Partnerships Executive (Sales Specialist)

<h2><strong>TLDR</strong></h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">We build software that helps charities, foundations and funders do their best work. We're loved by 2,000+ organisations across the UK — and we're just getting started. We're hiring someone to grow that number by building real relationships with the people doing the most important work in their communities.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We call this role Partnerships, not Sales. That's not spin — it's how we think about it. The organisations we work with aren't trying to hit revenue targets; they're trying to feed kids, support carers, and run youth programmes.
