Regional Partnership Lead Wales

Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end‑of‑life charity. We are the largest non‑NHS provider of end‑of‑life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end‑of‑life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness, they’re likely to die from.

We’re looking for a resilient, self‑driven, and highly motivated Regional Partnership Lead to join our local fundraising team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a competitive, fast‑paced environment and brings experience from a commercial sales setting, a corporate partnerships role, or the charity sector. You’ll take the lead in growing local corporate income by identifying, securing, and developing high‑value partnerships across a wide range of industries helping us deliver meaningful impact for thousands of people receiving end‑of‑life care.

As Regional Partnership Lead, you’ll be a true self‑starter: proactive in building a strong prospect pipeline, confident in pitching to senior corporate stakeholders, and skilled at creating compelling cases for support. You’ll collaborate across fundraising teams, support colleagues in your region, and act as a strong ambassador for our charity within corporate and community networks. If you’re tenacious, commercially minded, and energised by securing new business, this role offers the chance to make a real difference.

• Lead on writing compelling, commercially focused proposals and pitches.
• Create and deliver imaginative employee engagement and public vote strategies.

• Proven experience in a sales, commercial, business development, or corporate partnerships environment.
• Comfortable pitching to senior corporate stakeholders in competitive settings.
• Demonstrated ability to build and manage relationships with senior decision makers.
• Excellent organisational and time management skills.
• Creative thinker with a strategic, methodical approach.
• Experience in business development, fundraising, partnerships, or similar commercial/charity roles.
• Ability to craft compelling, persuasive cases for support.
• Highly resilient, target driven, and motivated by achieving results.
• A proactive self‑starter who thrives working independently as well as collaboratively.
