Partnerships Manager

The Partnerships Manager will play a pivotal role in delivering Youth Futures Foundation's Employer Strategy. You will embed and scale evidence-based practice across employer networks to create systemic change in how employers recruit, develop and retain young people. This role focuses on influencing employer behaviour at scale - using evidence, partnerships and networks to embed the evidence of what works across organisations, sectors and places. It does not involve delivering employability support or 1:1 services to employers or young people., You will be skilled at:

• Influencing organisational or systems-level change
• Translating research and evidence into practical action
• Working through partnerships, intermediaries and networks to achieve scale.
You will work with employer organisations, networks, sector bodies and system actors to ensure that Youth Futures' evidence shapes decision-making, practice and investment - improving young people's access to good work over the long term. You will have a passion for tackling youth unemployment and a strong interest in equity, diversity and inclusion issues. This role can be based at our Birmingham, Leeds or London hub. We currently operate a hybrid model of two-days per week in the office and three-days from home.
