The Role

Oxfam GB is looking for a New Partnerships Manager (Trusts and Foundations) to join the Philanthropy, Partnerships and Ambassadors team. This is an exciting position in a high-performing, supportive and ambitious team.

You will be responsible for developing new impact-focused partnerships with Trusts and Foundations in the UK and overseas, resulting in funding for Oxfam’s life-saving and life-changing work.
