Background:

Every three minutes someone in the UK develops dementia: a progressive and complex condition that can be devastating for the whole family. One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime – either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both.

Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family. Our specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide free, expert advice, support and understanding to help families care for their loved one. Every day, Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible, for as long as possible.

Purpose of the job/About the role

Over the past few years, Dementia UK’s Fundraising and Engagement department has experienced substantial growth, forging strategic partnerships with a number of major national companies across a range of sectors with some exciting prospects in the pipeline.

This is an opportunity to join Dementia UK’s corporate team and play a vital role in overseeing  account management activity and ensuring we deliver expert stewardship across our partners.

As Corporate Partnership Manager, you will lead a portfolio of key corporate partners, ensuring that agreed targets and objectives, including a focus on securing partnership extensions and uplifting fundraising, are met or exceeded wherever possible. You will also work closely with the wider Corporate team, reporting to the Corporate Partnerships Lead, to strengthen our partnership offering which will, in turn, help attract new business and increase our portfolio’s sustainability.

You will create moments to bring our impact to life in front of our corporate partners, from engaging reports to inspiring presentations, to build partnership visability and understanding. . You will also maintain  annual partnership plans,  accurate financial reports and key processes to help streamline our efforts. You will manage a Corporate Partnerships Executive, providing them with effective development and support to ensure they flourish in their role.

To succeed in this role, you will be passionate about building transformational partnerships with a proven track record in managing a diverse portfolio of accounts, including multi-year, commercial, and high-value (5- and 6-figure) partnerships. Ideally, you will have direct experience generating income from various activities such as employee fundraising, sponsorship, commercial ventures, and grants preferably within a charity setting. However, we are also open to candidates with strong account management experience in the corporate sector.

If you are passionate about building sustainable and strategic partnerships, we want to hear from you!

In addition to a competitive salary and a generous benefits package, we truly value our people. It’s important for us to create a working environment that looks after our workforce to achieve their full potential.

We recognise and value the key role you will play in delivering our strategic plans for the benefit of those living with dementia.
