Corporate Partnerships - Business Development Executive

Alzheimer’s Research UK is the fastest growing medical research charity in the UK, tackling dementia, the world’s greatest medical challenge. Dementia describes a set of debilitating cognitive symptoms caused by diseases of the brain, most commonly Alzheimer’s. But, like heart disease or cancer, the diseases behind dementia can be delayed, slowed or stopped with the right investment in pioneering research. Our mission is to help bring about the first life-changing treatment by 2025, with an ultimate vision to end the fear, harm and heartbreak of dementia.

We are changing the way people think about dementia through award-winning campaigns #sharetheorange, #santaforgot, and revolutionising research with a world-leading strategy firmly focused on breakthroughs.

Our corporate partners choose Alzheimer’s Research UK because they recognise our pioneering spirit, creativity and our readiness to think and act differently. This approach typifies all of our teams, and our growing Corporate Partnerships Team is no exception, having an unrivalled opportunity to bring the power of influential corporate partners to bear on our greatest medical challenge. We have worked with awesome brands like Google, Dyson, Shazam, Facebook and Brewdog to name a few.
