We’re looking for a confident and ambitious Senior Corporate Development Manager to lead the cultivation and stewardship of high-value, strategic relationships with corporate funders. This is a pivotal role focused on new business acquisition, driving forward our corporate fundraising strategy and unlocking transformational income to support marine conservation.
You will play a key role in growing our current corporate income of £1millon, with a strong emphasis on securing multi-year partnerships and cultivating opportunities for future growth. If you’re a strategic thinker with a proven track record in securing six and seven-figure corporate gifts, and you thrive in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment, we’d love to hear from you.
What you’ll do
- Lead on the development and delivery of a new business strategy to secure long-term, high-value corporate partnerships.
- Identify and research prospective partners, develop tailored proposals, and lead pitch presentations.
- Line manage and mentor the Corporate Partnerships Officer, supporting their professional development and performance.
- Collaborate closely with Corporate Partnership Managers to ensure seamless transition from account acquisition to stewardship.
- Represent the organisation externally, building relationships with senior stakeholders across sectors.
- Monitor and report on new business pipelines, KPIs, and income targets.
Why join us?
- You'll be part of a passionate, friendly and forward-thinking team.
- Your work will directly help obtain the required corporate funding to achieve our overall aims and objectives.
- We’re flexible, inclusive and committed to learning and growing together.
- We believe in evidence, action and people-powered change.
We’ve also got other ways to value your contribution:
- Annual leave starting at 25 days a year, plus Bank Holidays, and increasing with service (we also close between Christmas and New Year as extra time off)
- 8% employer contributions to our stakeholder pension scheme
- Sick pay at full pay for 8 weeks, then 8 weeks at half pay (after probation ends)
- Great work life balance through flexible and, in many cases, remote working
- Support for your health and wellbeing with a programme of activities plus an employee assistance programme for you and the people who live with you
- A paid day for you to volunteer to support another charity of your choice
