The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) seeks an exceptional candidate for the role of Philanthropy & Partnerships Manager. They will lead all DEC Philanthropy and Partnerships activity, encompassing corporate partnerships, major donors and trusts both in and out of appeal, to help ensure that maximum income is received for the world’s worst humanitarian crises. The majority of day to day work and focus is in the corporate partnerships space and, after a recent review, the DEC will be rolling out a new partnerships framework in the coming months. As such, it is a very exciting time for this new manager to be joining the organisation to steward and build on our existing £multi-million partnerships portfolio while also helping to take DEC appeals to new heights. In future years, we will be undertaking a similar review exploring and expanding our high value philanthropy offer and programme. The successful candidate will be the key member of staff leading this review.

About the DEC
The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is a unique and dynamic membership organisation which comprises 14 of the UK’s leading humanitarian agencies: ActionAid, Action Against Hunger, Age International, British Red Cross, CAFOD, CARE International, Christian Aid, Concern Worldwide (UK), Islamic Relief Worldwide, Oxfam, Plan International UK, Save the Children, Tearfund and World Vision.
Since it was founded in 1963, the DEC has run over 70 fundraising appeals and raised more than £1.4bn to help save lives and protect livelihoods in disaster-affected communities around the world.
The DEC launches appeals when there is a humanitarian emergency of such magnitude to warrant a national UK response. DEC fundraising appeals benefit from unique corporate partnerships through our Rapid Response Network and the combined expertise of our member agencies, resulting in wide reaching appeals across high profile TV, radio and an increasing number of digital channels.
The majority of DEC funds are raised over an intensive two-week period following a disaster.
