Corporate Engagement Lead – South & West Lancashire and Sefton

Corporate Engagement Lead – South & West Lancashire and Sefton

Galloways has been supporting people affected by sight loss for nearly 160 years — and we’re not slowing down.

We’re now looking for a Corporate Engagement Lead to help us grow our presence, partnerships and income across Southport, Sefton, West Lancashire, South Lancashire, Chorley and surrounding areas.

This is a relationship-first, income-generating role. You’ll be developing new corporate partnerships in areas where we already deliver services, but where our corporate programme is still full of opportunity. You’ll work alongside an existing Corporate Engagement Lead (as an equal), shaping a strong, joined-up approach across Lancashire.

If you’re someone who loves getting out there, building trust, spotting opportunity and turning conversations into meaningful, long-term support — keep reading.

What this role is really about 

This role is about being visible, connected and proactive.

You’ll be:

  • Building new corporate partnerships from the ground up
  • Generating income (with the expectation of cost recovery in year one and growth year on year)
  • Developing long-term relationships that genuinely support our work and values
  • Becoming a familiar and trusted face for Galloways across your patch

The aim? To get Galloways seen, known and trusted, and bring those relationships on board as corporate supporters.

What you could be doing 

  • Developing and delivering a pipeline of new corporate partnerships across your region
  • Securing income through sponsorships, partnerships, events and membership of our 1867 Corporate Club
  • Building strong relationships with potential corporates in the area, potentially including those within the optical and healthcare community
  • Planning and delivering corporate networking and fundraising events
  • Increasing sponsorship for events, activities and services
  • Playing a key role in shaping activity around Galloways’ 160th anniversary in 2027
  • Working closely with fundraising, services and marketing & communications

This is a hands-on role — you’ll be out meeting people, opening doors, following up leads and turning interest into action.

Who we’re looking for 

You don’t necessarily need to have worked in sight loss before — but you do need to be comfortable building relationships and generating income.

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has experience in corporate fundraising, partnerships or business development
  • Is confident setting up meetings, networking, presenting and starting conversations
  • Understands how to turn relationships into sustainable support
  • Is organised, self-motivated and happy working across a defined region
  • Believes charities should be ambitious, professional and people-centred

Experience in healthcare, optics, events or the charity sector is a bonus — not a deal-breaker.

Why join Galloways? 

  • You’ll be trusted to shape and grow a region with real autonomy
  • You’ll work alongside a supportive, experienced fundraising and communications team
  • You’ll see the direct impact of your work on people affected by sight loss
  • You’ll help shape our future — including a landmark 160th anniversary in 2027

Most importantly, you’ll be part of an organisation that cares deeply about doing things properly — for the people we support, and for the people who work here.
