At More Partnership, we are fundraising consultants – and more. We support organisations of every size, across education, health, the arts, international development and more, on every step of their philanthropic journey. That means helping leadership, fundraisers and other professionals to understand the opportunity, set direction, tell their story, or review performance. We believe great partnerships lead to life-changing outcomes, so when it matters most, we go beyond what's expected of us to help organisations realise their vision. At the end of a project, our clients tell us they have more confidence, momentum, and a clear way forward.
We are partners in purpose, and since April 2020, equal owners of our firm. Each member of our team has an equal say in the decisions we make, a share in our success, and a responsibility to push us forward. We are a virtual firm, networked across Europe, America, Africa and beyond, with a head office in Scotland. More Partnership currently has 18 consultants, enabled by an Advancement team covering business development, finance, operations and IT.
We are now looking to recruit for a Head of Business Development responsible for designing and delivering a strategy to enable our growth, quality, learning and marketing. This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our business development strategy at a key moment in our evolution. You will coordinate activity that helps deliver the highest quality work with lasting impact, continues to grow our reputation across sectors, and inspires clients to return to us time and again. Under your leadership, we'll continue to support colleagues' growth and to pass these benefits on to our clients. You'll work collaboratively with consultants and clients to seize the opportunity to enhance and refine our business development function – strengthening its impact for the long-term success of More Partnership and the organisations we serve. Reporting to the Managing Partner, you'll work closely with the Finance and Operations, and IT & Systems Lead as part of the Advancement Executive Team, and line manage the Business Development Manager.
The role involves regular travel across the UK (and occasionally further afield) – usually once or twice per month. This role is available full-time, but we welcome applications from those who would prefer to work part-time – at a minimum of 0.8FTE based on the requirements of the role.
The successful candidate will bring experience designing and delivering effective business development strategies that include, inspire and empower people. You'll be highly commercially aware and bring a sound knowledge of the challenges and opportunities in the not-for-profit sector. You'll have a strong track record of putting that knowledge and awareness into action, drawing on data and insight to shape strategies that drive measurable outcomes and growth. To ensure these strategies succeed, you'll be adept at project management and skilled at communicating and influencing those around you towards a shared goal.
