Good at spotting an opportunity, negotiating and successfully securing new income and support from a range of sources? If this is you we’d love to hear from you.

Charites, businesses and the public sector play a crucial role in civil society. With an increased drive to release the potential of closer partnerships, NCVO is looking for a highly motivated individual with a successful track record of securing new income. 

The successful applicant will work closely with the Director of Finance and Services, Head of Support and Services and Corporate Relationships Manager to develop and implement a strategy for new income streams.

You will proactively develop and secure a pipeline of strategic partnerships, identify funding opportunities, write bids and generate leads for our training and consultancy team. You will use your skills and experience to create compelling proposals and lead negotiations.

You’ll be a comfortable networker with a keen business eye, and an appetite to identify, develop and implement opportunities for the benefit of NCVO’s members and the wider sector.

Managing relationships and negotiating successful outcomes underpins the success of this role. You’ll have a proven track record of excellent business development techniques and results, alongside your experience of building successful partnerships and relationships at all levels.

NCVO is fully committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in our sector.  We want this to be reflected in the diversity of the people who work for us and we welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and identities. We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented in NCVO. As part of our commitment to employing disabled people, all disabled candidates who meet the minimum requirement for all competencies on the person specification, will be guaranteed an interview.

If you have access needs or require reasonable adjustments as part of the recruitment process, please let us know.
