Every connection starts with 1Gesture
They choose it. You fund it. Good people deliver it.


1Gesture

When you meet people who matter, connection starts with 1Gesture.

1Gesture funds charities. We're looking for a confident, relationship-driven volunteer to grow our network of funded partners find the right charities, decide who joins, and agree the gesture each offers in return for a set donation. We bring the funding; you choose who gets it.

What difference will you make?

Every partnership you close directly expands what 1Gesture can offer and brings new income to good causes. You'll be building our partner network from the ground up, with real ownership over which charities we work with and the deals we strike. Your work is the difference between a handful of partners and a thriving marketplace of charities and gestures - more ways for people to give, and more money reaching the causes that need it.

What are we looking for?

Essential

Strong communication and relationship-building skills; comfortable starting conversations with people you don't yet know.

Experience in partnerships, business development, sales, fundraising or account management (in any sector).

A persuasive, consultative style you listen first, then negotiate towards a deal that works for both sides.

Organised and self-directed, able to manage a pipeline and follow through without close supervision.

Nice to have

Experience in or with the charity, CIC or nonprofit sector.

An existing network of charity or fundraising contacts.

Comfortable working remotely and asynchronously with simple online tools.

Remote

What will you be doing?

You'll own the full partnership cycle, from first contact to signed agreement. The work falls into four areas

Find  research and identify charities whose cause and supporters are a strong fit for 1Gesture.

Engage  reach out to decision-makers (partnerships, fundraising and CEO contacts), open warm and genuine conversations, pitch the 1Gesture model and handle questions with confidence.

Negotiate and close  agree the specifics of each partnership, the gesture the charity will offer and the donation cost attached to it, then close the deal with both sides clear on what has been agreed.

Keep the pipeline moving  keep our CRM up to date so the pipeline stays accurate, and feed back what you learn so we can sharpen the offer.
