Partnerships Lead at Plinth.uk

As the first US hire for Plinth.org.uk, you will spearhead the company’s American expansion. You will leverage your existing philanthropy network to identify pain points for community foundations and private grantmakers. Reporting to the CEO, you’ll own the entire sales cycle—from high-touch outreach and event networking to closing high-impact deals.

• Execute a high-touch outreach strategy targeting US foundations, prioritizing thoughtful, relationship-based engagement and confident cold calling over mass automation.
• Own the end-to-end sales pipeline, representing Plinth.org.uk at major philanthropy conferences and hosting targeted events to build deep trust with key decision-makers.
• Collaborate directly with the UK-based CEO to refine market entry while nurturing relationships with early US consulting clients to generate warm referrals.

• Possesses a callable professional network within US philanthropy, specifically with program officers and grants managers at community, private, or corporate foundations.
• Demonstrates a proven track record of independent initiative, ideally having built programs or systems from scratch in an ambiguous, startup-like environment.
• Exhibits exceptional listening skills and the ability to navigate mission-driven sales cycles where long-term social impact is the primary client motivator.

• Join a proven UK market leader as their first US employee, with the unique opportunity to build the American market strategy from the ground up.
• Enjoy immense autonomy and founder-level freedom to shape the US playbook without the constraints of a rigid corporate sales engine.
• Benefit from a high-reward commission structure where you keep 50% of the new ARR you bring in during your first year.
