Corporate Partnership Development & Management

Hands-on support on the charity side: developing opportunities, looking after an important partner or working as your part-time corporate partnerships manager across multiple relationships.

When this helps

  • You need capacity to follow through on researched corporate opportunities.
  • One major relationship needs a clear owner and consistent attention.
  • You need a part-time manager for your wider partner portfolio.

How I work with you

We define the relationships, responsibilities and time allocation together. I coordinate internal colleagues as well as external partners, connecting day-to-day activity with partnership objectives and the charity’s priorities.
