Head of Strategic Partnerships, UK

About the Role

GivenGain brings together the people and organisations driving generosity - from donors and fundraisers to causes, events, businesses, and cultural voices. With leading-edge tech and a nonprofit mission, we make giving easy, trusted, and global. As a nonprofit ourselves, we're driven by purpose, not profit, and have been shaping the world of giving for over two decades. We are looking for a bold, relationship-driven leader to take on a flagship role in the UK: building our presence, deepening our impact, and unlocking new opportunities across the UK and Europe. As Head of Strategic Partnerships UK , you'll be our lead operator in the region - a trusted partner to major events, charities, brands, and thought leaders. This is not a traditional sales or partnerships role. We're looking for a forward-thinking builder - someone who sees the big picture, thrives on connecting people and ideas, and wants to help shape the future of technology and giving. A natural storyteller with soft power and strategic vision. Someone who wants to become a recognised leader in the fundraising tech space and carry a sense of purpose with every conversation. This is one of the most exciting roles in the social impact sector today.
