Regional Partnership Lead Wales
Regional Partnership Lead – Marie Curie
Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all four nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country. We provide information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life care, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone can have the best possible quality of life while living with a condition likely to end in death.
Job Description
We are looking for a resilient, self-driven, and highly motivated Regional Partnership Lead to join our local fundraising team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a competitive, fast-paced environment and brings experience from commercial sales, a corporate partnerships role, or the charity sector.
You’ll take the lead in growing local corporate income by identifying, securing, and developing high-value partnerships across a wide range of industries, helping us deliver meaningful impact for thousands of people receiving end-of-life care.
As Regional Partnership Lead, you'll be a true self-starter:
- Proactive in building a strong prospect pipeline
- Confident in pitching to senior corporate stakeholders
- Skilled at creating compelling cases for support
- Collaboration across fundraising teams
- Supporting colleagues in your region
- Acting as a strong ambassador for our charity within corporate and community networks
If you’re tenacious, commercially minded, and energised by securing new business, this role offers the chance to make a real difference.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and manage a robust prospect pipeline across multiple sectors.
- Develop creative, tailored cultivation and stewardship plans for top prospects.
- Conduct prospect research to identify target companies, brands, and key contacts.
- Stay informed on market trends, campaigns, and partnership opportunities.
- Develop and steward relationships with senior decision-makers to maximise partnership value.
- Collaborate with national corporate partnerships and wider fundraising teams.
- Represent the charity externally, raising awareness of our mission and services.
- Meet and exceed financial targets through securing new and future year partnerships.
- Lead on writing compelling, commercially focused proposals and pitches.
- Create and deliver imaginative employee engagement and public vote strategies.
