UNICEF ensures more of the world's children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we're not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as a new business development lead in the corporate partnerships team.

The Corporate Partnerships team has achieved significant growth in recent years, securing, retaining and growing partnerships with private companies.

As Corporate Business Development Lead, you will lead on approaches and negotiations to secure new long-term, multi-year six, seven and eight figure corporate partnerships in line with our new business strategy and to deliver against agreed income targets.

To succeed, you will have experience of corporate fundraising: negotiating and delivering six figure new business partnerships. You will understand strategic and tactical fundraising planning and budgeting and you will be skilled at developing proposals, pitching, negotiation prospecting and effective account management.

Act now and visit our website via the button below to apply online.

Closing date: 5pm, Thursday 2 December 2021.

Interview date: Monday, 13 December via video conferencing (MS Teams).

We are gradually moving back to our offices on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London and we anticipate most colleagues will work one day a week in the office and the rest of the time from home. We are happy to discuss other flexible options to suit your circumstances.

We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, disabled candidates, and from men, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at this level at Unicef UK. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for children.

UNICEF UK promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplace. We make employment decisions by matching business needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

The successful candidate will be required to apply for a criminal records check. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will depend on the nature of the role and the circumstances of your offences.

We only accept online applications as this saves us money, making more funds available for us to help ensure children's rights.

If you require support in completing the online form or an application form in an alternative format, please contact Supporter Care on during office hours.

If you do not hear from us within 14 days of the closing date, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. Please note that we only provide feedback to shortlisted candidates.
