Corporate Partnership Lead

Ready to lead one of the UK's most ambitious charity retail partnerships?

The UK's leading end of life charity is looking for a proactive, relationship-driven Corporate Partnership Lead to spearhead their record-breaking £15 million partnership with a well-known supermarket chain. This is a completely unique and rare opportunity to embed yourself within one of the UK's leading retailers - driving income, impact and innovation from the inside out.

Salary: Circa £44k
Location: Hybrid, between the supermarket chain's HQ in Bradford and home (between 1-3 days onsite, dependent on personal preferences, with travel onsite reimbursed)
Contract: Permanent, 35 hours per week FTE or 0.8 reduced hours considered
Benefits: 25 days holiday (+bank), up to 7.5% matched pension contribution and other family and life-friendly policies
Culture: Vibrant and energising, where high-performance and ambition meets support and collaboration

You'll be the face of the charity at the supermarket's HQ in Bradford, working hand-in-hand with their Corporate Affairs team to deliver sector-leading fundraising, cause-related marketing and commercial campaigns that are big on impact.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead a high-performing team to deliver £5m+ annually through colleague fundraising, CRM and strategic initiatives.
• Pitch new ideas to buying teams and unlock fresh commercial opportunities.
• Build powerful relationships across both organisations to drive momentum.
• Manage budgets, report impact and ensure every penny counts.
• Champion creativity, stewardship and collaboration.

What We're Looking For

• Proven expert in corporate partnerships with high-value experience (six figures+).
• Confident communicator and strategic thinker who thrives in fast-paced environments.
• Someone who can spot opportunities, build trust, and deliver results.
• People-first leader who brings out the best in their team (open to this being someone's first line management role).
• Passionate about the charity's mission and ready to make things happen.

This is your chance to shape one of the most exciting collaborations in the sector, with the backing of a brilliant team and a trusted national brand.
