Proposition Manager

Overview

Skills for Care is entering an exciting new phase. As part of our new corporate strategy, we are strengthening and expanding our commercial offer over the next five years to better support the adult social care sector. We are looking for a commercially minded Proposition Manager who is keen to apply their experience in a purpose-driven organisation and make a real difference to the sector.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong commercial background – whether in commercial proposition development, consulting, or strategy – who is motivated by the opportunity to bring those skills into a charity environment where the impact is tangible.

As Proposition Manager, you'll play a central role in shaping how new ideas become viable, valuable offers for the market. You'll bring structure, commercial thinking and customer insight to decisions about what Skills for Care develops, grows, evolves or stops. Your focus will be on the commercial design of propositions: understanding customer needs, defining value, shaping pricing and commercial models, and building robust business cases.

Working with colleagues across the organisation, you'll help ensure that what we bring to market is commercially viable, clearly positioned, and aligned with customer value and organisational priorities.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of strategy, insight and delivery – turning ideas into clear propositions and helping an organisation make confident, evidence-based decisions about where to invest and grow. If you're excited by the chance to apply your commercial expertise in a charity setting, helping to strengthen and develop the adult social care workforce, we'd be keen to hear from you.
