Partnerships Manager

Earthworm is a group of people who believes we can solve the big issues affecting people and nature today. We work in global supply chains impacting millions of people and places around the world to make the products we buy. We work on the ground, in forests, fields and factories, helping companies, farmers and communities find practical solutions together. And we know that, ultimately, trust and positive changes comes from people getting to work together, hands in the soil.

This role focuses on managing strategic partnerships and delivering high-impact workplans across priority commodities and markets. You will serve as a trusted advisor to members, helping them advance their sustainability ambitions while ensuring the successful delivery of programmes that create measurable impact. Acting as a key point of contact, you will coordinate expertise across Earthworm's global network, foster collaboration, and contribute to the growth and development of long-term partnerships.

As Partnership Manager your main responsibilities will be to:

• Manage the development and delivery of member partnerships and workplans, ensuring alignment with priorities, timelines, budgets, and Earthworm Foundation's vision.
• Act as a trusted day-to-day partner to members, maintaining strong relationships and ensuring clear communication.
• Coordinate collaboration across Earthworm's global network, mobilising internal expertise and field perspectives to deliver effective, integrated solutions.
• Support the growth and sustainability of partnerships by identifying opportunities, contributing to proposals, and helping to expand or renew member engagement.
• Engage and influence a diverse range of stakeholders, fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and alignment with Earthworm's values both internally and externally.

You are passionate about environmental and social responsibility, with a solid understanding of global supply chains and sourcing challenges. Ideally, you have also gained some practical or "field" experience during your career.

You are comfortable managing relationships, including with senior stakeholders, and enjoy influencing decisions to drive positive impact. A clear and confident communicator, you know how to adapt your message to your audience, combining clarity, pragmatism, and empathy.

Structured and solution-oriented, you are able to navigate complexity and translate broad or technical topics into clear, actionable insights. You enjoy finding pragmatic ways forward, even in challenging situations.

Well-organised and reliable, you can prioritise effectively, manage multiple projects in parallel, and deliver with attention to detail. Your curiosity, listening skills, and positive mindset help you build strong working relationships and contribute to a collaborative team environment.

You have experience working in global supply chains, either in the private sector or NGOs, and are comfortable operating in fast-paced, evolving, and sometimes ambiguous environments.
