About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
About you
As our Senior Philanthropy Manager, New Business, you will be responsible for helping to grow our portfolio, secure new partnerships, and take a leading role on several exciting innovative projects relevant to our audiences.
Reporting into the Transformational Philanthropy Lead, you will play a pivotal role in driving pipeline development and leading groundbreaking projects that resonate with our audiences. You will be able to demonstrate a track record of building relationships with a range of stakeholders; have an interest in learning about new ideas and applying them to our partnerships; and with the resilience and decision-making skills to achieve outcomes at pace.
In this role, day -to- day, you will:
• Collaborate closely with key stakeholders internally and externally to fuel our pipeline growth.
• Take personal responsibility for overseeing a diverse portfolio of donors ranging from six to seven figures, serving as a role model for top-tier account management throughout the donor engagement process.
• Focus on securing multi-year commitments from philanthropists that align with our SCUK and F&M priorities.
• Cultivate and nurture relationships with high-profile donors, showcasing exemplary account management to secure long-term commitments.
• Contribute to essential reporting activities and forecasting exercises to ensure our continued success.
• Foster a positive team culture focused on inclusivity and wellbeing, enhancing our collective morale.
• Stay ahead of industry trends, keeping us aligned with the evolving landscape of philanthropy.
To be successful, it is important that you have:
• Proven experience in client-facing or account management roles, ideally within philanthropy or corporate partnerships.
• A track record of successfully securing grants or contracts, guiding clients through partnership lifecycles.
• Exceptional communication skills, capable of articulating a compelling vision and inspiring others.
• Ability to navigate complex organisational structures and manage competing priorities with finesse.
What we offer you:
• Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.
• To have the best (and happiest) employees we focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, and health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
• We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.

Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
Ways of Working:
The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office (up to 2-4 days per month or 6-8 days per quarter). This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building.
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.

We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
