Partnership manager jobs in Cardiff, wales
About the role
UnLtd is a vibrant, ambitious organisation at the heart of the UK’s social enterprise sector. As a key stakeholder and leading funder and supporter of social entrepreneurs, we continuously learn and adapt to better meet their needs and maximise their impact.
We are seeking an Events Manager to lead UnLtd’s event portfolio while our current Events Manager is on maternity leave. This person will be responsible for leading, coordinating and delivering the event plan in line with the organisational strategy. We are looking for a confident event specialist who will be able to support our frontline team to deliver a schedule of events for social entrepreneurs and UnLtd’s wider network.
You will be flexible in your approach and confident managing the whole process from planning through to delivery and event evaluation. The role is primarily hands-on and often involves working as part of, and at times leading, a cross-functional team. This role will suit you if you are patient and keep calm when things don’t go to plan, or when you don’t have all the answers you need. You’ll fall back on your meticulous organisation skills to ensure that UnLtd events are produced efficiently, fulfil their purpose, and are executed to the highest level.
This role may include some travel within the UK and evening work; however, we operate a TOIL system.
We find social entrepreneurs with bold solutions to today's challenges.

Why this role is important – and why you’ll make a difference doing it:
Hope Unlimited exists to support people and organisations working at the grassroots to challenge hate, strengthen relationships and build hope in their communities. Much of the most important work to bring people together happens quietly, locally and without recognition –often led by volunteers, neighbours and community members responding to what’s needed around them.

- Supporting clear, fair and accessible funding processes
- Preparing grant offer letters and agreement
- Ensuring grants support Hope Unlimited’s charitable purpose and meet basic governance requirements
- Improving and evolving our grant-giving and reporting processes, and suggesting changes that make them work better for communities and for Hope Unlimited
Reporting & learning
- Supporting grantees to share what difference the funding has made after 12 months
- Encouraging reporting that works for communities, including written, visual or creative formats
- Helping Hope Unlimited learn from what grantees tell us, particularly about what strengthens community resilience over time
Relationship management
- Being a supportive and approachable point of contact for funded organisations
- Responding to enquiries from grassroots groups who may want to be considered for funding, even where we are not able to accept open applications

You’ll need to bring:
- Experience managing grants, funding decisions or similar processes
- The ability to make thoughtful, fair judgements with limited information
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
- Confidence balancing trust and flexibility with responsibility and accountability
- Clear, kind and accessible written communication
- A strong belief in community-led change and local knowledge
It would also be helpful if you have:
- Experience working alongside small, volunteer-led or informal community groups
- An understanding of issues around community cohesion, division or far-right activity
- Experience with non-traditional or flexible approaches to understanding impact
