An exciting opportunity has arisen to join SSAFA’s ambitious and dynamic Corporate Partnerships team. We are looking for an experienced and highly proactive Corporate Account Manager to manage our growing portfolio of strategic partnerships.

About the role

We are looking for someone to lead on the successful delivery of corporate partnerships. It will be your responsibility to deliver the account management elements, ensuring all commitments are delivered whilst identifying opportunities to increase the value of long-standing relationships.

Working closely with a wide range of stakeholders, you will plan and execute an annual programme of content, reporting, volunteering, fundraising activities, and events to ensure the objectives of the partnership are achieved. As well as being responsible for the timely and successful delivery of all activities, you will continually look for new ways that your partners can support SSAFA.

About you

We are seeking an experienced senior officer or manager who brings significant account management experience and is target driven, a self-starter and has a record of growing long-term partnerships. If you have excellent communication and relationship building skills along with the initiative to maximise every opportunity within a partnership, then we would love to hear from you.

We are keen to find the right person for the role, and therefore happy to discuss flexible working patterns such as compressed hours or early/late start times. We have a remote working policy, with occasional travel into the London office. You will need to regularly represent the charity at events and visit the offices of corporate partners so flexibility and the willingness to travel is essential.

About SSAFA

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is a trusted source of support for serving personnel, veterans and their families in their time of need. In 2022 our trained teams of volunteers and employees helped more than 59,000 people, including veterans, serving personnel (regulars and reserves) and their families.

SSAFA understands that behind every uniform is a person. And we are here for that person and their family, any time they need us and in any way, they need us.

Diversity and Inclusion at SSAFA 

SSAFA exists to support a diverse range of beneficiaries within the armed forces community, and we believe diversity within our teams is key to ensuring we can deliver our services effectively. We thrive on differences and believe it is critical to our success as a worldwide charity. SSAFA is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace that seeks to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We therefore encourage applications from all genders, races, religions, ages and sexual orientations, as well as parents, veterans, people living with disabilities, and any other groups that could bring diverse perspectives to our business.
