TLDR

We build software that helps charities, foundations and funders do their best work. We're loved by 2,000+ organisations across the

UK — and we're just getting started. We're hiring someone to grow that number by building real relationships with the people doing

the most important work in their communities.

We call this role Partnerships, not Sales. That's not spin — it's how we think about it. The organisations we work with aren't

trying to hit revenue targets; they're trying to feed kids, support carers, and run youth programmes. You need to actually care

about that, and you need to be very good at finding out what they care about.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Partnerships (core):

Grow Plinth's customer base across charities, foundations, local authorities, housing associations and NHS commissioners — in

the UK and increasingly internationally

Spend serious time with existing customers generating warm referrals; this is one of our best lead sources

Send targeted, thoughtful outreach — not mass mailouts

Confidently cold call potential leads

Go to conferences, run events, and walk straight up to people who don't want to talk to you and make them glad you did

The work itself:

Have real conversations with organisations to figure out what they're actually trying to achieve — which is harder than it

sounds when they're not just optimising for profit

Ask great questions, listen properly, and translate what you hear into why Plinth helps

Own the full pipeline from first conversation to signed contract

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Everyone we hire into the partnerships team shares a few things, and then brings one of three distinct backgrounds. You don't need

all three. You need the shared traits, and (at least) one profile that's genuinely you.

True of everyone:

You're extremely personable and genuinely outgoing. Not performs-extroversion-for-interviews outgoing. Actually outgoing.

You're a great listener. You ask the right questions and you don't rush to pitch.

You've done things no one asked you to do. You came up with an idea, built it, and it outlasted you. We want to hear those

stories.

You can get someone to agree to a meeting.

Then, one of these is you:

You know the UK sector. You've sold to councils or charities in the UK before and have a network you can bring with you from

day one.

You know the US sector. You've sold to grantmakers in the US and have a network you can bring with you from day one.

You've fundraised. You've worked as a fundraiser in the impact space and bring deep sector experience, even if selling is new

to you.

Founder's Associate

HSPG•London

HSPG is a social impact real estate company. Our mission is simple: Building partnerships, creating homes, developing communities. There is a critical shortage of affordable housing across the UK. We partner with Local Authorities and institutional investors to acquire and manage high-quality, demand-driven homes across multiple tenures. Across our Living Sector platforms, we are on track to acquire 12,000 homes by 2030. These homes are grouped into portfolios, professionally managed by our team, and funded by long-term institutional capital. We deliver this through two specialist operating platforms: Seahorse and PPHA. Seahorse acquires, develops and manages homes for homeless residents across England through its Homeless Affordable Rent product, meeting urgent housing need with professionally managed, high-quality accommodation. North Star: creating over 5,000 homes by 2029. PPHA, the Group’s Registered Provider, partners with local authorities, housebuilders and investors to deliver Section 106 and grant-funded Affordable Rent and Shared Ownership homes, expanding supply and creating lasting social value. North Star: creating homes for over 8,000 families or individuals by 2030. Together, these platforms enable HSPG to meet housing need at scale, creating meaningful social impact for customers and residents, while delivering sustainable, long-term returns for our partners. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Core behaviours ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Core Mission Your core mission is to protect the CEO’s time and thinking bandwidth by owning the detail, follow-up and exploratory work beneath current and future-facing ideas. You turn early-stage thinking into structured decisions, fast experiments or clear no-go conclusions, working with the internal teams, without slowing the wider business down. This role exists so the CEO can focus on strategy, capital and impact, while nothing slips underneath. This is a high-trust, high-standards leverage role. Not a yes-person, not a shadow executive, but a force multiplier. Make it your mission to make it fun. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Obsess You obsess over: * Clarity from ambiguity: turning half-formed ideas into structured thinking. * High-leverage output: outcomes over activity. * Relentless follow-up: nothing dropped, nothing drifting. * Commercial, mission-driven judgement: balancing impact and financial reality. * Speed from idea to action: reducing friction between thinking and execution. * If you are not obsessed with these, this role is not for you. Excel You excel at: * End-to-end ownership: taking workstreams from first question to final decision. * BLUF communication: bottom line up front, concise summary followed by relevant detail. * Sharp questioning: joining dots quickly and challenging constructively. * Operating at pace: progressing work without constant prompting or supervision. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accountability You are accountable for: * Early-stage research. * Meeting preparation, action capture and structured follow-through. * Delegating and tracking actions across internal and external stakeholders. * Owning CEO-adjacent project workstreams. You are not accountable for: * Platform P&L ownership. * People management. * Culture leadership. * Brand or marketing direction. * Operational process design across platforms. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Specific experience * Experience in investment, consulting, real estate, corporate strategy or similar high-intensity environments. * Proven experience working closely with senior decision-makers. * Strong analytical and financial modelling capability welcomed, but not essential. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Progression * This is a high-leverage launchpad role. * There is no fixed progression path, which is deliberate. * If you crush this role, you will outgrow it. * Strong performance can lead into multiple areas of the business including investment, development, capital, operations or platform leadership. * Progression is not time-based. It is impact-based. * As you demonstrate sustained leverage, ownership and judgement, wewill work with you to. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 90 day wins * Early traction and proof of control. * CEO time is materially protected from research, admin and follow-up. * 100 percent of relevant meetings captured with actions owned, delegated and tracked. * At least one initiative delivered end-to-end without CEO involvement. 12 month impact outcomes * Material impact and results within first 12 months. * CEO consistently operating at strategy, capital and impact level. * Clear track record of disciplined experimentation, ideas launched, tested, iterated or intentionally killed. * Time from idea to model to decision materially reduced across projects (utilising skills internally). * SLT confidence in leverage, reliability and execution speed materially increased. * Demonstrable business impact directly accelerated by ownership and structured follow-through These outcomes are bonus-linked and reviewed monthly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
