Harris Hill is delighted to be supporting a well-established social welfare charity in London with the recruitment of a Partnerships Officer. This is a brilliant opportunity to join a stable, high-performing fundraising team with exceptional staff longevity. The person previously in this role was in post for 10 years, and the line manager has been with the organisation for 9 years — a real testament to the culture, leadership and support on offer.
The Partnerships Officer will manage a successful corporate portfolio worth c.£400k, made up of a strong mix of long-standing partners and new business. Corporate fundraising is the organisation’s largest income stream, with events as a key secondary driver, meaning this role sits at the heart of future income growth. Alongside stewarding existing partnerships, there is a particular opportunity to develop new corporate relationships locally, where there is significant untapped potential. Partnerships span a range of models, offering variety, creativity and scope to build meaningful, long-term relationships.
This role would suit a Corporate Fundraising Assistant looking to step up, or someone keen to take on a larger, more strategic portfolio while remaining hands-on with delivery and relationship management.
Key responsibilities include:
- Managing and growing an established portfolio of corporate partners
- Developing new business, with a focus on local corporate opportunities
- Building strong, long-term relationships across a mix of partnership types
- Supporting corporate-led events and wider community fundraising activity
- Working closely with fundraising and communications colleagues
- Accurately recording activity and income using a CRM
The organisation is based on a beautiful site between Teddington and Hampton Wick, offering a genuinely lovely working environment. The team typically works 2-3 days per week in the office, with Tuesday as the anchor team day, and the remainder working from home.
You’ll bring:
- Experience in corporate fundraising or partnerships
- A track record of managing relationships and delivering income
- Strong communication and organisational skills
- A proactive, collaborative and relationship-led approach
- Experience of community fundraising and events would be welcome but is not essential.
Harris Hill is committed to high and ever-improving standards of equitable and inclusive recruitment. We actively welcome applications from all sections of the community regardless of age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexuality and other protected characteristics.
