Regional Corporate Partnerships Manager - North West of England and West Midlands

Are you an experienced corporate fundraiser with a proven track record of winning significant partnerships of high value?

As a Regional Partnership Manager, you'll make a mark on our Corporate Partnerships team, winning and creating exciting new partnerships for the British Heart Foundation (BHF).

In this role, you’ll be an essential member of the Corporate Partnerships Team. You'll play an integral role in shaping the future of our partnerships, ensuring targets for new business acquisition and subsequent account management are achieved.

Use your skills to help us get closer to a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases.

Working arrangements 

This is a home-based role with some travel (approximately 2-3 trips per month) to meet with partners, prospects, and Community Fundraising teams across the West Midlands and North West of England. You’ll be reimbursed for all reasonable travel expenses.

As this is a regional role and given the current pipeline of opportunities, we are looking for candidates who live in the West Midlands or North West of England regions.
 
On occasion, you may also be required to work flexibly to support evening and weekend activity. Where this is the case, you will be compensated for this with time off in lieu.

About you

As our perfect candidate, you bring end-to-end experience of identifying a partnership opportunity, taking the prospect through the sales cycle, and securing the corporate partnership. You have demonstrable experience in thinking commercially and winning high value opportunities. 

With excellent communication, networking, influencing, and relationship building skills, you have proven experience of working with others to secure significant bids, sharing skills and experiences with those around you.

A results-oriented go-getter, you are always willing to pick up the phone and reach out to cold prospects. You have a demonstrable track record of building and writing partnership proposals and delivering presentations to board-level decision makers.

Integral to coming into this role is your experience in winning new business, whether it’s from working for a charity in corporate partnerships or in the private sector in a sales role.   

A strategic thinker, you’ll be brimming with creative ways to win new business. You'll be confident in presenting to internal and external stakeholders at all levels. You'll also have experience of developing CRM/product promotion and sponsorship partnerships.

You are able to work collaboratively and innovatively with colleagues across the organisation to maximise opportunities from both prospects and partners. 

You can work under your own initiative from a home base while still contributing positively to the regional teams.

It is desirable (although not essential) for you to have a full UK driving licence and access to a car.
