Corporate Partnerships Manager

Our corporate partnerships are vital to both the delivery of our mission and our sustainability, helping fund our programmes and campaigns and enabling us to reach key audiences.

We are recruiting a Corporate Partnerships Manager to develop existing relationships and secure incremental income to support our work. As part of this, you will research, write, and present funding proposals, work with colleagues to support and grow partnership activity, and represent the organisation at a high level - both on a day-to-day basis and during partner or fundraising events.

You will work closely with staff from across the organisation, including members of the senior management team, as well as corporate partners at a range of levels.

This role is London-based, with some capacity to work from home around the requirements of your role: we expect in-person events and meetings may be up to two or three days per week at times, but this will often be much less.

As well as significant experience of stewarding high-level corporate partnerships, you will need a background of working in or with the voluntary sector and knowledge of CSR and fundraising practice. You will have confidence in presenting and communicating, alongside skills in financial management and planning.

It gives you the tools to get the most out of life, and the power to shape your future. It's the key to knowledge, confidence and inspiration. It's better results at school, and better jobs. If children grow up without the tools to communicate, without books to read or opportunities to write, it's harder to get where you want to go.

The National Literacy Trust is an independent charity helping people overcome these challenges and change their life chances through the power of words - reading, writing, speaking and listening. From first words, through school days to training, jobs and beyond.
