Partnerships Manager

About the Role

Nature is under threat, and businesses have a bigger role to play.

We're building partnerships that help companies invest in solutions for climate, biodiversity, oceans, wildlife and blue carbon while supporting their sustainability ambitions.

• Develop compelling partnership proposals that align business priorities with WWF's conservation, climate, blue carbon, education and outreach programmes.
• Build trusted relationships with senior decision-makers to grow long-term partnerships and maximise impact.
• Develop sector engagement strategies, manage a healthy pipeline of opportunities, and achieve fundraising targets.
• Collaborate across WWF teams to deliver outstanding partner experiences and continuously improve partnership performance through data and market insights.
