A fantastic opportunity for someone who has a deep understanding of the UK IFA / Wealth Management market, strong sales and marketing experience and a passion to address climate change. We are a UK registered charity looking for a Partnerships Manager to join our small team

Our campaign, the Global Returns Project was launched in October 2020.

It is a pioneering initiative which has the potential to raise large amounts of money for climate solutions that are proven, scalable and happening now. It enables individuals to give 0.25% of their savings and investments annually to some of the most effective charities tackling the Climate Crisis: to Reinvest in Earth.

Our target market comprises the Mass Affluent and High Net Worth Individuals (people with savings and investments in the $100,000 - $30,000,000 range). This amounts to about 6 million people in the UK.

Although this is a global initiative, we are starting in the UK.  Our campaign is two-fold:

• First is to ask individual savers to Reinvest in Earth, that is to donate 0.25% of their savings to the most effective charities that we have carefully curated, and
• Second, which is how this initiative is going to scale and have the greatest impact, is to get financial advisers to sign up to the Project and roll it out to their clients.

We are looking for someone who has a proven sales record and a thorough understanding of the IFA market.  You will be persuading them that this is something they should be doing for their clients and for the planet.

Here are some of the many reasons why IFAs should be considering this option for their clients:

• Research has shown that if you have savings and investments, giving just £600 to the best climate charities annually is the most effective action an individual can take: up to 100 x more effective than other lifestyle actions such as giving up meat or avoiding air travel for a year;
• Rules are being introduced that require investment advisors to ask about and ensure that they clearly understand their clients’ sustainability preferences;
• Investment in ESG funds and green bonds is growing fast. We believe that a logical extension to an investment portfolio that has divested from fossil fuels and invested in more sustainable companies is one that allocates at least some capital to initiatives with no financial returns, but global benefits;
• Nearly 2/3 of Brits are willing to sacrifice part of their salary to tackle climate change;
• The younger generation who are inheriting wealth from the baby boomers, are more concerned about the Climate Crisis than their parents and grandparents:  37% of millennial investors currently own ESG-related investments and a further 40% are interested in owning these investments.

What we are looking for

A vital part of our ability to accelerate the funding of not-for-profits is to enlist independent financial advisors (IFAs) to offer an add-on service to their clients, enabling them to donate directly out of their portfolios.

You will have a proven track record of selling financial products and services and a deep knowledge of the IFA / Wealth Management market.

You will therefore already have thorough understanding of likely barriers to conversion and how to overcome them as well as a good network of contacts.  You will also be making cold approaches so you will need to able to make compelling pitches and proposals.

You will have skills in lead generation, presenting, relationship-building and conversion.  You will be competent at presenting on Zoom and face-to-face once Covid restrictions allow. You will need to be comfortable with presenting to both small and large audiences.

Once IFAs have signed up, you will also be responsible for managing ongoing relationships.  This will mean liaising with our Communications Manager on marketing and promotion of the IFA partnerships, such as website articles, video testimonials, panel events (for example at COP26), publicity opportunities, and webinars. You will be reporting to two of the Trustees who have their own networks and have started approaching financial institutions over the last few months

In summary, you will have a deep understanding of the independent financial advisor sector – how it operates, how the sector is evolving, how decisions are made and the nature of client relationships.

The role will be well-suited to someone with a significant degree of experience in the sector who is looking for a change of career.

And, of course, you will be someone who is passionate about addressing climate change.

Main duties and responsibilities

Financial Institutions (IFAs and Wealth Managers)

• Lead identification, tracking, and conversion of independent financial advisors, including developing partnerships, and building relationships with key decision-makers;
• Monitoring and evaluating progress on financial institution engagement, specifically with independent financial advisors;
• Monitoring and evaluating take-up of the Global Returns Project by end clients;
• Maintaining and updating relevant marketing materials and presentations;

CRM

• Support on managing company databases, including tracking and managing contact information and regular reporting to the Board of Trustees. Relevant software includes Salesforce, Mailchimp and the website.

• Sophisticated relationship building skills
• Strong presentation and interpersonal skills
• Creativity and effective writing, editing and verbal communication skills

Skills preferred but not required

• Experience in the climate charity sector
• Experience with Mailchimp and Salesforce, or other similar CRM systems
