Sands is the leading stillbirth and neonatal death charity and exists to reduce the number of babies dying and to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth.
We are recruiting a Strategic Partnerships Manager to lead on developing and managing high value and strategic commercial and non-commercial partnerships to further Sands’ core aims.
In this high-profile and exciting role, you will work closely with colleagues to drive forward inspiring new partnerships that will motivate public fundraising and increase brand profile, and connect senior stakeholders to elevate key relationships and lifetime value of each partnership.
The role will also oversee our significant portfolio of national and regional corporate partnerships. You will therefore need to have significant experience of high level account management.
Innovation and creativity will be required to implement high value stewardship plans, engaging employees at every level of the business as well as recognising digital opportunities to meet our ambitious fundraising targets.
A persuasive fundraiser, you will have excellent interpersonal and relationship development skills with a proven track record of developing new, high value relationships across the corporate sector.
You will therefore be highly organised and be able to cope with demanding situations and work to tight deadlines.
With a real aptitude for partnership development, complex negotiation, and excellent business acumen, you will be able to work collaboratively across the organisation in order to identify funding opportunities and monetise Sands’ consultancy and training products.
You will have experience of providing inspiring leadership to a small team, and be able to provide appropriate development opportunities to the members of your team.
