Director of Impact Partnerships and Philanthropy

Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in men, and by 2035 around one million men in the UK are expected to be affected. To meet that challenge, we are pursuing an ambitious long-term vision focused on earlier detection, lifesaving research, improved treatment, stronger services and tackling inequalities. Achieving that vision will require a significant expansion in the scale and depth of support behind the charity's mission. 

We are now seeking an outstanding Director of Impact Partnerships and Philanthropy to help accelerate that ambition through strategic partnerships, philanthropy and sustainable income growth. 

As a member of the Executive Leadership Team, you will lead the development and delivery of an ambitious five-year strategy that broadens and deepens relationships with major donors, philanthropists, corporate partners and foundations. You will redefine how the charity approaches modern philanthropy, creating innovative partnerships that generate shared value while increasing both impact and income. 

This is a rare opportunity to build and lead a function that will become the organisation's centre of expertise for strategic partnerships. You will develop a sustainable pipeline of transformational opportunities, identify emerging partnership models and ensure the charity is well positioned to secure long-term support from high-value audiences. As executive lead for the £100 million Raise the Game appeal, you will shape and deliver an ambitious engagement strategy that inspires lasting commitment from supporters and partners. 

We are looking for a leader with a strong track record of building high-value relationships, securing significant partnerships and developing innovative approaches to income generation. Your experience may have been gained in philanthropy, corporate partnerships, business development, commercial relationship management or another environment where strategic relationships drive reach and impact. 

You will bring outstanding relationship-building and negotiation skills, commercial acumen, strategic insight and an entrepreneurial mindset. Most importantly, you will be motivated by the opportunity to help shape the future of one of the UK's leading health charities and ensure no man is left behind.
