Job Details

The role

• Identify and approach trade associations, guilds, chambers and professional bodies in your region.
• Secure a meeting with the executive, present Sankofa Job, and negotiate a member onboarding agreement.
• Attend association meetings and arrange to address the membership directly.
• Convert signed agreements into registered employers, because an agreement that produces no registrations has delivered nothing.
• Maintain the relationship after signing, with a scheduled contact at least monthly.
• Deliver three signed agreements in your first quarter and at least forty registered employers arising from them.

Requirements

• A completed degree and completion of national service.
• Comfortable presenting to a room of twenty or more people.
• Able to write a clear follow up letter without supervision.

That network stays yours. • Named credit on every agreement you secure, and a written reference listing them. • Growth pathway. This role leads to Partnerships Manager, and then to Head of Institutional Relations as the association programme scales to forty agreements.
