The Partnerships and Philanthropy Manager will play a key role in helping us achieve this commitment by identifying funding opportunities and building relationships with trusts, foundations and the private sector across a number of geographies. The role has an international focus, building partnerships with corporate and foundation donors outside of our established fundraising markets (Ireland, UK, USA, and South Korea), to fund key elements of Concern’s work overseas. The post holder will need to build strong internal relationships with Concern’s international programme teams in order to develop a deep understanding of our work and identify a range of funding opportunities.
The Partnerships and Philanthropy Manager will also work with internal and external stakeholders to explore new funding models that have the potential to support Concern’s work. This will involve the identification and testing of new models for collaboration and support to enable Concern to more effectively achieve its mission.

- Work closely with colleagues across various directorates to develop compelling cases for support for partnership with the private sector and trust funders.
- Manage relationships with funders and partners, ensuring timely reporting on impact and key success metrics. This will include the co-ordination of internal stakeholders to ensure that partner contract terms and expectations are met and there is a clarity around roles of responsibilities, budgets, activity and reporting frameworks across all stakeholders.
- Play a lead role in identifying and testing new models for collaboration with the private sector and international funders that enable Concern to more effectively achieve its mission. This includes playing a lead role in Concern’s Carbon Financing Working Group.
- Collaborate across Concern’s international offices in the development of private sector relationships and lead the implementation of Concern’s private sector engagement strategy.
- Represent Concern on external and partner forums, and use these forums to generate quality leads in new markets for Concern, including meeting with potential new supporters and presenting both the organisation’s work and specific programme-focused work to them.
