Do you have a proven track record of growing high-value, strategic partnerships and unlocking new opportunities within complex relationships?

About the role
We are recruiting for a Corporate Partnerships Lead (Partnership Management) to join on a full-time basis, working 35 hours per week on a permanent contract. This is a hybrid role with your time split between working remotely and travelling into London to work from our office at Crutched Friars or attending in-person meetings with key partners, colleagues, and other stakeholders.
As Corporate Partnerships Lead (Partnership Management), you will lead one of the most significant and exciting corporate partnership portfolios in the charity sector, with responsibility for driving sustainable income growth, partner engagement and long-term strategic value.
You will own and deliver our partnership management strategy, determining how we maximise value, impact and growth from existing partnerships. Working with well-known partners including The FA, British Airways and Well Pharmacy, you will ensure partnerships continue to evolve, deepen and deliver meaningful outcomes for both organisations.
Leading and developing a high-performing team, you will create a culture of ambition, accountability and commercial excellence. You will support and challenge colleagues to think beyond delivery, identifying new opportunities for growth, innovation and shared value within partner relationships.
This is a highly strategic and externally focused leadership role. You will personally lead some of our most significant and complex partnerships, working closely with senior executives and C-suite stakeholders to develop compelling growth strategies, secure investment and build long-term relationships that deliver transformational results.
You will act as a senior leader across Corporate Partnerships and the wider organisation, influencing how we approach partner growth, defining what excellent partnership management looks like and embedding a consistently commercial, relationship-led approach across the team.
We have provisionally scheduled the first stage interviews for this role to take place via MS Teams on the week commencing Monday 26th October. Second stage interviews will take place in-person at our Crutched Friars offices in London – currently scheduled for Wednesday 11th November.
About you
You will bring significant experience of having managed, grown and renewed complex, high-value partnerships, with a proven track record of securing substantial income growth from existing relationships. Your experience may have been from the charity, commercial or public sectors.

About Alzheimer's Society - who are we and what’s our mission?
Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.
At Alzheimer’s Society, we’re the UK’s leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding ground-breaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.
Together with our supporters, we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.
Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.
Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve.
