About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a dynamic, world-renowned organisation committed to creating a future where both people and planet thrive. This post is an essential part of our ambitious fundraising team, delivering market-leading account management, stewarding relationships with the Museum's corporate partners to deliver amazing partnerships, lead renewal of accounts, and seek out opportunities to grow existing relationships.

The Corporate Partnerships Manager will both take ownership of existing high value partnerships and deliver the seamless transition of accounts from New Business to the Account Management team. They are expected to deliver accurate and timely account management for high-profile accounts, striking the balance between delivering contractual benefits, and identifying additional opportunities for the partner and Museum to further benefit.

This is a fixed term contract until 1 February 2028.

About you

As a crucial member of an ambitious fundraising team, you'll strike the balance between delivering contractual benefits and spotting additional opportunities for the partner and Museum to benefit even further, starting renewal conversations early, planning timely evaluations and cultivation opportunities that embed the Museum deeper into our partners’ businesses, and leading renewal plans to secure and grow their support. You’ll make sure the Museum’s priorities and brand are realised throughout, and bring an innovative and creative approach to how we develop partnerships.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across the Museum and in other areas of Fundraising to devise, agree and deliver innovative fundraising and sponsorship projects, briefing and delegating work so it all comes together into one well-delivered partnership, all while negotiating firmly but fairly to protect the value of what we offer partners and the time and resource of colleagues. You’ll report regularly to internal and external stakeholders, produce invoices and contracts as necessary, and deputise for the Senior Corporate Partnerships Manager as appropriate. You’ll have a proven track record in partnership account management and be confident negotiating bespoke deals and benefits packages. Above all, we want a fast learner who takes initiative, spots opportunities early and is always thinking a step ahead on how to grow and renew partners.
