About us Pickle is a talent partner for fast-growing businesses.

Whether it's a critical leadership appointment or building out an entire function, we work as an extension of our clients' teams to find people who combine the right skills, mindset, and cultural fit. We believe great hiring goes beyond matching CVs to job descriptions. It's about understanding how businesses operate, what success looks like, and connecting them with people who will help them grow for the long term. About our client and the role Location: Remote first Contract: Employed, Full-time hours The company A profitable, growing UK consumer technology business operating in a high-trust financial category. The company runs a portfolio of consumer products with significant transaction volume across the UK and North America, and is building toward a next-generation platform that converts occasional, moment-driven users into habitual year-round customers. The business funds its own growth from a strong balance sheet rather than external burn, and is entering its most ambitious product phase. Charity, Mosque & Community Partnerships · UK based, Birmingham-leaning · Remote-first with regular UK travel The Role This is a new business role. You are accountable for generating and developing new charity, mosque and partnership opportunities, and for the growth those partnerships deliver on the platforms we operate. Partner agreements, fee tiers and platform access are decided by the platform owner. Your job is to find the opportunity, build the relationship, shape the commercial recommendation and carry it through onboarding into a live, performing campaign. They build and operate the technology behind MyTenNights, MyTenDays, MyFridays, MyFajr and GiveMatch, which together have facilitated hundreds of millions in donations across a global network of charities and donors.We have facilitated hundreds of millions in donations across a global network of charities and donors through MyTenNights, MyTenDays, MyFridays and GiveMatch. The infrastructure is built. The opportunity now is distribution, and this role exists to drive it. You will report to the Head of Commercial & Partnerships and own your own pipeline end to end. This is not an inbound-led role. You will build your own pipeline through proactive outbound, your existing network and face-to-face relationship building with charity, mosque and community leaders. Trust in this market is earned in person, so regular UK travel and attendance at relevant community and sector events are core parts of the job, not extras. What you will own New business generation You own the new-business number. You are accountable for generating and closing partnerships that contribute meaningful GTV and commercial value. You decide who to target, build the pipeline to reach them and close the business. Prospecting and network-led acquisition Structured outbound across email, phone, LinkedIn, events and introductions, combined with the relationships and referrals your network unlocks. You are expected to create your own opportunities and to keep creating them once early warm routes are exhausted. Face-to-face relationship building Regular time on the road across UK cities with significant Muslim and charity communities, meeting mosque committees, charity leadership and community organisations in person. You will represent the client at conferences, fundraising events and community gatherings, and turn those rooms into pipeline. Full opportunity ownership Prospecting, discovery, solution shaping, recommendation, onboarding and first campaign. You run the process, set the next step at every stage and drive opportunities forward without being chased. Commercial terms are confirmed in writing by the platform owner before they are put to a partner, and you work within the pricing framework you are given.. Recommendation and approval discipline You build the commercial case for each partner, including proposed fee tier and terms, and put it forward for approval. Getting a clean, well-evidenced recommendation approved quickly, and never committing outside an approved framework, is a core skill of this role. Pipeline and forecasting discipline Maintain a healthy qualified pipeline against target with accurate, current data in HubSpot. Every open opportunity has a clear owner, value, stage, close date and next action. Your forecast is one the business can plan against. Ecosystem selling Sell the wider client ecosystem rather than a single product. Understand what a partner is trying to achieve, identify the broader and longer-term opportunity inside the account, and position the combination of products and campaigns that delivers it. Commercial judgement Decide where your time is best spent. Prioritise organisations and segments by quality and potential value rather than volume, qualify out early when the fit is not there, and bring a view on which segments we should be pursuing next. Senior stakeholder navigation Build credibility and trust with trustees, executive directors, imams, mosque committees and community leaders. Map decision makers early, build multiple relationships within an organisation and navigate governance-heavy buying processes with patience and structure. Handover into Customer Success Close is the start, not the end. Hand over cleanly with the full context of the deal: what the partner is trying to achieve, what was promised, the campaign objectives and the expansion opportunities you identified during the sale. Feedback loop into Product and Growth You are the front line of the market. Surface recurri
