What do you need to know about More?

• Impact is what drives us – the impact we have on our clients, and the impact their organisations have on the world. That could mean saving lives through ground-breaking scientific research, realising the potential of children from disadvantaged backgrounds by enabling them to access life-changing education, bringing divided communities together through the universal language of art and music... and so much more.

• We all have a share in our success. Our team comes from diverse backgrounds but we have in common a special way of doing and being, exemplified in our values. We are partners in purpose, and since April 2020, equal owners of our firm. This means that each member of our team has a say in the decisions we make, a share in our success and a responsibility to push us forward.

• Our people are our strength. More Partnership is a thriving small company whose growth has come from recruiting highly talented people and working together to be the best we can be – both individually and as part of the team. As a result, recruitment is critically important to us and we take it very seriously.

About the role

Becoming a Consulting Partner at More Partnership is an opportunity to operate at the highest level of our profession, working as a trusted advisor to senior leaders across complex institutions and internationally recognised organisations. This is a senior appointment within our highest consulting band, intended for individuals who already bring significant credibility, judgement and impact within fundraising, advancement or related strategic leadership roles.

You will contribute to some of the firm’s most ambitious and high-profile work, shaping strategy, guiding senior stakeholders and helping clients navigate complex organisational challenges. Consulting Partners are expected to operate with confidence and autonomy, taking responsibility for major client relationships, contributing to complex and high-value projects, and playing a visible role in generating opportunities for the firm. Alongside client work, all Partners contribute actively to the leadership, culture and development of our employee-owned company.

We are looking for people who are motivated by meaningful impact and who share our values and collaborative ethos. You may already have consultancy experience, or you may be looking to apply your leadership experience in a consultancy environment for the first time. In either case, you will bring the judgement, credibility and intellectual flexibility to operate effectively with senior stakeholders, often in complex or ambiguous environments. We value people who combine strategic insight with pragmatism, communicate clearly and influence effectively, and who are energised by the opportunity to shape both client outcomes and the future direction of the firm.

The experiences and competencies we look for

We are seeking individuals who can operate credibly at the highest levels of large and complex institutions, bringing both strategic perspective and practical understanding to client work. Candidates are likely to have significant experience of leading fundraising or advancement programmes, advising senior leadership teams, shaping organisational strategy, or delivering major institutional initiatives.

What tends to unite our colleagues is a combination of professional confidence, personal humility, intellectual curiosity and a strong commitment to delivering meaningful impact for clients. We value people who are analytical, collaborative and thoughtful, and who approach challenges from first principles, balancing experience with evidence, curiosity and the perspectives of colleagues. A strong consultancy mindset is essential at this level, including the ability to synthesise complex information, shape credible solutions and communicate advice clearly and persuasively to senior audiences.

Successful candidates will also bring the ability to build trusted relationships and contribute commercially to the firm through networks, reputation and long-term partnerships that generate opportunities for impact. At the same time, More is a highly collaborative environment, and we work predominantly in teams that bring together complementary expertise from across the firm.

In summary, we are looking for senior leaders with strong judgement, enquiring minds and the ability to translate experience and insight into advice that makes a meaningful difference. We are also committed to broadening the diversity of our community and particularly welcome candidates whose experiences, perspectives and approaches will strengthen and enrich the way we work together.

Diversity and inclusion at More Partnership
In partnership with our clients, we demonstrate every day that philanthropy is a powerful force for advancing equality, diversity, and inclusion. A society with these ideals is better for us all. This is central to our work across continents.

It is also fundamental to how we do it. Diversity and inclusion are threaded through our values. This commitment is expressed, for example, through the assignments we select to undertake, and in our daily interactions with clients and with each other. Above all, at our heart we are a democratic, participative, and inclusive company. Each member of our team, whether they are a consultant, or behind the scenes in our busy central team, has an equal say in the decisions we make. Our culture is shaped by the joy we discover in our individual differences, life experiences, self-expression, and talents. All our consultants have a relentless appetite to learn and to grow – and to challenge themselves. We do this best when we connect with diverse perspectives, experiences, and ideas; those that come from within our community, and from our clients.

We have started a process to better understand our staff diversity, so we can consider how to improve it. This includes, but isn’t limited to, recognising that we currently have a higher proportion of males compared with females; that we lack ethnic diversity; and that we also that we need to ensure we are an attractive and inclusive employer for people with disabilities. We are committed to encouraging and nurturing interest in these roles from those groups currently under-represented in our community.
