Our Team

Scope of Role

The Manager is accountable for managing a portfolio of relationships with charitable partners and collaborating charities. With a significant focus on organisational development as a
Foundation, the Manager enables funded partners to become more resilient and stronger so they can thrive beyond the period of their relationship with us. The postholder will do this by
building trusted relationships with organisations to support them in identifying their most pressing organisational challenges; and help them overcome the challenges by building the
knowledge, skills and capabilities of staff and trustees. The Manager works with the charity, CIC or collaborating charities to identify the most appropriate form of support to respond to the priorities identified.

The role is responsible for building and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders including connecting with networks to identify and optimise collaborative learning and sharing
practice. The postholder will also play a pivotal role in sharing learning, intelligence and insights to ensure the Foundations’ strategy development, delivery and relationship with the Lloyds
