About the Role

GivenGain brings together the people and organisations driving generosity - from donors and fundraisers to causes, events, businesses, and cultural voices. With leading-edge tech and a nonprofit mission, we make giving easy, trusted, and global. As a nonprofit ourselves, we're driven by purpose, not profit, and have been shaping the world of giving for over two decades. We are looking for a bold, relationship-driven leader to take on a flagship role in the UK: building our presence, deepening our impact, and unlocking new opportunities across the UK and Europe. As Head of Strategic Partnerships UK , you'll be our lead operator in the region - a trusted partner to major events, charities, brands, and thought leaders. This is not a traditional sales or partnerships role. We're looking for a forward-thinking builder - someone who sees the big picture, thrives on connecting people and ideas, and wants to help shape the future of technology and giving. A natural storyteller with soft power and strategic vision. Someone who wants to become a recognised leader in the fundraising tech space and carry a sense of purpose with every conversation. This is one of the most exciting roles in the social impact sector today.

What You'll Do

  • Lead GivenGain's UK presence and strategy - positioning us at the heart of tech, philanthropy, and major events
  • Source, own and grow high-impact relationships with charity partners, mass participation events, corporate brands, agencies, and content creators
  • Develop and execute long-term partnership strategies that drive fundraising success, visibility, and community engagement
  • Represent GivenGain in meetings, public forums, industry events, and media opportunities across the UK and Europe
  • Work closely with our Global Marketing, Success, and Tech teams to co-create campaigns and activations that deliver real-world results
  • Help shape and localise our messaging for UK audiences - staying culturally relevant and ahead of trends
  • Travel as needed to connect with partners, attend key events, and support global team gatherings
  • Play a key role in building a local team over time as the UK presence grows

Who You Are

  • A senior-level relationship builder with deep UK industry knowledge and networks
  • Polished communicator and natural connector - charismatic without the hard sell
  • Strategic and creative - comfortable navigating ambiguity and spotting opportunities before they're obvious
  • A team-first leader and culture builder - someone who energises others and lifts the room
  • Entrepreneurial and forward-focused - excited by innovation, inspired by purpose, and hungry to grow something meaningful
  • Based in or near London, with a willingness to travel nationally and occasionally internationally

Why Join GivenGain?

  • Be at the intersection of tech and social impact - helping raise millions for causes that matter
  • Join an international team driven by purpose, trust, autonomy, and ambition
  • Shape the future of a platform already used by some of the world's most iconic events and charities
  • Help define the UK's strategic direction and become a public voice for purpose-driven innovation

Benefits

  • Flexible hybrid work model with a strong London base - regular in-person time to build relationships and culture
  • 12 additional leave days annually to volunteer for charity
  • Regular get-togethers with our global team across Europe, the US and South Africa
  • Competitive compensation and long-term growth opportunities

Remuneration: Very competitive

Location : London (hybrid / regular in-person preferred)
