Eden Brown is proudly working with a high profile and much-loved disability charity to help them recruit a New Partnerships Manager to be based at their Central London HQ. This is a full-time position with one day per week working from home.

The New Partnerships Manager will have responsibility for generating new business income from a range of corporate sectors.

Main duties include:

- identify and secure new corporate income by developing relationships and devising mutually beneficial partnerships
- develop and present creative and engaging new business proposals and pitches for corporate prospects
- proactively cold calling corporate prospects, securing and attending meetings
- research competitor activity, corporate prospects, and business sectors to leverage new business opportunities and keep up to date on business trends
- regularly identify and attend business networking events

This role would suit someone with experience and proven track record of solutions-based fundraising, business development, and account management, experience of developing new business by researching new leads, making cold calls to potential partners, face-to-face meetings, client-facing presentations etc as well as knowledge of the UK corporate sector, significant level of commercial awareness and the opportunities that this presents.

Eden Brown is committed to equality in the workplace and is an equal opportunity employer. Eden Brown Ltd is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.

A really interesting role which is able to both build on a successful existing programme (regional corporate), and develop a brand new section of the team from scratch (national corporate). The regional work will follow the model this charity has on the philanthropy side which works with fundraisers in their nation-wide regional hubs, to coach and develop them in maximising their local relationships. The central team will be to provide more experience and advice in order to support the regional teams to deliver top-notch account management and new business.

At the same time, the CPM will be developing a national partnerships programme. They have had prior success (including a £multi-million partnership), a big household name and fundable products, so there is plenty of scope for this to take off. A consultant has already reviewed and so the initial research work into types of partnership and strategy is sketched out, ready for someone to come and start building the pipeline.

It offers a unique mix to make a national programme your own and develop almost from scratch (but with an excellent track record behind you), as well as being able to develop an existing portfolio at the same time. A great role for professional development.

An excellent role for an ambitious fundraiser looking to gain experience across a range of trusts, foundations, corporate and major donor streams.

Bowel Cancer UK is the UK’s leading bowel cancer charity. It supports and funds targeted research, provides expert information and support to patients and their families, and campaigns for early diagnosis and access to best treatment and care.

Following a successful merger in 2018 and development of a new organisational strategy, Bowel Cancer UK is planning to significantly grow their income over the next five years, so they can scale up current projects to help dramatically improve survival rates of this disease.

Over the last few years, the trust and statutory programme has seen significant growth from more diverse and multi-year funders, thanks to the development of new projects and the team working creatively with funders.

Bowel Cancer UK want to grow their trust income from £600k in 2020 to over £1.1m in 2022, by strategically engaging new funders and developing current funder relationships.

Alongside this, they are developing and rolling out a burgeoning major donor programme, and the successful candidate will help build a focused portfolio for this income stream.

This role sits within the philanthropy and partnerships team, consisting of the Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships, Philanthropy Manager, Senior Corporate Partnerships Executive and Senior Philanthropy Officer.

Job specification

Bowel Cancer UK needs a Philanthropy and Partnerships Officer to:

• be a vital, active participant in their ambitious planned income growth from trusts, foundations, major donors and corporate sources
• push the current prospect research function from ‘desk research’ towards re-engagement, engagement and results, supporting the whole team
• work to a time split of 10% administrative duties, 50% trust, 30% corporate and 10% major donor (although this is fluid and may change depending on the candidate’s successes and preference)
• drive the strategic engagement of new trust funders who give under £5k
• work with the research, services, policy & campaigns team to help evolve and grow their project portfolio

Person specification

The position would best suit:

• a passionate fundraiser, looking to take the next step in the career, learning from a strong team of fundraisers across multiple income streams
• an excellent relationship builder, motivated by maintaining strong links with an established portfolio of donors as well as generating new income by engaging new funders
• a fundraiser with excellent attention to detail and experience of data base management

Deadline for applications is 17:00 on Wednesday 11 March, but strong applicants will be interviewed before the closing date, so do not delay in applying.

Are you looking to work in fundraising? Or are you relatively new to fundraising and looking to develop your skills? 

Do you want to make a difference for some of the most marginalised children and young adults in the UK?

We are looking for an enthusiastic and talented team player to join our award-winning Fundraising team and help us to achieve our goals through supporting our Events and corporate team. You will work across both challenge and special events as well as support the corporate fundraising team by supporting on key partnerships. This is a fantastic role for someone looking to get a full breath of events and partnerships.  

Some of the key duties for this role are outlined below:

• To deliver the third-party challenge events programme and assist in delivering year on year growth
• To support the Head of Partnerships with corporate partnerships

Ambitious about Autism is the national charity for children and young people with autism. We provide services, raise awareness and understanding, and influence policy. We exist to enable children and young people with autism to learn, thrive and achieve through providing specialist education. This is an exciting time to be joining this ambitious and experienced fundraising team. You will have the opportunity to develop your trust fundraising skills while working to research, identify and implement new income opportunities from trusts and foundations as well as helping to secure revenue funds to support our innovative and influential work.

If you are keen to find out more or would like to speak in more detail about the role, please do get in touch with Stephen Vickers.

 Ambitious about Autism is fully committed to equality of opportunity and diversity and we warmly welcome applications from all suitably-qualified candidates. We welcome applications regardless of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity, disability, or age. All applications will be considered solely on merit.

This role will take over a fledgling corporate partnerships programme and prospect list, securing partnerships for super interesting and emotive projects, including accessible sport, 121 child assessments, family work, group sensory projects and family respite trips.

The partnerships fit a broad variety of CSR aims and can be developed into a range of partnership types, so there is a lot of scope to be both creative, and to speak to a range of different industries. So far they have a modest portfolio of grants, employee fundraising and volunteering partnerships which will require light-touch account management (and some potential growth in a couple), although the main focus initially will certainly be new business. There is no line management at present, but there is growth planned so this role would end up being a team leader position as the income grows.

The hiring manager is more than happy to have chats or coffees with interested candidates as a first stage if that is preferable.

Corporate Partnerships Manager
London, SW

About Us

The National Literacy Trust is a national charity dedicated to raising literacy levels in the UK. One person in six in the UK has poor literacy skills that impact on every area of their life. A child without good reading, writing and communication skills can’t succeed at school, and as an adult they could be locked out of the job market. Poverty doubles the likelihood that, by the age of five, a child’s literacy skills will be below average.

We are now looking for a Corporate Partnerships Manager to join our team and ensure continued strong relationships with our partners.

The Benefits

- Salary of £35,500 - £38,000 per annum

If you have experience in the voluntary sector, specifically with developing corporate relationships and generating income, this is a fantastic opportunity to join an organisation that is transforming lives through literacy.

- Develop existing partnerships and secure incremental income 
- Meet agreed income, cost efficiency and profitability targets
- Secure new business through market and prospect research, networking, identifying and responding to leads and working closely with colleagues across the organisation
