[Hiring] Corporate Partnerships Manager @Cool Earth

Role Description

This is a chance to own and grow a portfolio of corporate partnerships worth around £1 million a year, backing the Indigenous peoples and local communities who are protecting rainforest. You’ll hold established relationships, including global brands, with real autonomy:

• Leading a multi-year renewal with one partner
• Developing an employee engagement idea with another
• Turning a £20,000 relationship into something much broader

It is a genuinely commercial fundraising role, and a strong step up for someone with corporate partnerships management experience who wants more responsibility.

Qualifications

• Experience managing corporate partnerships or accounts, with income responsibility you can evidence
• A track record of renewing, growing or upselling relationships, not just delivering against them
• Confidence with senior stakeholders – you can hold a commercial conversation with a partner’s marketing, sustainability or leadership team
• A real interest in climate, nature and the rights of rainforest communities

Requirements

• Ownership of significant income – a portfolio worth around £1 million a year, and the autonomy to run it
• Senior stakeholder management, negotiation and renewal experience with major brands
• Account planning, forecasting and budget management you can evidence anywhere
• Line management experience, with coaching, clear objectives, honest feedback and industry training behind it
• Exposure to transformational partnership development alongside the Senior Manager

Benefits

• Flexible Working - we work flexible hours with the opportunity to work from home, the office, or even overseas
• Mental Health & Wellbeing - our EAP offers a 24/7 helpline, counselling services, and self-guided mental health programmes for you and your family
• Learning & Development - every employee has a L&D budget, plus organisation-wide workshops and trainings
• Time Off - we offer generous and enhanced time off policies including holiday, sickness, medical and family leave
• Support Good Causes - you can take extra time off work to volunteer for good causes and donate to other charities tax-free through our payroll giving scheme
