About the Partnerships Team

The IWF is a leading child safety organisation handling one of the toughest and most sensitive online harms – child sexual abuse – and the Partnerships Team acts as a bridge between that work and the wider world, connecting mission, funding and momentum. This role is crucial, as it helps support the welfare of the IWF’s front-line expert analysts and provides the means for the IWF to grow and innovate in its efforts to tackle child sexual abuse imagery online.

The Partnerships Team is driven by strategic focus, collaborative skill and mission-driven purpose, and helps the IWF to attract the support it needs to detect, disrupt, remove and prevent the spread of online child sexual abuse material.

As a small, growing team with ambitious fundraising targets and a global reach, we have the potential to expand several income streams, particularly trusts/foundations, government agencies, creative partnerships with corporations and wealth collaboratives.

Given the current challenging economic and philanthropic environment, we are looking for someone to generate new funding opportunities through creative out-of-the-box thinking which will identify and solidify relationships with philanthropists, corporations, global foundations and beyond.

The leading candidate will be able to conceptualise and deliver high quality proposals, projects and evaluation reports, and use their experience and knowledge to develop new ways of securing and nurturing large scale funds and partnerships.

This role will play a big part in helping the organisation to deliver more than £2.5million in funding by the end of 2027.

Candidates will not be required to view criminal images.

This position is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
