Senior Manager, Corporate Membership

We are a policy institute based in London known for rigour and vigorous independence, with a reputation built on more than a century of convening, research and proposals to solve the world’s most intractable problems. We do this through original research and by convening discussions, through our core teams, our global network of fellows and our invited guests.

At this extraordinary time in international relations, there is tremendous demand for our work. Governments, companies, civil society organisations and individuals come to us to help advance arguments and proposals about the order of the world that may emerge from the immense shifts now underway, from the rivalry between the US and China to questions about whether arms control, security, migration, new technology and the environment will be governed by agreements.

What you’ll do

Reporting to the Head of Corporate Fundraising, you will lead a small team and manage a portfolio of major corporate members and partners. You will strengthen the membership offer, drive retention and acquisition, develop compelling proposals and create opportunities to grow income across membership, briefings, events, research and strategic partnerships.

What we’re looking for

This is an excellent opportunity for a confident corporate fundraiser and relationship builder with a strong commercial mindset and a proven track record of securing and managing high-value partnerships, including six-figure agreements. You will be credible with senior stakeholders, skilled at shaping fundable propositions and motivated by the chance to grow corporate support for Chatham House’s mission.
