The Smart Works service is delivered in London, Manchester, Stockport, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Newcastle, Reading and Leeds. Over the past eleven years, Smart Works has helped over 40,000 women. It is our mission that any woman who needs our service should be able to find her way to a Smart Works centre.

In April 2022, Smart Works launched a Three-Year Plan that will see the charity double the number of women helped annually from 5,000 to 10,000 women a year. We are on track to achieve this by expanding the reach of our existing centres and opening new centres in areas of need including Bristol; set to open in early 2025.

About this role

Smart Works is looking for an experienced and motivated fundraising professional to join our dynamic team on a maternity cover for one year. We work with high profile and prestigious global businesses and this role sits at the heart of the Partnerships Team, reporting into the Director of Partnerships.

We are coming to the end of our 3 Year Plan, which saw us double the number of women reached from 5,000 per year to 10,000 per year and raising income from £3M to £5M. This is a pivotal time in the charity’s journey, with the opportunity to develop the future strategy, to work with the new Chief Executive joining in January 2025 and to meet ambitious partnership targets.

This role will lead Smart Work’s corporate partnerships strategy, significantly growing our partnership portfolio across sectors including finance, tech, insurance and more. Demonstrating excellent strategic and creative thinking, the successful candidate will be instrumental in establishing five and six figure transformational corporate partnerships, with multi-year scope and potential to deliver considerable strategic value against the Charity’s new Plan. The post-holder will also employ their outstanding communication skills to develop first-class relationships (at C-Suite) and oversee the management of these significant partnerships including Bobbi Brown, Google, Bank of America, and AJ Bell

Smart Works has a collaborative environment, with dynamic teams and ambitious plans. It is also a rewarding place to work and a lot of fun, with valuable opportunities to attend nationwide fundraising activities, expert leadership panel discussions, fashion sales and exclusive events.

The Partnerships team is based in London. This is a full-time hybrid role, with time split across all 3 of our London sites in Islington, Ladbroke Grove and Croydon. Some evening and weekend work is required. 

We promote equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace and encourage a diverse range of perspectives, skills, experience and knowledge within Smart Works. We welcome applications from outside the charity sector although fundraising and/or business acquisition experience is essential.
