Our Client is an innovative humanitarian organisation working as a global network to develop, test and spread new ways of collaborating and resourcing locally‑led crisis response and anticipation. With a membership of 130+ NGOs worldwide and a growing set of national and regional hubs, this organisation exists to catalyse system‑level change that improves the efficiency, effectiveness and ethics of humanitarian action.
Reporting to the Head of Resource Mobilisation, the Partnerships Manager will be a pivotal role within the organisation's fundraising function; leading a team of three, managing a portfolio of high‑value private donors while co‑leading the development and delivery of a new business strategy to significantly grow income from trusts & foundations and corporate funders. You'll help shape and deliver ambitious 7‑8 figure funding opportunities, working closely with senior leaders to develop compelling plans, proposals and strategic engagement approaches for major global donors.
The post also plays a key leadership role across priority moments in the calendar, supporting strategic engagement around key global events (including Climate Week activity in London and New York), and ensuring donor visibility and requirements are effectively reflected across cross‑organisational projects and communications.
The successful candidate will bring strong experience in partnerships fundraising and donor stewardship, with a demonstrable track record of securing and managing significant trust/foundation and/or corporate support. You'll be confident leading new business strategy, high‑quality prospecting, and complex relationship management, able to influence senior stakeholders and coordinate activity across teams to deliver ambitious outcomes. You'll also have the credibility to oversee robust budgeting and proposal development for large‑scale bids, and the leadership skills to line‑manage and develop a team in a fast‑moving, values‑led organisation committed to inclusive and ethical practice.
We welcome all candidates to apply, regardless of age, sex/gender, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, marital status or pregnancy/maternity.
