About the role

In this role you will manage and develop a high performing team working on Macmillan’s biggest corporate partnership which raises just short of £4m per year. This is an incredible opportunity to work on one of the biggest and more importantly the best charity partnership in the sector. This is a unique opportunity to lead on an industry leading, award-winning and highly admired partnership. The partner is a well-loved UK pub chain and as a result the role comes with some travel to pubs and HQs across the office.

You will lead on strategy and proposition development, securing the maximum value for Macmillan in line with Macmillan’s agreed organisational strategy and objectives. You will lead on partnership growth opportunities across your team, influencing and stewarding key decision makers to enable long-term commitments on this partnership.

You will be expected to identify new opportunities to grow the partners income as well as impact. In addition to this you will regularly take ambitious plans, campaigns and ideas to the partner to help innovate and diversify income streams. There is also an expectation to attend events as this partner regularly raises income for Macmillan through brand and supplier fundraisers.

You will use your initiative to seek out new opportunities and will passionately represent the Macmillan brand to help create long term strategic partnerships. You will coach and lead your team to develop the best partnership in the sector.

You will work cross-organisationally drawing on skills and knowledge across teams so it’s essential that you also demonstrate the leadership, team-working, communication and influencing skills that will extract the greatest value from the relationships you build both inside Macmillan and with partners.
