Fixed Term (12-13 months)

Full time- 35 hours a week

The Prince's Trust is a youth charity that helps change young lives. We give practical and financial support, developing key workplace skills, such as confidence and motivation. We work with 11 to 30-year-olds who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law. We have helped more than 825,000 young people since 1976 and support 100 more each working day. More than three in four young people we helped last year moved into work, education or training. We are committed to equality and valuing diversity.

In this varied role, you will be responsible for securing a range of high value strategic national corporate partnerships across a broad range of sectors.

You will have a personal income target of GBP 500k+. You will be focusing on securing income from all available streams, including core donations, sponsorship, cause-related marketing and employee fundraising. You will develop pitches and proposals reporting into the Head of Business Development.

You will have direct experience of securing new partnerships and winning charity of the year pitches. You will have an understanding of the corporate responsibility agenda and the ability to think strategically to create opportunities.

You will need excellent relationship management skills and the ability to relate to people at all levels within our partner organisations, as well as within The Prince's Trust (notably liaising with Philanthropy and Foundations colleagues for financial services). The ability to leverage senior business volunteers and cultivate relationships and steward long-term results will be key.

You will be organised and a strong project manager, confident in solving problems, managing a busy workload and securing financial targets.
