About givestar
givestar is building the next generation of charitable giving. Our platform is designed to make fundraising more social, engaging and rewarding for the people raising money, the charities they support, and the events that bring them together.
While many of the world's established fundraising platforms were built more than two decades ago, givestar was created around how people use technology today: mobile-first, connected and community-driven.
And we're well beyond the idea stage.
givestar has already helped raise around $70m for charity, built a community of approximately 750,000 users, and works with major charities and fundraising events. With around 10,000 new users joining each week, the foundations are in place for the next stage of growth.
Following a $12m Series A, we're now moving from startup to scale-up. We're investing across our leadership, product, engineering and commercial teams, while accelerating our expansion into the US.
About the role
We're looking for a consultative salesperson to help grow givestar's network of charity partners in the UK.
You'll build and manage a healthy pipeline of new opportunities, getting to know each charity and understanding what they're trying to achieve. From there, you'll show how givestar's core platform and event-linked programmes can support their goals and take opportunities from first conversation through to signed partnership.
You'll work closely with Account Management to make sure new partners have a smooth handover and are set up well from the start.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Identify, qualify and manage a pipeline of new charity opportunities to meet quarterly new-business revenue targets.
