ABOUT THE ROLE
The Corporate Partnerships Manager will play a pivotal role in the delivery and stewardship of Mission 44's corporate partnerships.
This role requires a candidate with demonstrable experience providing independent, day-to-day management support for a portfolio of corporate partners. The Corporate Partnerships Manager is the primary point of contact responsible for relationship management, project delivery, and detailed reporting, ensuring every partnership runs efficiently and with measurable impact.
Crucially, this role offers significant strategic exposure: supporting frontline fundraisers through high-level insight gathering and the preparation of compelling new business proposals. A unique component involves managing the internal coordination, logistics, and detailed briefing required for high-level partner touchpoints involving our Founder and Lewis Hamilton Ventures.
This is an ideal opportunity for a proactive, detail-oriented relationship manager who thrives on collaboration, takes pride in managing complex projects, and wants to contribute to bold, values-driven partnerships that deliver tangible social impact. The diverse scope of responsibilities, from hands-on delivery to strategic cultivation support, provides an exceptional foundation for a progressive career in partnerships.
