Are you a dynamic self-starter with a passion for purpose and a drive for high-impact work?
This is a unique opportunity to step into a sales-focused role within an internationally respected organisation that sits at the intersection of social good and corporate responsibility. You will be engaging with HR and L&D teams at major global companies — building partnerships that support leadership, diversity, and sustainability initiatives.
This isn’t traditional fundraising — it’s strategic, consultative business development with international exposure. It’s ideal for someone with a background in charity partnerships or sales who wants to transition towards the corporate CSR arena while remaining rooted in purpose-driven work.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Driving new business: pitching, negotiating, and winning corporate partnerships.
- Managing key accounts: building lasting relationships with global brands.
- Collaborating with a vibrant, international team to help shape a dynamic internal culture.
- Travelling to global conferences and events to represent the organisation.
What You’ll Need to Succeed:
- A proven track record in business development, sales, or corporate partnerships.
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with the confidence to engage with senior stakeholders.
- Commercial acumen and the ability to think strategically about long-term partnerships.
- A good understanding of HR, Learning & Development, Diversity & Inclusion, or sustainability.
- A self-motivated, entrepreneurial spirit and a results-driven mindset.
- The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, international environment.
- A readiness to pick up the phone and chase new opportunities.
- Familiarity with tools such as Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or similar CRM systems would be an advantage.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Work with a smart, international, young team that’s redefining impact.
- Enjoy a four-day working week with Flexible Fridays.
- Benefit from a two-week Christmas closure.
- Work from a central London office with social perks and regular team celebrations.
- Gain hands-on experience with global partners and high-profile leadership initiatives.
If you have the energy, confidence, and commercial mindset to make things happen, and aren’t afraid to pick up the phone and pitch with purpose — this could be your perfect next move.
