As a Partnership Development Coordinator you will support us in developing partnerships with organisations that can benefit from our services or collaborate on shared goals.

What will you be doing?

Bridging Beyond works to build understanding and empathy across differences through workshops, events, and other initiatives. A key part of this work involves developing partnerships with organisations that can benefit from these services or collaborate on shared goals.

In this role, you will play an essential role in identifying and establishing partnerships with businesses, community groups, and other organisations. These partnerships may involve Bridging Beyond providing workshops or services—either free or paid—as well as other forms of collaboration that support mutual aims. By developing strong relationships with external partners, this role will help expand Bridging Beyond’s reach, strengthen its impact, and ensure that its programmes connect with the communities and organisations that need them most.

This role offers an opportunity to contribute to meaningful social change while gaining experience in outreach, negotiation, and partnership management.

What are we looking for?

Personal Attributes:

  • Proactive and Goal-Oriented – You take initiative and are motivated to actively develop and secure partnerships, not just explore opportunities.
  • Confident and Persuasive Communicator – You can effectively engage with organisations, articulate Bridging Beyond’s mission, and build strong professional relationships.
  • Strategic Thinker – You can assess potential partnerships, understand mutual benefits, and negotiate agreements that align with both parties' goals.
  • Organised and Detail-Oriented – You can track outreach efforts, manage partnership agreements, and ensure commitments are followed through.
  • Adaptable and Resilient – You are comfortable navigating different organisational structures, adjusting approaches as needed, and persisting through challenges.

Skills and Experience:

  • Networking and Relationship Management – Experience or confidence in engaging with external organisations, whether through outreach, business development, fundraising, or partnership-building.
  • Communication and Negotiation Skills – Ability to initiate conversations, build rapport, and secure commitments from potential partners.
  • Project Coordination – Some experience managing agreements, tracking commitments, and ensuring partnerships are maintained effectively.
  • Research and Outreach – Ability to identify potential partners, research their alignment with Bridging Beyond’s mission, and craft compelling outreach messages.
  • Technical Skills – Basic familiarity with Google Workspace and spreadsheets to manage partnership contacts and agreements.

This role offers an opportunity to develop skills in partnership-building, outreach, and negotiation while contributing to meaningful social change.

What difference will you make?

In this role, you will help Bridging Beyond expand its impact by identifying, developing, and securing partnerships with businesses, community organisations, and other potential collaborators. You will research and reach out to prospective partners, initiate conversations, and build strong relationships that align with Bridging Beyond’s mission.

Your work will involve establishing formal partnerships where Bridging Beyond provides workshops or services—either free or paid—as well as other forms of collaboration that support mutual goals. You will also manage partnership agreements, ensuring that commitments are fulfilled and relationships are maintained effectively.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys networking, strategic thinking, and working with organisations to create meaningful, long-term collaborations.
