The Person

We are looking for someone who has experience of:

• grant management, ideally in a charity setting
• managing multi partner/collaborative projects

As Partnerships Manager, you will lead on cultivating and building our organisational approach to maintaining strong relationships with a range of stakeholders, as well as implementing and overseeing the development of key strategic partnerships that further our efforts to achieve systematic change. The relationships you foster and recommendations you help to develop will enable us to strategically direct resources towards activities that have the greatest impact for marginalised young people over the long term, and to transform practice and behaviour where it is most needed. 

You will maintain a laser focus on bringing about positive change in the real world, placing young people and the stakeholders and communities around them, at the heart of what we do. You will be our resident collaborator, able to connect insights gained within and beyond the organisation to create new ways of working and generate lasting solutions in youth employment for the young people who need it most.
