You will work collaboratively with colleagues across the Partnerships team to deliver an ambitious income target and provide outstanding experiences for our partners. 

Working with the Corporate Partnerships team, you will take the lead on coordinating corporate volunteering initiatives — liaising with partners and internal teams to create meaningful and well organised experiences. In addition, you will support the delivery of large, strategic partnerships and play an active part in supporting new business development activity - researching opportunities within priority sectors and managing inbound partnership queries and donations.

There will also be opportunities to support Smart Works Pop up Shops and Fashion Sales. This role will also support the Philanthropy Manager on the delivery and growth of our Fashion Club membership programme, ensuring members receive an excellent experience through high-quality administration, engaging communications, and well-executed events.
