Job description

Some roles are defined before you arrive. This one is defined by you. 

When You Wish Upon a Star grants life-changing wishes for children with terminal and life-threatening illnesses. Every wish is a memory that lasts a lifetime for a family facing the unimaginable. The cause is immediate, emotionally powerful and directly translatable into the kind of impact that makes corporate partners proud to be involved. 

We are looking for someone to create and lead our corporate partnerships function. You will shape the strategy, develop the partnerships and define what this looks like for Wish. You will have the full backing of the CEO and board, direct access to senior leadership, and the freedom to bring your own thinking, creativity and ambition to a function that is yours to build. 

If that sounds like the role you have been waiting for, we would love to hear from you. 

What you will be doing 

You will identify and secure corporate partnerships that are deeply aligned with our mission, developing propositions that are emotionally compelling and commercially credible. You will represent Wish confidently at senior level, create the systems and structures that enable sustainable growth, and lay the foundations for a partnerships team that grows with the income you generate. As income grows, so does the role. The expectation is that this person builds not just a partnerships portfolio but, in time, a team around it. 

You will work closely with the Head of Income Generation and Board, with realistic targets in the early stage that give you the time and space to build the right relationships rather than rush the wrong ones. This is not a role where you will be left to figure it out alone. It is one where your ideas are wanted, your judgement is trusted, and your ambition is actively supported. 

What you will bring 

Experience securing or significantly influencing high-value partnerships or commercial relationships at senior level, ideally on a multi-year basis. A genuine instinct for spotting opportunity and the drive to turn it into something real and comfort with ownership and the confidence to create momentum.

Relevant experience may come from the charity sector or from a commercial environment. Attitude and instinct matter more to us than a specific background. 

What we offer 

We know what we are asking of you and we have built a package to reflect it. 

  • £35,000–£40,000, reviewed as the function grows 

  • 25 days holiday rising to 30 with service, plus 3 days at Christmas not taken from your allowance 

  • 2 Wish Maker days each year to make your own wishes come true 

  • 6 months full maternity pay 

  • Full sick pay from day one 

  • Flexible working with full trust over how you structure your hours 

  • A culture built on genuine care for the people who work here
