With a proven track record of fundraising and partnership engagement (whether corporate or another route) you will use your strong communication and relationship management skills to develop our relationships with businesses. You'll work closely with the corporate partnerships team and business partners to build and deliver partnerships that make a real difference. Your understanding of corporate charity partnerships and social impact, ability to influence people at a senior level, and curiosity will allow you to spot opportunities to help drive partnership working at Turn2us.
