Location: London - hybrid, 2 days per week in office (including Wednesdays)
Salary: £54,452.47- £66,553.01 per annum
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 a cross‑organisational approach that bridges the gap between public profile and our mission, 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.
Requirements
* Relevant experience: Proven track record of managing high‑profile partnerships with public figures and influential supporters. Demonstrate experience in long‑term stewardship and align an individual’s public platform with complex organisational goals.
* Established networks: A robust, pre‑existing network of contacts across the music, entertainment, arts, and influencer sectors. Ability to leverage these relationships to immediately identify and secure new opportunities for MSF UK.
* Active networking: Exceptional ability to network and build rapport; a natural “connector” who actively seeks new high‑profile partners to expand MSF’s reach.
* Commercial acumen: Proven track record of being commercially opportunistic; identify trends or moments in culture and swiftly turn them into partnerships or campaigns that drive financial results.
* Strategic communication: Experience delivering targeted communications strategies to elevate organisational priorities through high‑profile engagement.
* Risk & due diligence: Sound understanding of risk management, especially regarding brand alignment and reputational shielding.
* Sector knowledge: Understanding of the UK fundraising and campaigning landscape, managing requests from multiple internal teams.
* Discretion: Professional, discreet, and confident when working with high‑profile individuals and their representatives.
* Information & technology: Practical use of personal IT equipment and Microsoft Office 365 suite. Ability to collaborate and communicate within a hybrid environment using Teams, SharePoint, One Drive and Yammer.
