Job description

Closing Date: 1 May 2024
Ref 6681

Save the Children UK has an exciting opportunity for a driven individual to join us as our Senior Philanthropy and Partnership Manager - Africa. This is an opportunity for a motivated individual who is passionate about driving positive change in Africa through philanthropy and strategic partnerships. You will build meaningful relationships with high-net-worth individuals and corporate partners and manage high-value philanthropic partnerships aimed at transforming the lives of children worldwide.

About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.  When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave.  We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

About you
As our Senior Philanthropy and Partnership Manager-Africa, you will be responsible for cultivating and stewarding relationships with Africa-based donors, including corporates, foundations, and high-net-worth individuals. Working closely with our Partnership and Philanthropy Team, as well as regional and country offices across Africa, you will drive new business opportunities and secure significant six to seven figure gifts. 

As part of the Africa Philanthropy team, you will play a pivotal role in advancing the Africa Philanthropy Initiative (API) and our mission to raise funds and develop strategic partnerships that benefit children across the African continent.

In this role, day -to- day, you will:

  • Collaborate with country offices to progress existing opportunities and develop proposals for new business, leveraging local philanthropic trends.
  • Work alongside the Head of Africa Philanthropy to implement strategic corporate and philanthropy aspirations, driving forward directly funded new funding models.
  • Network and attend external events to raise visibility for Save the Children's Africa Philanthropy Initiative.
  • Develop and implement strategic donor plans and stewardship events, tailored to engage and steward donors from Africa.
  • Manage the Africa Advisory Board, identify potential donors, and ensure effective approaches are made to secure funds.

To be successful, it is important that you have:

  • Experience in working or living in Africa, with a passion for African philanthropy and its potential for transformative change.
  • Demonstrated ability to build and manage relationships with high-level stakeholders in the charity or private sector.
  • Proven track record of securing six to seven figure gifts from high-net-worth individuals or experience in securing new business in a commercial environment.
  • Exceptional proposal writing skills and experience in developing high-quality proposals for business and/or philanthropy partners.
  • Familiarity with emerging markets, preferably in Africa, and a knack for identifying and cultivating new business opportunities.
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, and relationship-building skills.
  • Commitment to Save the Children's values and mission to improve the lives of children and families worldwide.

What we offer you:

  • Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.
  • To have the best (and happiest) employees we focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, and health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
  • We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.

Closing Date: May 1, 2024

Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

Ways of Working:
The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office (up to 2-4 days per month or 6-8 days per quarter).  This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building. 
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense. 

Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: 
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
