Partnerships Officer

Harris Hill is delighted to be supporting a well-established social welfare charity in London with the recruitment of a Partnerships Officer.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a stable, high-performing fundraising team with exceptional staff longevity. The person previously in this role was in post for 10 years, and the line manager has been with the organisation for 9 years — a real testament to the culture, leadership and support on offer.

The Partnerships Officer will manage a successful corporate portfolio worth c.£400k, made up of a strong mix of long-standing partners and new business. Corporate fundraising is the organisation’s largest income stream, with events as a key secondary driver, meaning this role sits at the heart of future income growth.

Alongside stewarding existing partnerships, there is a particular opportunity to develop new corporate relationships locally, where there is significant untapped potential. Partnerships span a range of models, offering variety, creativity and scope to build meaningful, long-term relationships.

This role would suit a Corporate Fundraising Assistant looking to step up, or someone keen to take on a larger, more strategic portfolio while remaining hands-on with delivery and relationship management.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing and growing an established portfolio of corporate partners

• Developing new business, with a focus on local corporate opportunities

• Building strong, long-term relationships across a mix of partnership types

• Supporting corporate-led events and wider community fundraising activity

• Working closely with fundraising and communications colleagues

• Accurately recording activity and income using a CRM

The organisation is based on a beautiful site between Teddington and Hampton Wick, offering a genuinely lovely working environment.

The team typically works 2–3 days per week in the office, with Tuesday as the anchor team day, and the remainder working from home.

You’ll bring:

• Experience in corporate fundraising or partnerships

• A track record of managing relationships and delivering income

• Strong communication and organisational skills

• A proactive, collaborative and relationship-led approach

Experience of community fundraising and events would be welcome but is not essential.
