We’re looking for a Senior Business Development Associate to join our Sales team, based in London. An exciting opportunity to join a fast-scaling, socially-driven organisation and progress your career in sales.

At Enthuse, we’re on a mission to transform digital fundraising by building the technology that empowers great causes. Our donations, event registration, and fundraising platform helps thousands of charities raise millions. 

Launched in 2012, we’ve come a long way — we’ve grown the team to over 70 people and now serve thousands of charities. Enthuse is headquartered in London, with operations in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. What's more, Enthuse is the official online fundraising partner for London Marathon Events and Great Run. 

The successful candidate will be joining at a particularly exciting moment in our journey. Enthuse is now part of Access Group, sitting within its dedicated Not for Profit division — a business that already serves thousands of charities, housing associations and social care organisations across the UK. This means Enthuse benefits from the scale, resource and expertise of one of the UK's leading business management software providers, whilst continuing to focus on what it does best — empowering great causes through innovative digital fundraising technology.
