About the Role
We are looking for a senior partnerships officer who will ensure our vital work to address the environmental crisis is well funded, working to secure new partnerships and stewarding existing funder relationships.
This multifaceted role works across teams to coordinate and deliver Green Alliance’s fundraising activities and grant management. Collaborating with the organisation’s policy and political experts, you support the creation of creative and impactful new project proposals that address environmental problems and support the organisation’s strategy. You will identify funders for this through prospecting and relationship building and will guide proposals through processes to secure funds. You will monitor the organisation’s progress against fundraising targets and lead on management of our funding pipeline.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
