Cause Team

Cause Associate

The role

This is a rare one: a role built entirely around turning good intentions into real, on-the-ground impact. You'll sit across business development and account management, finding new cause partners and then owning those relationships once they're in. That’s intentional because these relationships are critical to the success of EARNT. You'll be the person charities and community organisations hear from most, which means you need to be as comfortable cold-outreaching a new cause as you are checking in on an existing one.

You'll need to understand the charity and community sector — how these organisations work, what they need, and how to talk to them in a way that feels like a genuine partnership, not a transaction.

To truly understand what we do, you have to understand why we do it and how it works. Everyone who works at EARNT will need to take part in our events and help across the company. From post office runs to hosting events , this is a get-stuck-in, all-hands-on-deck kind of company.

What you'll do

  • Identifying and approaching new cause partners that are a strong fit for EARNT's brand and consumer partnerships

  • Building relationships with charities, community organisations and grassroots causes focusing on London and Manchester initially but not exclusively.

  • Onboarding new causes and making sure they understand how EARNT works and what's expected of them

  • Managing ongoing relationships with existing cause partners — keeping them informed, engaged and ready to activate

  • Being the first point of contact for cause partners and flagging anything that needs escalating to the wider team

  • Keeping internal records and CRM up to date so the team always has visibility on cause pipeline and status

  • Spotting opportunities where a cause could be a stronger fit for an upcoming brand campaign and flagging it proactively

  • Feeding back what you learn from causes to help shape how EARNT grows and develops its offer

What you'll bring

  • Experience and interest in the charity, community or social impact sector. You not only need to understand how they work so we can make EARNT work for them but you also need to care about the causes you're working with

  • A network of contacts you can call on to connect us with the wider community.

  • Experience in a relationship-focused role, whether that's account management, partnerships, fundraising, or community outreach.

  • Comfortable with outreach and able to open new conversations without it feeling cold.

  • Warm, organised and dependable, causes need to feel like they're in safe hands.

  • Able to manage multiple relationships at once without losing the personal touch.

  • Proactive rather than reactive, you spot when a relationship needs attention before it becomes a problem.
