Job description

WWF is one of the world's leading conservation organisations, working across more than 100 countries to protect nature and tackle some of the planet's biggest environmental challenges.

At WWF-Singapore, we believe businesses have a critical role to play in creating a future where people and nature thrive together. As climate change accelerates and biodiversity declines, the need for bold partnerships has never been greater. We are looking for an ambitious, relationship-driven partnerships professional to help mobilise corporate support and unlock meaningful investment for conservation and sustainability.

If you enjoy building strategic relationships, creating win-win partnerships, and influencing organisations to make a lasting impact, this is an opportunity to do work that truly matters.

About the Role

Nature is under threat, and businesses have a bigger role to play.

We're building partnerships that help companies invest in solutions for climate, biodiversity, oceans, wildlife and blue carbon while supporting their sustainability ambitions. This role sits at the centre of that effort, unlocking corporate support that delivers measurable impact for both business and nature.

As Partnerships Senior Manager, you'll be at the forefront of WWF-Singapore's corporate fundraising and business development efforts. You'll build relationships with leading companies, identify new opportunities, and develop partnerships that create shared value.

• Build, manage and grow a portfolio of corporate partners and foundations.
• Identify and secure new partnerships through business development, networking and strategic outreach.
• Develop compelling partnership proposals that align business priorities with WWF's conservation, climate, blue carbon, education and outreach programmes.
• Build trusted relationships with senior decision-makers to grow long-term partnerships and maximise impact.
• Develop sector engagement strategies, manage a healthy pipeline of opportunities, and achieve fundraising targets.
• Collaborate across WWF teams to deliver outstanding partner experiences and continuously improve partnership performance through data and market insights.

Who are we looking for

You are someone who:

• Are familiar with conservation works, protecting nature and biodiversity
• Is a natural closer who knows how to move from conversation to commitment
• Have successfully fundraised five and six-figure for projects
• Builds trust quickly and communicates with confidence at senior levels
• Is both strategic and hands-on, you think big but execute fast
• Can juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball
• Loves working with people and creating meaningful, purpose-driven partnerships
• Is a highly motivated and results-driven team leader

Why Join Us?

• Work on partnerships that help tackle some of the world's biggest environmental challenges.
• Collaborate with passionate colleagues who believe business can be a force for good.
• Build relationships with senior leaders across Singapore's corporate community.
• Grow your career in strategic partnerships, business development and sustainability.
• Play a direct role in mobilising funding for climate action, blue carbon, biodiversity conservation and nature-positive solutions.
