The role will also take responsibility for managing relationships with key stakeholders including businesses, individual investors and entrepreneurs who support the charity as part of PJF’s Enterprise Ambassador scheme.

The Head of Development and External Relations will inherit our current ‘Enterprise Ambassador’ and strategic partnerships strategies and work closely with the charity executive to conduct a full review, before publishing and delivering against an updated strategy.
