About the Role

This is a standout opportunity for an ambitious corporate fundraiser to play a leading role in shaping London Youth's future corporate partnerships strategy.

Corporate partnerships are central to London Youth's growth ambitions, and as Senior New Business Manager ,you'll take ownership of developing and converting a pipeline of high-value prospects into long-term strategic partners. Focusing on five and six-figure opportunities, you'll secure transformational support from businesses that share London Youth's commitment to creating brighter futures for young people across the capital.

Reporting to the Head of Corporate Partnerships, you'll drive the full new business cycle, identifying opportunities, building relationships, developing compelling partnership propositions and negotiating support from some of the UK's leading companies.

You'll bring a demonstrable track record of developing and winning high-value partnerships, and experience securing six-figure opportunities would be particularly attractive.

You'll be a confident communicator with excellent proposal writing and presentation skills, able to engage and influence senior stakeholders while building credibility and trust. Equally important is your ability to think creatively, spot opportunities and develop compelling partnership ideas that deliver value for both organisations.

Online harm is not inevitable. This is our urgent and hopeful mission.

We are Molly Rose Foundation, founded following the death of 14-year-old Molly Russell. We work at the intersect of suicide prevention, online safety, and tech accountability to demand a safer online world and move beyond the preventable harm. We believe a better online world is possible, one where young people are protected, championed and equipped with the skills, confidence and critical algorithmic literacy they need to navigate digital spaces and thrive.
