Corporate Partnerships Manager

We are partnering with Charity People to find a new Corporate Partnerships Manager, to capture the imagination of new corporate funders and drive growth from the business community.

Purpose of the role

The corporate partnerships programme is a growing area for Literacy Pirates. It currently makes up 20% of income and has doubled in the last three years. This role will spearhead our growth strategy, target new partners, and unlock key opportunities for businesses to support our work in a variety of ways.

The Corporate Partnerships Manager will work closely with the Head of Fundraising to design the strategy, build collaborative new business plans and innovative ways of engaging partners. There is also line management of a Corporate Partnerships Officer, providing key support and development of their skillset and experience.
