ABOUT THE ROLE
Team: Philanthropy and Partnerships Team
This is an exciting time to join the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust.

As Corporate Partnerships Senior Officer, you will bring creativity, resilience, and strong organisational skills to the team. You will have a genuine passion for our cause and take a collaborative and detail-oriented approach to support the growth of our Corporate Partnerships programme.
You will have a track record of securing new corporate partnerships or sponsorships, generating income and managing a diverse pipeline of opportunities.
You will work to deliver excellent, bespoke stewardship to nurture meaningful relationships with valued partners and open doors to new opportunities, generating vital income that supports the charity’s mission.
You will work with colleagues across the Philanthropy and Partnerships team, Comms and Supporter Engagement sharing ideas, insights to develop impact-drive propositions and pitches using a story focussed approach to secure new support from corporate partners.
Alongside this, you will keep a thoughtful eye on progress, monitoring and reporting on partnership performance, maintaining accurate records, and ensuring everything we do reflects the highest standards of fundraising practice.
What You’ll Be Doing
Support the delivery of the corporate partnerships programme, working with the corporate partnerships team to help secure high-value, strategic corporate partnerships with companies from a range of sectors.
Help to generate significant income for the charity, increase awareness of our new brand and identify creative opportunities to engage new audiences in Walk Wheel Cycle Trust.
Deliver excellent, tailored stewardship to retain and grow our existing partners support, in turn supporting the wider work of the Philanthropy and Partnerships team.
Key Responsibilities
Identify and secure new high-value partnerships which generate significant income, engage new audiences and increase awareness of Walk Wheel Cycle Trust’s new brand.
Deliver excellent partner stewardship and build strong relationships with partners helping to develop a pipeline of high-value, multi-year, strategic partnerships which support the charity’s strategic objectives.
Working collaboratively with key teams across Impact, Comms and Fundraising, develop compelling pitches and propositions which demonstrate the impact of the charity and secure partners’ support.
Manage a pipeline of new and existing partnership opportunities and track progress using the charity’s CRM to ensure excellent record keeping and administration.
Manage relationships with key internal stakeholders from the wider fundraising team, senior leadership, volunteering, communications and business development teams to gain their support and identify new partnership opportunities across the charity.
Contribute to financial targets and reporting to inform the annual forecasting and budgeting process.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships, finding innovative ways to inspire giving, and taking a creative approach to new partnership opportunities and problem solving. You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy managing your own workload, thrive in a varied and fast paced environment and are looking to develop your fundraising experience, and be part of an inspiring, kind, and hugely supportive team.
