Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.

We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.



As Senior Fundraising Manager, you will be responsible for driving and inspiring new business within regional corporate fundraising. You will leverage research insights, professional networks, and tailored engagement strategies to cultivate a pipeline of high-value opportunities.

In this role, you will:

Proactively identify and prioritise high value, strategically aligned corporate prospects. Build and manage a strong pipeline of opportunities with tailored engagement and stewardship plans. Create and deliver compelling, high-quality partnership proposals and pitches. Negotiate partnership terms and ensure smooth handovers to account managers for long-term growth. Work collaboratively across teams to embed safeguarding and compliance into all partnership activity. Contribute to the continuous improvement of corporate fundraising strategy, bringing energy and innovation to the team.

About you

What we offer you

Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is - a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
