Head of Corporate Development & Strategic Partnerships

Build and maintain acquisition pipelines across the Cemetery we are reshaping and building a modern, end-to-end platform that supports families through every stage of need: wills, funeral plans, funerals, probate, cremations, burials, and memorialisation. We are moving from transactional interactions to trusted, lifelong relationships, using data, technology, service design and brilliant people to create a simpler, more human experience at scale. We are at a defining moment in our history. A strategic reset, stronger foundations, and new leadership have created real momentum and, with it, a genuine opportunity not just to transform Dignity but to set a new standard for the whole sector. The funeral industry has historically moved slowly. We are changing that. This is a business with the scale to matter, the ambition to lead, and the courage to challenge how things have always been done. The direction is set. The platform is being built. What we need now are the leaders to drive it forward. For exceptional leaders, that creates a rare opportunity: the chance to build something of genuine significance, to shape the future of an industry that touches every family in Britain, and to do work that is both commercially meaningful and deeply purposeful. Very few roles offer that combination. Fewer still offer it at this scale. We move with pace and intent. The people here care about getting it right for families, for each other, and for the long term. If you want to lead in an environment where quality of thinking is valued, where decisions get made, and where your contribution has a visible impact, this is that place. FCA Statement Dignity is part of a group that includes FCA-regulated activities, and some roles may be subject to relevant training, screening, conduct, and regulatory requirements. This will be confirmed as part of the recruitment process. Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Statement Our vision is to connect with our clients, colleagues, company, and communities based on our principles whilst celebrating our differences. We aim to empower leaders and colleagues to seek out and understand new voices and perspectives; to be vocal about inequity and exclusion, and to take decisive, informed, and bold action to promote inclusion and belonging.
