New Business Lead - Corporate Partnerships

Prospectus is excited to be working with a national refugee charity to help them recruit for a New Business Lead - Corporate Partnerships to join their team. This charity is the UN Refugee Agency's national partner for the United Kingdom. They help refugees by advocating for their protection and raising funds that help UNHCR deliver humanitarian relief to displaced families across the globe. They are apolitical and believe that every person fleeing conflict and persecution has the right to seek protection, regardless of their race, religion, nationality, political affiliation, or social group.

Thanks to their UK supporters, UNHCR teams can deliver humanitarian relief to families left with no one else to turn to. From rushing life-saving aid to civilians fleeing the frontlines of conflict, to ongoing care, such as education and healthcare, for families whose lives may remain in limbo for years.

This role is offered on a flexible full-time 18-month contract basis, paying a salary between £45,500 to £50,500 per annum with flexible hybrid working arrangements at their London office.

Responsibilities

This newly created role will be responsible for securing high-value, seven-figure (financial and non-financial) partnerships with corporate entities that protect and empower refugees globally.
