Write compelling funding applications and proposals. Build strong partner relationships with grant funders, creating meaningful opportunities for ongoing engagement with our work as appropriate. Ensure effective reporting on impact, working closely with SHiFT's learning and practice teams to support accuracy and effectiveness. Build a sustainable pipeline of grant opportunities aligned with SHiFT's strategy. Corporate Partnerships: Identify and develop partnerships with corporate organisations aligned with the charity's mission, with a clear analysis of the cost/benefit potential of each relationship. Secure financial and in-kind support from businesses across sectors such as food, retail, logistics, education, community impact and opportunities for the children and families SHiFT works with. Develop partnership proposals and sponsorship opportunities. Manage relationships with corporate partners and ensure strong stewardship and impact reporting. Impact and Reporting: Work closely with SHiFT's learning and practice teams to proactively gather data, case studies and outcomes information.

Experience in working with senior leaders such as high net worth individuals, foundation trustees, corporate board members. Experience in funded collaboration with public services.

COMMITMENT TO EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION SHiFT is committed to building an anti-racist, anti-oppressive and inclusive organisation.
