Corporate Partnerships Manager

Are you an excellent relationship manager that loves fundraising? Do you have a track record of cultivating and managing effective partnerships that deliver mutual benefit and financial value? Can you influence and build strong connections with a range of audiences?

… if so, you could be the Corporate Partnerships Manager we are looking for to join our award-winning team!

In this role you’ll manage a portfolio of corporate partnerships including a large, strategic partnership, that will raise significant funds (1m+) for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) whilst delivering wider value for the organisation and our partners.

You’ll be responsible for building brilliant relationships across the partnership portfolio and leveraging these to develop and deliver fundraising activity. You will devise and deliver strategic growth plans, utilising support and expertise from across the organisation to support your partnership goals, progress, and impact.

This is a 2-year fixed term contract from start date. Start date is ASAP. This is a hybrid role, where your work will be split between your home, our London office, and your corporate partner locations. This is a fundraising role where travel is expected to partner locations for meetings and events. On average, you’ll spend at least one day per week in the office, with around one additional partner‑site visit each week.

This may vary from time to time, so you will need to work in a flexible way to unlock your best work for our cause.

As our ideal candidate, you bring experience working across a variety of corporate partnerships which could include strategic, commercial, and charity of the year opportunities, as well as proven experience in managing cross‑organisational projects, preferably with a focus on income generation. A self‑starter with initiative and drive, you have a broad knowledge of corporate fundraising, experience of relationship management, and a proven track record of delivering actionable plans efficiently and effectively.

We celebrate and value the diversity of the communities we serve, recognising that embracing different perspectives and backgrounds strengthens our organisation and drives innovation. By fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels respected and supported, we are better equipped to achieve our mission of helping people have a healthier heart for longer.
