Retail

We create vibrant retail spaces that embrace and inspire communities. Our retail team at Save the Children have a collective vision, we’ve started disrupting the sector to deliver an innovative and sustainable future for our shop network.

In celebration of the diversity of our retail communities and all the people who work and volunteer in them, we have built a family of propositions to represent Save the Children in the most inspirational way across the UK and Online.

We provide a retail offer and channel to our supporters and mass audiences to raise income, provide a local brand experience and engage supporters in specific products/campaigns, through our retail chain and online.

We’re different from other charity retail in the way we work. While the ‘what’ across our operations are like many others in the sector, the HOW we do it is entirely different.

Our shop teams are empowered to make the right decisions around their business & proposition, while knowing when to follow guidance and best practice. By working in this way, our shop management and volunteers play a key role in supporting us to drive new approaches, rather that stagnating in what we’ve always done.

We celebrate diversity, and drive inclusivity, and this is abundantly obvious through our shops from offer and product, to design and physicality, to our people and culture.

We are sure that collectively, we can build an even greater love for our brand, with the most exciting retail experiences at the heart of all our communities.

We will be expanding our team over the next couple of years, recruiting more shop managers and building on our approach to deliver inspiring retail spaces across the UK.

If you’re excited by our vision and looking for a new role, you can review our current opportunities below.

In this role, you will work across the HLA, Save the Children UK, and external partner networks to diversify and grow income streams that strengthen locally led humanitarian action.

About Us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

About the role

As Business Development Lead, you will drive the growth and diversification of the Human Leadership Academy's charitable income. You'll lead the business development strategy, identify and cultivate new funding opportunities, and build strong partnerships that enhance HLA's financial sustainability and long-term impact. Working closely with colleagues across the HLA and wider organisation, you will be instrumental in positioning the HLA as a leading force for locally led humanitarian leadership development.

In this role, you will:

• Oversee and shape the HLA's business development pipeline, ensuring a balanced mix of funding that supports strategic and programmatic objectives.
• Identify and pursue new funding opportunities across institutional, philanthropic, and corporate markets.
• Build, manage and cultivate relationships with donors, funders and strategic partners across the humanitarian and development ecosystem.
• Coordinate the end-to-end business development process—from opportunity identification to proposal development and smooth handover into delivery.
• Work collaboratively with teams across SCUK and the international movement, ensuring strong internal alignment and representation of HLA in external forums.
• Ensure compliance with internal fundraising processes, maintaining accurate, donor-compliant and audit-ready information throughout the project cycle.

About you

To be successful, it is important that you have:

• Significant experience in institutional and/or philanthropic fundraising, with a proven track record of generating substantial income.
• Strong ability to build partnerships and develop compelling, fundable proposals with clear budgets and value propositions.
• Excellent account management skills with partners and donors across diverse sectors, including governments, institutions, private foundations and corporates such as the Clinton Foundation, Google, AWS, and ECHO, with particular experience in working with FCDO and other institutional donors.
• A solid understanding of the humanitarian system, including funding landscapes, trends, and opportunities.
• Experience managing complex bids and partnerships ideally in excess of £1 million or more.
• Resilience in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, with the ability to adapt and maintain performance under pressure.
• The ability to work proactively, flexibly, and collaboratively in an emergent, people-centred, and agile environment.
• Excellent communication and representational skills, able to articulate strategic vision and influence senior stakeholders.
• A commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission, and values.

What we offer you:

Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.

• We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
