Do you want to help shape a sustainable future for people and our planet by driving real, systemic change?  If so, an opportunity has arisen to join Partners for a New Economy (P4NE) as our Partnership Development Lead and play a pivotal role in transforming the economy so it serves people and nature.

Partners for a New Economy is an international philanthropic fund focused on transforming our economy for nature and all people to flourish. We were founded in 2015 by, a group of environmental funders who  wanted to challenge and fix the root causes of environmental degradation that lie within our economic system.  Since then, we have worked globally with innovative thinkers, organisations, and movements to reimagine and redesign economic systems to create a paradigm shift.  Our grant-making has a strong nature lens, nurturing new economic ideas and building power for transformative, systemic change.

As the Partnership Development Lead, you will be instrumental in driving efforts to expand our network of funders and partners, and help to double our income and enable our grantees to achieve much, much more.  A commitment to our cause will drive you, as you   proactively research and identify potential Funder Partners, and work with the team to design and deliver engagement and cultivation strategies to secure their support.  It will therefore be important that you are a self-starter with a collaborative and entrepreneurial spirit, and you bring a track record in securing philanthropic income, ideally at the 6-figure level or more.  Your strong relationship building skills and can-do attitude will underpin your success in our small and resourceful team.  It will also be important for you to be able to work in the detail without losing sight of the bigger ambition, and be comfortable with navigating new or ambiguous areas with a solutions-orientated mindset.   

Although location is flexible, availability during European working hours is essential, as other staff are based in London, Copenhagen and Geneva.
