience or interest in international development, sustainability, ethical business, responsible supply chains or related areas.
• A flexible, resilient and self-motivated mindset.
• A commitment to Oxfam’s feminist principles and to building inclusive, equitable partnerships.

Experience in Fashion or Food & Agriculture sectors is a big plus (in particular working on ethical trade and responsible business practices in supply chains) as is familiarity with Salesforce or similar CRM systems — but neither is essential.

What we offer:

• Flexible working options
• A supportive, values-driven team culture
• Opportunities to develop your skills in partnership-building, ethical business and sustainable development
• The chance to deliver partnerships with real-world impact
• An environment where you can bring your whole self to work and help shape a fairer, kinder world

Who we are:

Oxfam is a global movement of millions of people working together to end poverty and inequality. In our Engagement division, we inspire people to take action — through giving, partnership, campaigning and community.

We work flexibly, collaboratively and with deep respect for the communities we serve. We are committed to inclusion, accountability and empowerment, and we expect all colleagues to uphold these values every day.

Ready to use your skills for global good?

If you’re excited by the idea of building partnerships that create real, lasting change—and you thrive in roles where curiosity, creativity and relationship-building are key—we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and help Oxfam grow the partnerships that build a more equal world.

About Us Gilbert Whites House & Gardens offers a window into the origins of the science that underpins the study of natural history through the lives of three explorers whose curiosity led to a deeper understanding of the world we live in. 

• Our vision is to: To inspire journeys of discovery in the natural world to make better lives for people and the planet.   

• Our mission to create a place where everyone can connect with nature and learn from explorers of the natural world, showing the way to a sustainable future, collaborating widely and, following in the footsteps of Gilbert White, sharing our passion to observe and record nature.

The ‘Natural History of Selborne’ has been continuously in print since its first publication in 1789 and is reputedly the fourth most published work in the English language.  Written by Gilbert White it has contributed to the fields of ecology (the natural science of the relationships among living organisms and their environment) and phenology (the timing of biological events in relation to climate) ever since. He undertook his scientific observations in the small rural village of Selborne and this work has since inspired others to observe, enquire and record nature to understand the relationships that exist within our environment.  Charles Darwin wrote that he  ‘stood on the shoulders’ of White when he came on ‘a pilgrimage to Selborne’ as a young man in June 1857 David Attenborough wrote that Gilbert White was ‘A man in total harmony with his world.’ Introduction to Selborne, 1977 This unique historical manuscript is today housed in the home where Gilbert was born in 1720 and later lived for 66 years. The curation of this heritage home and its grounds was made possible by a generous donation from the Oates family, supporting a trust which purchased the property to establish a library and museum dedicated to natural history that opened in 1955.

The museum is now in its 70th year celebrating the lives of all three explorers of the natural world: Gilbert’s studies in Selborne in the 1700’s, Frank’s work in Africa and Central America in the mid-1800s and Lawrence’s famed contribution to the Scott expedition to the South Pole in 1912. Together they are celebrated through their original drawings, writings, specimens and artefacts housed in our galleries.  They provide an insight over three centuries to the curiosity that contributed to our understanding of nature, our environment and the climate change we are currently witnessing. Today the UK is recognised as one of the least nature connected and most nature depleted countries in the world.  Our renewed strategy is to ensure that the legacy that we curate is accessible, relevant, educational and inspirational for future generations. Our aim over the coming five years is to update the interpretation of our collections and heritage assets, expanding the ‘story’ of our explorers to the 21st century, showing the importance of all of our relationships to the natural world in order to inspire thought and change.  The goal being to create a new narrative as a Museum of Natural World at the home of Gilbert White & The Oates Collections.
