London, Greater London, United Kingdom Variety, the children's charity Full time

Variety, the Children's Charity, seeks an experienced Corporate Partnerships Manager to develop and deliver our corporate partnerships portfolio and secure new, high-value partnerships – could it be you?  Our corporate supporters are key to achieving our mission to fund life-changing practical support to disabled and disadvantaged children and young people across the UK. You will be joining the charity at a very exciting time as we launch a three-year strategy to drive ambitious growth and develop sector-leading partnerships.

Based in our head office in London, you will play a key role in our fundraising team, working alongside the CEO and Director of Fundraising and Communications to develop corporate leads from our high-profile events and supporters, grow our existing partnerships and drive corporate engagement to achieve our goals. 

In the UK, there are more than 1.3 million disabled children and nearly four million children living in poverty. Variety exists to improve their lives. We believe every child has a right to live their best life and reach their full potential, whoever they are. We fund and deliver life-changing programmes that enhance their quality of life and give children and young people across the UK a better future.

Over the past 75 years we have supported over one million children by funding almost 6,000 Sunshine Coaches, almost the same number of wheelchairs, and giving thousands of grants to individual children, schools, youth clubs and other organisations for specialist equipment. Variety is also involved with a number of capital projects which transform the facilities of hospitals and SEN schools. In addition, each year tens of thousands of children take part in day trips, special events and educational activities as part of our Variety Great Days Out programme and every single day we are improving more young lives. We do it with practical, tangible help. Help that makes a real and immediate difference.

We're not content to rest on our laurels – we have recently completed a leadership transition that will provide the strategic and operational foundation for the charity to be more effective than ever. We plan to double our income in the next three years and grow our support for children and young people across the UK.

Here are some of key responsibilities of the role although a full brief and job description is available on request:

 ●  Account management of a portfolio of corporate partnerships, delivering first class stewardship to meet income targets and agreed KPI's, increasing engagement to deliver maximum potential for Variety

●  Management of the new business pipeline and new business approaches, developing leads and identifying prospects, engaging them with our work to grow the partnerships portfolio

●  Create comprehensive partnership delivery plans including fundraising, communications, finance, impact reporting with partnership key messaging

●   Write and deliver bespoke propositions, proposals and pitches for new business development meeting agreed KPI's

In return we are looking for someone that has the following attributes and experience:


•   Experience of managing multiple, large corporate partnerships


•   Experience of managing a variety of different types of partnerships (e.g. employee fundraising, transactional, programme focussed partnerships, corporate foundations, etc)


•   Experience of new business development and securing new partnerships
