Corporate Partnerships Manager in Fareham

At Save A Warrior UK, our work is guided by five uncompromising values:

• Service means everything we do starts with the people we serve — Veterans and Emergency Services — and the promise to put their needs first.
• Ruthless Compassion is our commitment to give wholehearted, practical care even when it’s difficult, because lives depend on it.
• Audacious describes our willingness to try bold, creative approaches to healing and fundraising.
• Sacrifice reminds us that we will put mission before comfort.
• Urgency keeps us moving fast — because when someone is at risk, every day counts.

Together, these values shape how we build partnerships: we ask corporate friends to join us not just as funders, but as active co-builders who act with compassion, courage and speed to turn commercial support into life-saving seats on our 72-hour retreats and 500-day programmes.

We are seeking a Corporate Partnerships Manager to join our mission at Save A Warrior UK CIC. Based in Fareham, this hybrid role will allow for a combination of on-site presence and remote work flexibility. Responsibilities include developing and managing corporate partnerships, securing corporate funding, fostering relationships with stakeholders, and creating strategies to improve fundraising efforts. The successful candidate will support the organisation's goals by expanding our network of partnerships and ensuring mutually beneficial collaborations with corporate allies.

• Proficiency in developing and managing Strategic Partnerships to align with organisational goals.
• Capability to balance on-site and remote responsibilities as part of a hybrid work model.
• Passion for mental health advocacy and supporting veterans and first responders.
• Experience in non-profit or charity sectors is a plus.

Products & Commercial Approach:

As Head of Corporate Partnerships, you will own four core income-generating products and be responsible for packaging them into sellable propositions that directly fund our mission. Each product is both a revenue stream and a workplace engagement vehicle.

• Major Stokes Blend (coffee product): A white-label premium roast created with Stokes Tea & Coffee. A share of each bag or subscription sale funds our programme.
• Corporate Partnership: A tiered sponsorship and CSR programme for organisations aligned with our values.
• The Giving Lottery: A low-friction, recurring giving product designed to sit inside partner organisations’ internal communications or payroll giving.
• Community Coworking Space (Fareham): A physical hub providing coworking memberships, meeting space, podcast & content services and wellbeing events.

Your role is to create bundle propositions that combine sponsorship, product volume and employee participation so that corporate spend maps cleanly to seats.

Interview Requirement:

Prepare to present these four products back at the first meeting. Your first meeting with us will be a working interview. Come prepared to present these four products back to the panel and demonstrate how you would sell them as packages.
