About Us 

PEAS (Promoting Equality in African Schools) believes that every young person in Sub-Saharan Africa should have the opportunity to go to secondary school. We build and run high-quality schools in underserved rural communities where children previously had limited options after finishing primary school. 

Since 2008, we have built a network of 32 schools (28 in Uganda and 4 in Zambia), educating over 14,000 children and creating nearly 1,000 jobs. PEAS has strong external data of impact, happy funding partners and an excellent reputation within the international education sector.

At scale, PEAS schools and their support/supervision structures are financially self-sustainable. This means that there is a finite target for fundraised income. The PEAS school network is on a journey to becoming fully financially sustainable but, along the way, we need philanthropic partners to support our work. As such, we are looking for a Partnerships Lead to join our team. 

The Opportunity 

As the Partnerships Lead, you will secure new income for PEAS, as well as developing and delivering a first-class stewardship programme for PEAS’ corporate, major donor and trust and foundation partners. 

You’ll be joining a small team who are extremely committed, driven and values aligned.

- Identifying and securing new funding opportunities (40%) 
- Taking an active role in developing engaging communications for current and prospective partners (10%)

(The proportion of time spent on each area are approximates.)

Our Ideal Candidate

No matter the role, we are looking for people who believe in what we do and how we do it. You will be passionate about transforming lives through education and aligned to our values.

Knowledge and Experience

Essential:

- At least three years’ experience in account and project management
- Experience of preparing substantive reports, budgets, proposals, presentations and undertaking pitches to secure funding and support
- A proven track-record in meeting income generation and other targets in a fundraising or commercial context

Desirable:

- Knowledge and experience in donor account management (ideally in corporate, major donor and/or trust and foundations), or similar roles within the not-for-profit or commercial sector
- An understanding of current international development issues 
- Experience working in Uganda, Zambia or sub Saharan Africa 

Skills and Abilities

- Ambitious and goal-oriented, always looking to push yourself to achieve the most you can in your role
- Motivated to work to financial targets
- Proven ability to build strong and lasting relationships with senior external stakeholders and confident enough to make “the ask” to turn positive contacts into income for PEAS
- Ease in maintaining good, positive working relations with colleagues
- Ability to juggle priorities and work on own initiative
- Ability to lead and influence projects without managing those projects
- Ability to motivate and inspire colleagues, including remotely
- Exceptional written and interpersonal communication skills with strong attention to detail
- Willing and able to work occasional unsocial hours and occasionally travel overseas

You may have previously worked as an Account Manager, Project Manager, Partnerships Manager, Fundraising Manager, Major Donor Manager, Fundraising and Partnerships Manager, Philanthropy Manager, or Corporate Partnerships Manager.

Benefits 

- Salary of £35,000 - £38,000 per annum based on experience
