Partnerships Development Manager

Prospectus is excited to be supporting Barnardo’s a UK children's charity with their search for two Partnership Development Managers.

Barnardo’s runs over 1,000 UK projects that transform the lives of almost 300,000 children and young people every year. They believe they can bring out the best in every child regardless of the issues they face. Their work supports children living in poverty, children that have been sexually exploited, children living with a disability, children living with domestic violence and young carers who look after an ill parent or relative.    

As the Partnership Development Manager, you will be responsible for nurturing existing and new relationships with potential corporate partnerships to secure new business. Predominantly focusing on partnerships capable of fundraising six to seven-figures, this role will focus on building long lasting partnerships with businesses that reflect and support the varied work Barnardo’s do. Working with a team, this role will collaborate well with others to pitch for new business and create compelling business development plans.

The successful candidate will have proven experience in securing six or seven-figure corporate partnerships for fundraising purposes. This person will need be a confident communicator and have evidence of pitching for new business with both existing and new relationships. Ideally, this person will also be comfortable working both in a team and autonomously at other times.

This role is a full-time permanent position that will have hybrid working between home and one of their office hubs.
