- Location: Newport, Saffron Walden, office-based initially with flexible working options
- Contract: Permanent
- Line reports: Fundraising Manager and Journalism Skills Academy Manager

About The Role
This is a pivotal senior leadership role at the heart of NCTJ’s growth strategy – and is not your typical charity role.
It’s a chance to lead on large-scale projects, shape commercial strategy, and build partnerships that make a real difference, while working alongside a passionate and supportive team. As Head of Business Development, you’ll lead on identifying and securing revenue opportunities while forming strategic partnerships that support their mission and charitable objectives. You’ll manage two direct reports, the Fundraising Manager and Journalism Skills Academy Manager, and work closely with the Chief Executive and senior leadership team to align business development with organisational strategy.
This role covers a broad and exciting remit including:
- Business growth and revenue generation
- Commercial partnerships and industry engagement
- Strategic leadership and operational management
You’ll be negotiating high-value partnerships, exploring international growth opportunities, and leading on innovative training initiatives including digital and AI-driven programmes. You’ll also oversee fundraising efforts to support key initiatives like the Community News Project and the Journalism Diversity Fund.
About You
We’re looking for a commercially minded leader with a proven track record in business development and revenue generation. You’ll be a strategic thinker with the ability to spot growth opportunities, build high-value partnerships, and expand NCTJ’s impact. With strong leadership and stakeholder management skills, you’ll inspire a small team and engage confidently with media organisations, funders, and industry partners. You’ll bring commercial acumen, project management expertise, and a deep appreciation of the journalism and media landscape, including digital transformation and AI.
Above all, you’ll be a clear communicator, a problem-solver, and someone who’s passionate about equality, diversity, and inclusion in journalism.
If you’re commercially savvy, passionate about journalism, and ready to make a real impact, this is the role for you.
