Charity People are so pleased to be working with an amazing homelessness charity, who are looking for their new Senior Corporate Development Officer to deliver the organisation's corporate development strategy.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be a key contributor in developing new and existing partnerships for a leading social welfare charity for a worthwhile cause. You will also project manage specific income streams, including challenge events and payroll giving. Working closely with the wider team of the organisation, you will develop and produce approaches that meet the organisation's corporate needs and expectations to maximise income.

The ideal person will have comprehensive knowledge of corporate fundraising, as well as using donor management software. You will have excellent organisation, communication and attention to detail, as well as have good negotiation and communication skills.

If you would like to find out more about this role, please contact Alice at Charity People.

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.

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.

TPP is currently recruiting for a Corporate Account Manager for a leading youth charity which supports the most disadvantaged young people in the UK. The role is permanent, paying between £35k - £38k and based in Central London.

This is an exciting role focused mainly on account management whereby you will manage and grow income with existing partnerships. The charity enjoys a variety of partnerships with the likes of McDonald's and WHSmith to large multinationals including the Big 4 international accountancy companies. You will be a key player in ensuring each account receives the best stewardship in order to maximise income. While the role is 80% account management, you will be expected to work on some new business initiatives.

To be successful in this role you will have fundraising experience in the context of managing charity-corporate relationships. From this you will have a good track record of developing income. You will also have good CSR knowledge and charity law or fundraising regulation. To add further, you will be a confident individual or "go getter" who is able to influence multiple stakeholders. Finally, you will have a creative and entrepreneurial flare.

The organisation has various benefits, including competitive salary, 39 days holiday (including 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays and the Christmas - New Year close), 8% pension contribution, season ticket travel loans, discounted gym membership, dental plans and health assessments.

Closing date - 27th Feb

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
- Pension (8% employer contribution)
- A generous annual leave allowance totalling 39 days per annum (including Bank Holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year)
- Cycle to work scheme
- Season ticket loans

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.

We believe that the ability to communicate is a fundamental right and that society will only be fair when everyone has the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills they need to fulfil their potential.

So, if you want to build on your experience, take on a high-profile role within our organisation and help give children and young people from disadvantaged communities the literacy skills to succeed in life, we want to hear from you. 

The Role

As the Corporate Partnerships Manager, you will work with our wide range of corporate partners, providing a high level of stewardship to grow and develop existing relationships and secure income to support our work. There will also be an element of new business development. 

Long-term partnerships are vital to our sustainability and our current partners include high street brands such as McDonalds and WHSmith, and large multinationals such as Lancôme, KPMG and PwC.

Reporting to the Head of Partnerships, you will:

- 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
- Research, write and present funding bids, proposals and documentation 
- Ensure that all necessary due diligence is carried out

About You

To join us as the Corporate Partnerships Manager, you will need experience of:

- Managing and developing relationships in the corporate sector
- Generating income, specifically from the corporate sector
- Working in, or with, the voluntary sector
- Corporate social responsibility and fundraising

You’ll also need to be confident and articulate in both pitching and negotiation, and able to think quickly and creatively in high pressure situations. 

Ideally, you will have experience in event management and/or marketing, but this is not essential. Experience of working with, or generating, income for education projects would also be beneficial.

Other organisations may call this role Partnerships Manager, Partnership Development Manager, Relationship Development Manager, Income Development Manager, or Fundraising Partnerships Manager.

This is a full-time role, working 35 hours per week.

The closing date for this role is the 6th March 2020. 

Please note: we may close this vacancy early if we receive enough applications to shortlist and fill the position faster than originally anticipated, so please submit your application as soon as you can.
