About Our Client

This position is with a national charity working to transform the lives of young people who are facing serious challenges and barriers to independence. Operating across several regions in the UK, they support thousands of young people each year with safe accommodation, personalised support, and pathways into education and employment.

Their mission is clear: to help young people build secure, stable futures, and they know that meaningful partnerships with purpose‑driven companies are essential to making this a reality.

Job Description

As New Business Manager, you will lead on securing new corporate partnerships valued between £100,000 and £1 million. This is a key role within the team, balancing strategic pipeline development with hands‑on prospecting, creative proposal writing and confident external engagement.

You will:

  • Grow and manage a high‑value pipeline of warm and cold prospects
  • Lead outreach, pitch preparation and partnership negotiations
  • Develop compelling, insight‑driven proposals that speak to both corporate and social impact goals
  • Work closely with colleagues across the organisation to shape ambitious funding opportunities

  • Confidence in cold acquisition, from prospect research through to pitch
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to develop tailored, strategic proposals
  • A collaborative approach, working across teams to craft powerful partnership offers
  • Creativity, resilience, and a genuine passion for making a difference



You don't need experience in this sector, what matters most is your commitment to social impact and your ability to create partnerships that enable long‑term change
