Corporate Partnerships Manager
London, SW

About Us

The National Literacy Trust is a national charity dedicated to raising literacy levels in the UK. One person in six in the UK has poor literacy skills that impact on every area of their life. A child without good reading, writing and communication skills can’t succeed at school, and as an adult they could be locked out of the job market. Poverty doubles the likelihood that, by the age of five, a child’s literacy skills will be below average.

We are now looking for a Corporate Partnerships Manager to join our team and ensure continued strong relationships with our partners.

The Benefits

- Cycle to work scheme
- Season ticket loans

If you have experience in the voluntary sector, specifically with developing corporate relationships and generating income, this is a fantastic opportunity to join an organisation transforming lives through literacy.

We believe that the ability to communicate is a fundamental right and that society will only be fair when everyone has the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills they need to fulfil their potential.

So, if you want to build on your experience, take on a high-profile role within our organisation and help give children and young people from disadvantaged communities the literacy skills to succeed in life, we want to hear from you.

The Role

As the Corporate Partnerships Manager, you will work with our wide range of corporate partners, providing a high level of stewardship to grow and develop existing relationships and secure income to support our work. There will also be an element of new business development.

Reporting to the Head of Partnerships, you will:

- Develop existing partnerships and secure incremental income
- Meet agreed income, cost efficiency and profitability targets
- Secure new business through market and prospect research, networking, identifying and responding to leads and working closely with colleagues across the organisation

TPP are currently recruiting for a Corporate Fundraiser for a youth charity which provides young people with adventurous opportunities in order to get a possible head start in life. The role is paying £36,000, permanent and based in Central London.

The role is split between new business (70%) and account management (30%) with a fundraising target of £200k per annum.

With the new fundraising strategy in place this is a great opportunity to potentially build a team within 5 years.

In order to be successful in this role you will have knowledge and experience of corporate fundraising. You will have excellent communication skills, oral and written, to engage and enthuse prospects with the charity's cause and aims. Finally, you will have a good understanding of the fundraising landscape including the Code of Fundraising standard.

You will benefit from 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, increasing to 29 days after two years' service, flexitime, WFH 1 day a week, generous Aviva pension contribution, season ticket loans, private medical insurance, mobile discounts (EE) and a brand new office (opening summer 2020) next to the current office where agile working will be encouraged.
