Job Purpose:
MSF UK is seeking an experienced, strategic and collaborative Ambassador Relations Manager to lead our approach to high-profile partnerships. We are looking for an entrepreneurial and commercially minded leader who can identify fundraising and awareness-raising potential in every interaction and translate high-profile partnerships into life-saving humanitarian impact.
As a central strategic resource, you will develop and lead on a cross-organisational approach that bridges the gap between public profile and our mission, whether through fundraising, advocacy, or brand awareness. You will build and curate a diverse portfolio of high-profile supporters - from the arts and entertainment sectors to thought leaders and commentators - ensuring that every partnership is rooted in MSF’s core values and authentically champions our medical humanitarian work.
Knowledge, Skills and Experience
* Relevant experience: Proven track record of managing high-profile partnerships with public figures and influential supporters. You will demonstrate experience in long-term stewardship and the ability to align an individual’s public platform with complex organisational goals
* Established networks: A robust, pre-existing network of contacts across some of the music, entertainment, arts, and influencer sectors. The ability to leverage these relationships to immediately identify and secure new opportunities for MSF UK is essential.
* Active networking: An exceptional ability to network and build rapport; the successful candidate will be a natural "connector" who actively seeks out new high-profile partners to expand MSF’s reach.
* Commercial acumen: A proven track record of being commercially opportunistic; the ability to identify a trend or a moment in culture and swiftly turn it into a partnership or campaign that drives financial results.
* Strategic communication: Experience delivering targeted communications strategies to elevate organisational priorities through high-profile engagement.
* Risk & due diligence: A sound understanding of risk management, particularly regarding brand alignment and reputational shielding.
* Sector knowledge: Understanding of the UK fundraising and campaigning landscape, including managing requests from multiple internal teams.
* Discretion: Professional, discreet, and confident when working with high-profile individuals and their representatives.
* Information & technology: Experience in the practical use of personal IT equipment and Microsoft Office 365 suite. The ability to effectively collaborate and communicate within a hybrid working environment utilising Teams, SharePoint, One Drive and Yammer.
