This role will be a key member of the major partnerships team, as it will lead on the delivery and development of the AstraZeneca partnership. Together, Plan Intl UK and AstraZeneca deliver the Young Health Programme across 8 countries, including here in the UK.

This is an exciting opportunity as the partnership is at a critical stage of future development.

• Seek to renew Plan’s partnership with AstraZeneca post-2025, aligning the company’s ESG Strategy with Plan International UK’s values on (health) equity and gender transformative outcomes
• Lead ways of working with the Programme Management Team and Grants Finance to ensure the partnership is highly impactful in its delivery, is on time and within budget
• Build a strong, multi-faceted relationship with contacts across AstraZeneca and internally at Plan International
• Support the leadership of the Corporate Partnerships Team, role modelling and demonstrating excellence in account management

Ideal skills and experience: 

• Experience of managing high value corporate partnerships involving multiple external partners
• Ability to collaborate across and between organisations on complex, fast-paced projects
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• A team player with a collaborative approach
• Able to manage projects and budgets successfully

We are recruiting a Policy and Campaigns Manager to take forward our work on household debt. This role plays a key part in our campaign to end the UK’s household debt crisis.

Over ten million people in the UK are now ‘overindebted’, meaning they are behind on bills or are finding their debt repayments a heavy financial burden. The crisis has been growing over the last decade but has increased dramatically because of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis. More and more people are now borrowing to cover bills and essentials.

Our campaign combines community organising with national level campaigning and advocacy work to bring the voices of those most affected by the debt crisis to the fore in debates on policy solutions. You will use your policy and campaigning expertise to help ensure the people most impacted by problem household debt have a say in influencing the policies that affect them. You will work on issues such as the growth in council tax debt and bailiff use, the huge build up in energy debt as a result of the cost of living crisis and making insolvency policy and practice fairer and more accessible so more people can get out of debt.

You will be a key member of our household debt project team, working alongside the Head of Campaigns, Head of Policy and Advocacy, Digital Campaigner and Lead  Organiser.

We are looking for someone with great policy analysis and advocacy skills, a strong campaigning mindset, and a passion for social justice. We are not expecting you to already be an expert in all aspects of the role or in household debt policy but are looking for someone with the potential to develop quickly. Crucially, you will also need to appreciate why taking a community organising approach and building the power of people affected by debt is important, though you do not need to have experience in community organising.

This role will require some evening and weekend working, though this will be infrequent.

We strongly value diversity and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds. We would particularly like to encourage applications from women and non-binary people, people of colour, people who identify as LGTBQIA+ and people who identify as working class or have done in the past. If you have a question about location or any other aspect of the role, please do get in touch.

JOB PURPOSE
The Strategic and Commercial Partnerships Senior Manager is an exciting new role within Start Network. It will hold responsibility for creating a new function, co-creating a new strategy and growing a small team to drive (non-financial) strategic partnerships for the organisation. It will also explore the possibility of establishing a commercial partnerships function with the Business Development Director.

This role will lead one of our most exciting new areas of work. They will help Start Network manage current strategic partners (such as ARC who we partner with for insurance in Africa), but also establish connections with new potential partners globally (particularly in the areas of system change, digital, humanitarian insurance, AI, etc). These new partners will maximise the impact of our work, enhance our ability to influence system change or simply engage in the exchange of knowledge around our innovation ambition. The candidate will first build a clear understanding of all our strategic partnerships across the organisation; find ways with Heads/Managers of teams to maximise them (focusing on strategic impact and effective collaboration); and finally implement a plan to scope further partners globally in line with Start Network’s strategy and gaps. 

Our hope is that after 12 months we will have set up a new function which will nurture and maximise current strategic partners for the benefit of system change globally, as well as having a clear understanding of gaps for future partnerships. This role will then continue to look for new, high impact relationships globally that can support the internal operations of the organisation and our members and hubs and advance our strategic aims. Beyond this, they will have explored potential commercial partnerships for Start Network in the short to medium term.

The successful candidate will have a proven track record of developing and managing successful partnerships globally, a strategic mindset, and the ability to think creatively to identify new opportunities. Further, it will require commercial experience, understanding of building social
enterprises / building for-profit arms of charities.

Work with us to shift our mindset as an organisation, moving from primarily receiving income from public sector bodies to proactively seeking funding from a wide variety of organisations.  We want you to develop an income generation strategy and plan to enable IRISi to have a sustainable business model harnessing our existing knowledge assets and skills.

By the end of this project, we would like the following: 

• an understanding of new potential customers and funders for IRISi and our value proposition to them 

• an income generation strategy and plan. 

We’re open to consultant suggestions regarding what shape this work might take. But to give an idea, we would be looking for things like:

• Horizon scanning to identify income generation opportunities 

• Cultivating relationships with potential customers and funders 

• Research about short-term income generation opportunities (3-6 months) 

• Testing value propositions with target audiences 

• Recommendations of where we should be focussing our income generation efforts and targets for each income stream 

• A generic case for support, which can be repurposed for a variety of funders.

• Facilitation of workshops with staff members and potentially board members to surface existing ideas to generate income and barriers to implementation 

Skills and experience 

Essential
