About CARE

CARE International is a global humanitarian organisation leading the fight to end poverty in the world’s most challenging situations. Women and girls are at the centre of our work, because we cannot overcome poverty and inequality until all people have equal rights and opportunities. We know that when a crisis erupts, women are often the first to pick up the pieces, so we work alongside women, so they have the power to make change where it’s needed most. Founded in 1945, CARE currently works in over 100 countries and last year alone reached 53.4 million people through nearly 1,500 projects.

Why work for CARE International UK?

Lead the development of high-value, multi-year corporate partnerships that drive sustainable growth and real impact. You’ll shape and deliver our new corporate partnerships strategy, creating purposeful, winwin collaborations across ESG, brand, commercial and philanthropic opportunities. This is a vital leadership role at the heart of CIUK’s growth ambitions, with real ownership of strategy from design through to delivery-ready partnerships.

Working closely with the Head of Partnerships & Philanthropy and teams across CARE, you’ll identify innovative opportunities – from responsible supply chains to microfinance and humanitarian programmes – while managing and developing a high-performing team. With strong leadership support and the autonomy to act, you’ll play a key role in growing income, strengthening partnerships, and advancing CARE UK’s mission. You’ll build on an already impressive portfolio of partners – including Mondelez International, Diageo, Fyffes, Twinings, GSK and Haleon – as you shape what comes next.

About you

You’re an experienced corporate partnerships professional with a strong track record of securing significant income (£1m+) and building high-value relationships. You bring excellent commercial awareness, strategic thinking and the ability to lead compelling partnership proposals. You have a solid understanding of corporate priorities across employee engagement, brand, ESG and commercial drivers. You’re ready for a senior, strategic role – comfortable owning income and strategy at departmental level, and confident representing new partnerships work to CIUK’s Senior Leadership Team, and the wider CARE confederation.

You’re confident influencing and negotiating with senior stakeholders, and skilled at working across different cultures in complex, global organisations. A collaborative leader, you  are motivated by delivering impact with corporate partners in line with CARE’s values.

About the role

You’ll lead the development and delivery of CARE International UK’s new corporate partnerships strategy, securing high-value, multi-year partnerships and building a strong pipeline of opportunities. You’ll drive business development, from prospecting and relationship-building through to proposal development and closing deals. You’ll own a new partnerships income target of seven-figures-plus a year – one of CIUK’s most significant growth areas.

Leading a small new corporate partnerships team, you’ll oversee income growth, manage key processes and ensure partnerships are impactful, sustainable and aligned with CARE’s priorities. You’ll work closely with internal and global colleagues, represent CARE externally, and influence corporate audiences to position CARE as a partner of choice.
