Senior Business Development & Partnerships Officer

Charity People is working with The Suzy Lamplugh Trust to find a new Senior Business Development and Partnerships Officer to join their excellent fundraising team.

The Suzy Lamplugh Trust was born out of the tragic story of Suzy Lamplugh, a 25-year-old estate agent who went missing whilst at work in 1986, was never found, and was eventually declared deceased in 1993. The Trust was set up in Suzy's name to empower individuals and organisations to make a stand against all forms of abuse, aggression, and violence, across their personal and professional lives.

They are a rapidly growing charity that delivers high value impact to its beneficiaries, through its legacy, integrity, and credibility. They have educated millions of lone and frontline workers across all sectors for over three and half decades, and campaigned heavily to drive changes in the law, as well as having supported over 75,000 victims and survivors of stalking since the inception of its National Stalking Helpline service in 2010.

The Suzy Lamplugh Trust is UK's founding personal safety charity and leading stalking authority, and has always had the objective of tackling violence against women and girls at the core of what it does.

The role is full time with a salary of £32,500 p.a. and comes with a packed benefits package, including:

• Hybrid working (40% in the office) and Flexitime Policy
• 28 days annual leave (increases after 3 and 5 years to a maximum of 33 days pro rata) + public holidays.
• Pension scheme with 5% employer contribution.
• Health & Wellbeing App with access to advice, counselling, legal support, and a wide range of discounts.
• Occupational Sick Pay (which increases after 3 years).
• Interest-free travel loan for annual season ticket.
• Regular all-staff off-site meetings and events.

The Role

The primary purpose of this role is to generate vital income for their work in making a society in which people are safer and feel safer. This will be achieved through sales of Suzy Lamplugh Trust products, including training courses, consultancy exercises, web-based provisions, and resources to reach income and expenditure targets. The role will be required to work alongside key colleagues and teams to develop and implement an integrated marketing strategy for Suzy Lamplugh Trust products, as well as look to continuously improve and enhance products and services.

Candidates should have a broad understanding of the role corporate partnerships play in advancing strategic objectives of charities, and in particular demonstrate excellent sales and business development skills around products and offers. They are looking for someone creative, proactive, and collaborative who can take their training and consultancy packages to new audiences and really extend the impact of the charity's work. The postholder will be required to liaise with senior leaders and the wider commercial team on the progress of sales against budget and contribute to addressing challenges in a solution-oriented manner, while providing analysis of sales leads, and income and expenditure forecasts.
