Are you a creative self-starter and a skilled communicator who sets high personal expectations and continues to deliver against them? Can you translate a vision into an operational plan? Do you learn quickly and relish a challenge? If so, you might just have found your dream job.
Norfolk Community Foundation is looking to appoint a Corporate Giving Advisor in this newly created role that will build on the Foundation’s experience of working with local businesses to drive forward corporate giving in Norfolk.
About the role
The Corporate Giving Advisor builds on many years worth of building business partnerships through our Norfolk ProHelp scheme, helping to create a network of Norfolk businesses aspiring to ‘do good’ in their local community.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Working with the NCF team, lead the evaluation of the current NCF business offer through interviewing existing and prospective partners to understand opportunities and aspirations of business engagement, helping to develop and refine the NCF corporate giving offer
- Supporting the brand and messaging of the business programme and what it offers, as well as establishing and attending launch events to communicate the programme and inspire wider engagement
- Designing and implementing mechanisms to regularly record the activity and tell the story of the impact of both individual businesses and the overall programme successes
- Representing NCF at external events to promote the wider work of NCF
About you
We are looking for someone who is an articulate and inspiring communicator able to make the complex idea accessible to all, and is quick to learn and naturally inquisitive to find out more.
You will be able to work at pace both within a team and when operating alone, as well as have experience in translating a vision into an operational plan.
Being happy to lead from the front but able to actively listen and ‘hear’ potential opportunities and challenges and respond with appropriate opportunities is a key part of this role, as is the ability to follow policy and procedure. Knowledge of community groups and charities or a keen interest and willingness to learn is important.
