We're achieving this by bringing all the available information into one single, impartial, user-friendly platform that helps students to make the best choices, and submit the strongest applications.

Employer partnerships at Unifrog

Unifrog provides employers with a comprehensive talent attraction and development offering, with a holistic approach to our partnerships. The Employer Partnerships team brings local and international employers closer to our Unifrog schools, students and teachers. We focus on three key areas:

1. Building brand awareness
2. Increasing talent attraction and/or diversity of hires for apprenticeship opportunities
3. Supporting corporate social responsibility 

This allows employers to centralise their engagement with the future workforce via one partnership. 

This is the newest element of the Unifrog team and since starting work with employers in March 2022, we’re now partnered with over 110 organisations from across all sectors and industries to support them with their talent attraction and brand awareness. 

We’re increasing growth through providing unique tailored partnerships for employers; from partnerships that centre around a virtual course to support students in developing their skills (while increasing brand awareness), to partnering with Unifrog schools in areas of high levels of disadvantage via our school sponsorship programme, which brings outstanding careers guidance and networking opportunities with employers and universities to the students, schools and parents/carers who need it most.

 

The role and your key responsibilities

As Employer Partnerships Manager, your role is to grow our employer partner numbers and support our existing employer partners to get the most out of their partnership with us. A fundamental element of our work with employers is to make sure they’re adding genuine value to our student, teacher and parent community. 

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Make sales to employers:
  • Working with our New Business Lead and the wider Employer team, you’ll secure and conduct meetings with employers in which you’ll listen to their needs, communicate our mission to them, demonstrate our offering and seek to secure their ongoing subscription. External events and conferences are a regular part of the role where you may also be required to deliver presentations and be part of panel discussions.

• Maintain excellent relationships with existing partners and secure their subscriptions

  • You’ll onboard new partners, conduct regular check-in calls and consultatively support our employer partners to make the most of their partnership with us. It’s crucial that you maintain a sky-high resubscription rate.

• Delivering our existing services for partner employers

  • As the partnerships manager for your employers, you would be responsible for delivering on the different aspects of the partnership, including:

• Matching campaigns

  • Support your partners to identify events and opportunities they’re running that will be of interest to students using Unifrog, and work with our Employer Engagement Coordinator to add them to our system.

• Webinars, online fairs and in-person events

  • These events are another way for our partner employers to interact with our community of students and teachers. From virtual careers fairs, skill development webinars to in-person insights days, we strive for all our events to be useful, impactful and enjoyable for everyone taking part.

• Help develop new ways for our employer partners to add and receive value

  • The employer offering is continually evolving, and we’re keen to keep adding more ways in which we can add value for students and teachers using the Unifrog platform, and value to our employer partners as well. At Unifrog, we innovate quickly, and it’s everyone’s job to be creative. We want you to play your part in coming up with new services we can deliver which add value to all parties. 

 

What we’re looking for

• Resilient, and motivated to exceed targets

  • Our sales and resubscription targets are ambitious but achievable. You’ll need to be determined to meet and exceed them.

• Active listening

  • Our employer offering is a bespoke partnership, based on the objectives of our employer partners and how their goals align with the needs of our student and teacher audience. You’ll need to be an outstanding active listener, and be able to facilitate consultative discussions with potential and existing partners. 

• Personable, with a track record of excellent relationship management

  • At Unifrog we’re known for our excellent customer service. You’ll need to provide fantastic support for your partner employers.

• Strong communication skills

  • You’ll be in frequent communication with lots of different people, both within Unifrog and externally - this will be in person, written, over the phone and via video call. You’ll need to be an outstanding communicator, and prepared to speak on panels and present at conferences.

• Attention to detail

  • Whether it’s marketing collateral or an email to a partner organisation, it’s important you have the skills and discipline to carefully check our employer focused content and communications.

• Proactive attitude and willingness to get stuck in

  • You need to be excited about going beyond the core responsibilities detailed above to improve what we do and make it a success.

• Data analysis

  • You will be expected to organise and interpret data to help employer partners make decisions about their partnership which will lead to securing new business and renewals. We also use Salesforce and Power BI; experience using these tools is desirable but not essential. You also need to be confident using google sheets, excel and powerpoint to create easy to understand visual representations. 

• Commercial awareness

  • We are more interested in people’s attitude and ability than their work history, but previous experience in Corporate Social Responsibility,  Emerging Talent, and/or Apprenticeships would be an advantage.

 

Working together

This is an exciting opportunity to join our growing Employer Partnerships team. You’ll work alongside several other teams at Unifrog too, including people on our marketing, data analysis, and school facing teams. You’ll be line-managed by the Head of Employer Partnerships.

 

Benefits

• Become part of a committed, dynamic, and growing company. We want to build our team for the long term: if you do well, we will do our best to make sure you want to stay at the company for a long time.

• Professional development is important at Unifrog. You will define your own 6-month objectives and will be supported by your line manager and the rest of the team to achieve them. You will have an annual training allowance to spend on what you need to grow and progress.

• Influence the company’s direction: we love to promote great ideas, wherever they come from.

Inclusion and diversity at Unifrog
 

• Within the company we try to foster a culture of innovation, and a happy working environment, both because this is the right thing to do, and because we think this results in the most effective team. To this end we believe in open communication, celebrating successes, supporting each other, not being afraid to be wrong or to fail, and promoting good ideas wherever they come from.

• As a platform that supports teachers and students from a huge variety of backgrounds it’s important that our team and leadership reflects this diversity. This is something we are actively working towards and prioritising. We want to embed diversity, equity and inclusion across everything we do, continually evaluating policies and practices to make sure they are inclusive and equitable.

• To make sure everyone’s voice is heard and people have the opportunities to learn to be better allies in the workplace, we encourage the team to share what they’re celebrating, facilitate training and group discussions, and seek regular feedback about what more the company could do to help people feel included.

• To ensure that our recruitment process is consistent and fair, we anonymise your application and therefore do not see your name, personal, educational or professional background. We also randomise the order of responses so that it’s less likely that a candidate is advantaged or disadvantaged by where their answers appear compared to other candidates.

Professional business English – written and spoken – is a pre-requisite. Previous experience in business development or income generation is highly desirable.

You should be passionate about volunteering and the impact that volunteers have on their communities and the wider world. This role will be part of a close-knit team at Volunteer Centre Camden that supports each other to meet the wider objectives of the charity to promote and facilitate volunteering in all of its forms.

Having navigated the challenges of the pandemic, the organisation has naturally placed an emphasis in recent years on retaining and sustaining the existing relationships we have with the 2,500 organisations (centres) that deliver our programmes.
