This newly created role, the Head of Business Development & Innovation, reflects both the growing demand for CatZero’s services and our ambition to increase our impact across the Humber region. Too many young people are not in education, employment and training (NEET), while increasing numbers of families are experiencing complex challenges that affect their wellbeing, resilience and future opportunities. We believe more people could benefit from CatZero’s support, and we are seeking an ambitious and driven individual who can help us respond to this need at scale.
The postholder will lead the development of new partnerships, funding opportunities and innovative initiatives that strengthen CatZero’s long-term sustainability and expand our reach. Working across corporate partnerships, trusts and foundations, commissioned services, community fundraising and wider strategic collaborations, they will identify opportunities to diversify income, build influence and enable CatZero to support more people across the region.
Working closely with the Chief Executive and senior team, the successful candidate will combine strategic thinking with practical delivery to drive sustainable organisational growth. This is an opportunity to play a central role in shaping CatZero’s future, ensuring that income growth, partnerships and innovation remain aligned with our values, delivery capacity and ambition to create lasting change for individuals, families and communities.
