About the Role
The Corporate Partnerships Manager sits within an ambitious and forward-thinking Fundraising & Communications team at an exciting point of growth, as we develop. This is a pivotal role for someone who is motivated not only by stewarding and deepening existing partnerships, but by actively driving new business and unlocking fresh opportunities for impact.
Based in Westminster, at the heart of power and industry, we are uniquely positioned to connect with businesses and organisations whose employees encounter the reality of homelessness every day—on their commute, on their lunch break, and on the streets around them. This role offers a powerful opportunity to inspire those organisations to take action, providing meaningful ways for them to respond to an issue that is visible on all our doorsteps.
We are looking for a dynamic and strategic relationship-builder who can both nurture a strong portfolio of current corporate supporters and proactively identify, secure, and grow new partnerships aligned with our mission. The successful candidate will play a central role in shaping and expanding our Corporate Partnerships function, with significant scope to influence direction, test new ideas, and deliver meaningful income growth.
This role will suit someone ambitious, creative, and results-driven—someone who thrives on developing compelling propositions, spotting opportunities, and turning them into long-term, high-value partnerships. You will bring a strong track record in corporate fundraising or partnerships, alongside a solutions-focused mindset and the confidence to translate sector best practice into tangible results. And you’ll be passionate about creating partnerships that deliver real social impact.
