Job description

Overview

Are you passionate about making a tangible impact locally and changing the lives of vulnerable young people? Roundabout is looking for a Business Development Manager to support homeless young people aged 16-25 in Sheffield.

This is not your average business development role. This is a blank canvas, a big opportunity, and a chance to be right at the heart of change for young people experiencing homelessness across South Yorkshire.

As part of Roundabout’s Fundraising team, you’ll lead the charge in growing our corporate partnerships—connecting with brilliant businesses, inspiring them to get involved, and showing them just how powerful their support can be. You’ll research, identify and approach key decision-makers, opening conversations around Corporate Social Responsibility and creating meaningful partnerships that go far beyond a logo on a leaflet.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of our existing corporate supporters, nurturing long-term relationships, keeping them engaged with our work, and helping them see the real, human impact of their support on the lives of young people in our community.
• Build new relationships—motivating companies to fundraise with us, sponsor events, or become long-term partners in our mission.
• Develop imaginative fundraising ideas, support businesses to run their own initiatives, and bring fresh energy to exciting events like Krazy Races in Sheffield.
• Play a vital part in growing Roundabout’s corporate income and ensuring the long-term sustainability of our work.
• Be an energetic, values-driven ambassador for Roundabout—enthusiastic and genuinely motivated by making a difference.

Qualifications

• Experience in business development, sales, account management or a similar relationship-focused role.
• Confidence in approaching senior stakeholders and a passion for building meaningful, lasting partnerships.
• Ability to think creatively and act as a natural ambassador for Roundabout.

About the role and benefits

This role plays a vital part in growing Roundabout’s corporate income and ensuring the long-term sustainability of our work—so that more young people can have a safe place to live, support to rebuild their lives, and hope for the future.

If you love building relationships, have a head full of ideas, and want your work to genuinely matter—we’d love to hear from you.
