They will help generate significant income, increase audience reach, and maximise the power of our brand so that new partners can see the impact they can have for children and young people.

The individual will need to develop relationships with prospective partners using their proactive outreach skills and networks, and use a relationship-led approach to develop the new partnerships pipeline, ensuring potential for high-value, strategic, multi-year, multi-faceted partnerships.

• Relationship Management: Through proactive outreach and relationship management, build a strong pipeline of prospects to help us secure high-value, strategic, multi-year and multi-faceted partnerships to deliver our strategic objectives for children.
• Develop high quality pitches and propositions, in line with our grant-making strategy, to secure partnerships and make the most of the power of BBC Children in Need’s brand.
• Delivering Impact: Collaborate with our Impact and Insight teams to develop impact-led propositions that drive broader impact beyond income, through story-telling and a compelling case for support.
• Financial Reporting: Contribute to financial targets and use them to inform budgeting and forecasting.

• Commercial Approach: Demonstrate strong commercial acumen with a proven track record of identifying opportunities and securing income from new partnerships.
• Significant brand and marketing campaign experience with notable success, including metrics like increased sales, increased fundraising income, brand awareness, or customer engagement. An understanding of how these approaches can help deliver on the organisation’s wider purpose for children.
