Senior Manager, Diversity And Inclusion

Tommy’s believe that every baby lost is one too many. The charity exists to support, care for and champion people, no matter where they may be on their pregnancy journey.

Tommy’s carry out ground-breaking medical research from their research centres, looking into causes and treatments for pregnancy complications, and have clinics allowing them to translate their research into care and connecting with women eligible for clinical trials. The charity also provides a wealth of pregnancy information, advice and support for women, parents and the public.

Tommy’s Partnerships and Philanthropy team is looking for a Senior Corporate Development Manager to drive new business development, as well as manage their key flagship partnership with Poundland.

New business is a key priority area, with plenty of untapped opportunities through lapsed partners, renewals on existing partnerships, and new markets to explore.

The Poundland partnership will involve leading the partnership through a new phase of delivery – the first time Poundland has transferred to a foundation, and therefore providing restricted funding. You’ll also look at future-proofing the partnership and identifying new projects of interest to the partner.

• Lead and manage a small portfolio of partnerships, including Tommy’s six-figure flagship partnership with Poundland & The Poundland Foundation (portfolio value c. £350kpa)

• Focus on developing new brand and cause marketing opportunities that support Tommy’s strategic goals, as well as supporting the development of our wider new business pipeline
• Establish strong cross-organisational relationships with Marketing, Pregnancy Information and Research colleagues, to develop cases for support and prepare compelling pitches and cause marketing campaigns that win new support, generate income and grow brand awareness

Ideal skills and experience:

• Experience in and passion for generating new business in a charity setting
• Excellent account management skills
• Confidence, proactivity, full of ideas and self-aware
