About the Role: GardenOfLove is a UK-based platform connecting individuals, verified charities, and businesses through giving, volunteering, and community. We're looking for a Partnerships & Business Development Manager to help us grow and manage those relationships as we expand across the charity, university, and corporate sectors.
This is a hands-on, relationship-driven role for someone comfortable moving between long-term trust-building and direct commercial conversations, often in the same week.
What You'll Be Doing
- Charity partnerships: identifying, approaching, and onboarding verified UK charities onto the platform, and maintaining strong ongoing relationships with them.
- University partnerships: leading outreach to universities for student wellbeing initiatives, campus Gardens, and pilot programmes.
- Corporate Gardens sales: managing the full sales process for our B2B CSR product, from first outreach through to signed, onboarded corporate clients.
- Sector networking: representing GardenOfLove at relevant events and conferences across the charity and corporate sectors.
- General business development: identifying new partnership opportunities, including with media, incubators, and adjacent organisations, and helping shape how we approach them.
What We're Looking For
- Experience in a partnerships, business development, or corporate fundraising role, ideally with some exposure to the charity or nonprofit sector.
- Comfort with both relationship-led conversations and direct commercial pitching.
- Strong written and verbal communication — you'll often be representing our voice directly to charities, universities, and companies.
- Genuine curiosity about, and comfort with, the mission behind the platform — this matters more to us than a perfect CV.
Before You Apply: We'd encourage you to explore our website and try the app yourself before applying. We'll ask about your experience with it directly at interview — genuine engagement will come through, and that matters to us more than a generic cover letter.
Compensation: Competitive salary, dependent on experience, plus standard benefits.
Why This Role Matters: This isn't just another platform with a mission statement attached. Kindness staying free, verification-first trust, and community-driven giving are structural choices we've built the business around, not marketing lines. If that's a philosophy you'd genuinely want to represent, not just describe, we'd love to hear from you.
Before applying, please explore our website and try the app yourself. We'll ask about your experience with it directly in the interview, so in place of a generic cover letter, include a short note on what stood out to you about the platform.
