Location: Based in London, E1 flexible homeworking available in line with Crisis’ Hybrid Working Policy
This is an exciting time to join us in our High Value fundraising efforts at Crisis. We are in the private phase of a £30m campaign to acquire 100 homes, providing stable housing for people experiencing some of the most severe forms of homelessness. At the same time, we are delivering a bold ten-year strategy that aims to see the beginning of the end of homelessness by 2034.
This campaign is about more than purchasing homes. It's about proving that a different approach is possible, demonstrating how housing can provide lasting stability, influence future policy and practice, and help disrupt the systems that drive homelessness. High Value fundraising will play a central role in making that vision a reality, giving fundraisers the opportunity to build relationships with major donors, trusts and partners around one of the most significant and ambitious areas of Crisis' work.
About the role
We are looking for an ambitious, tenacious new business fundraiser to join our team and win new high-value corporate partnerships that support our housing delivery strategy, the delivery and growth of our Skylight services, and national policy and campaigning work.
As our Senior National New Partnerships Manager, you will be responsible for identifying, cultivating and winning six and seven figure new corporate partnerships across priority sectors. This is a role for a senior new business specialist who thrives on building strong relationships externally and winning big.
You’ll build and convert relationships with major corporate prospects and create compelling commercial, and strategic high-value propositions that are tailored to your prospects’ priorities and strategies. You’ll identify opportunities from high-profile COTY partnerships to strategic collaborations, that unlock value for both corporate partners and Crisis.
This role will work closely with colleagues across Crisis to identify innovative new partnership opportunities, develop and drive forward your sector strategies, influence senior stakeholders, and bring ambitious opportunities to life.
You will be part of a go-getting partnerships team and brand, marketing and fundraising department with ambitious income growth plans. This exciting role is vital to helping us achieve our ambitions.
About you
- An experienced high-value corporate new business fundraiser and relationship builder.
- We’re looking for someone who is a competitive and a self-starter, who can navigate and influence a complex organisation, distil information and package up new high-value propositions at pace.
- Specialist in building and cultivating multiple corporate prospects (from cold) through your pipeline, including COTYs, corporate foundations, strategic partnerships and cause-related marketing.
- Experienced at identifying, pitching and successfully securing six and seven figure corporate partnerships
- Someone who loves building external relationships, always seeking out new opportunities and building networks.
- Strong communication skills, an ability to influence upwards internally and externally, and ability to write succinct, commercially compelling applications, proposals, pitches and vote strategies.
- Commercially savvy, we’re looking for someone who understands their priority sectors and can adapt industry priorities, motivations and funding trends into corporate new business opportunities for Crisis.
- Someone who has experience spotting the partnership opportunities that others may miss and is proactive and solutions-focussed enabling them to turn opportunities into proposals that can be converted into sector-leading partnerships.

However, if you feel you have relevant examples to answer the screening questions, we encourage you to apply.

We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.
Working at Crisis

About the role
We're looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Corporate Partnerships Manager to lead our corporate partnerships and drive the income that powers our work. This is more than a corporate partnerships role—it's your opportunity to lead income generation for a growing national charity. You'll shape our fundraising strategy, influence our future business model and broaden your expertise across corporate partnerships, trusts and grant funding, and organisational growth.
Working closely with the CEO, Senior Finance Manager and colleagues across the organisation, you'll identify and secure new funding opportunities, build strategic partnerships with corporates, trusts and foundations, develop compelling funding propositions, and create sustainable income that enables more children and young people to become active citizens. This role is hands on, managing all elements of the partnership and income process, ensuring the charity builds on our existing income and works with senior leadership to develop new opporutnities.
If you have a track record of securing funding, driving forward a busy pipeline, building senior stakeholder relationships and turning opportunities into sustainable partnerships, we'd love to hear from you.
This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a critical organisational function, broaden your fundraising and business development portfolio, and play a leading role in the growth of an ambitious national charity.
We're looking for someone who brings:
-
Drive that delivers quality results
-
Comfort with intensive and high-volume delivery of memberships, programmes and/or relationships
-
Enthusiasm for problem-solving, in a team and proactively in your role
-
An ability to learn fast and self-teach, from databases to how we communicate internally
-
A desire to develop your skills as a well-rounded member of a social impact organisation
Why Join Us?
This is a high-impact role with real scope to shape how Young Citizens grows its income, partnerships and long-term sustainability. You will work closely with senior leadership, take ownership of a key organisational function, and directly contribute to scaling our impact over the coming years.
You will join a purpose-led, ambitious and collaborative team committed to strengthening democracy by equipping young people with the skills, knowledge and confidence to participate actively in society.
We are a growing, agile organisation with a strong focus on learning and development. We invest in our people and provide real opportunities to build expertise, take ownership and grow alongside the organisation as we scale over the next three years.
We combine a results-driven culture with flexibility in how we work. Our benefits include 28+ days of annual leave (plus 8 bank holidays), volunteering days, office closure over the Christmas period, full pension contributions on the first 8%, and enhanced leave packages.
As a relatively small yet national team, you will have the opportunity to work across the organisation and closely with the CEO, influencing how we improve our programmes, and see the direct impact of your work on our mission.

About Ocean Generation
Ocean Generation is a UNESCO-endorsed Ocean education charity turning Science into Storytelling. We make Ocean Literacy accessible through film, pop-culture, and education programmes that empower practical action. Most people grow up unaware that the Ocean is keeping us all alive: Ocean Generation exists to change that.
Established in 2009 by film producer Jo Ruxton MBE, our award-winning documentary ‘A Plastic Ocean’, was named by Sir David Attenborough as “one of the most important films of our time” and ignited mass public awareness about the impact of plastic pollution. Today, we address a full range of human-made threats impacting the Ocean, with a particular focus on programmes for young people across the world.
Our Ocean Intelligence approach, how we translate complex Ocean science into engaging content through Science and Storytelling, has been endorsed by the Intergovernmental Oceanic Commission of UNESCO as a project under the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
Our vision is a world where society understands, values and acts for the Ocean.
Our mission is to improve Ocean Literacy by translating complex science into engaging content, programmes and practical actions.
