As Head of Partnerships you will:

• Manage and create strategies for pipeline development – thinking analytically and strategically about long term funding opportunities;
• Secure and develop partnerships which allow for a whole-business approach, with bespoke partnership working;
• Act as the account manager for key relationships with a variety of partners, evolving their engagement by identifying new opportunities for support.

The role would best suit:

• An individual with high value fundraising expertise and a track record of securing partnerships from either corporate, trust or foundation sources (including those run by philanthropists);
• Someone with experience of delivering strategic partnerships with a variety of stakeholders;
