Prospectus is delighted to be supporting our client as they look to bring in a new position into their team. We are looking to support the organisation appoint a Partnership Development Manager for their new Opportunity Fund. This position will be offered on a permanent basis, with expectations to be in the London office at least once a week.

Opportunity Fund – Backing bold ideas and building a stronger sector.

The Opportunity Fund is a new fund being developed by the organisation to give the charity the flexibility to support work that sits outside their core priorities but has real potential to make change happen.

They’re using this fund to back bold thinking early. That includes new ideas, pilot projects and untested approaches. They’ll also support promising work that’s ready to grow or respond to urgent needs. Some of the best ideas start small, and need backing before they’re proven.

Through this fund they will:

• Support innovation through early-stage work and pilots, including projects that sit outside their main priority areas
• Strengthen leadership and skills across the sector by investing in tools, training, networks and collaboration
• Support inclusion by backing leaders from underrepresented communities and helping organisations diversify how they are led
  
  
  

This fund is also part of how the charity will support the long-term strength of the voluntary and community sector. It gives them space to respond quickly, test new approaches and back the people shaping the future of social change.

The Role

The Opportunity Fund Partnership Development Manager plays a central role in supporting funding opportunities aligned with the objectives of the Opportunity Fund. This role combines relationship-building and programme development to ensure the Opportunity Fund achieves the maximum impact.

This role will be responsible for working closely with the CEO and the Strategy, Research and Engagement team to initially identify possible opportunities for funding, through to managing the relationship with organisations once funding is awarded. This will include remaining in tune with sector insights and development across philanthropy, civil society and public policy.

The Candidate

The successful candidate will be proactive and ambitious, with a real interest in innovation in philanthropy to delivery greater social change. You will have proven experience developing and managing partnerships, with experience of engaging a range of stakeholders including funders, community organisations, and sector experts.

You will have experience of designing or supporting programme delivery with a track record of scoping and delivering research or development projects that inform funding or strategic decisions.

If you are interested to learn more about the position, please apply with your CV only. Should your profile be successful, a relevant consultant will be in touch to explore the role, and experience, in more detail.
