• Ensure each corporate partnership has a contract in place that is fit for purpose.
• Prepare and administer income/expenditure plans and forecasts for accounts managed, working with the Senior Corporate Partnership Manager to ensure they come in on budget.
• Supervise any team volunteers as directed by the Head of Corporate Partnerships or Senior Corporate Partnership Manager.
