BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
ROLE PURPOSE:

The Business Development Manager is a senior leadership position within the Programme Development & Quality team.
The Business Development Manager will identify and track donor opportunities, facilitate donor engagement, assist in the development of fundraising strategies, and coordinate proposal development for large and strategic funding opportunities.
The position requires innovative thinking and creativity to package our programme strategies in ways that attract the right donor support and grow out portfolio effectively.
She will write sections of proposals that speak to our overall capabilities, while coordinating the input of technical advisors, Operations, Finance, HR and Security into proposals and budgets. Recognising that many conversations with donors involve a review or update around current grants as well as discussions about new opportunities, the Business Development Manager will also be expected to keep closely informed about the progress of all major institutional grants and able to speak to results in key reporting documents.
80% of this job is dedicated to managing the new business development (i.e. growth of the country office portfolio), and proposal writing/ coordination function with CO team, Members and RO teams.

SCOPE OF ROLE:

Reports to: Director of Programme Development & Quality

Dimensions: Save the Children has supported children in Mali for over 35 years.
We provide support to children through developmental and humanitarian relief programmes delivered both directly and through local partners.
Current programming focuses on child protection, child rights governance, education, health, livelihoods, nutrition and WASH. Save the Children has an operational presence in Sikasso, Koulikoro, Kayes, Mopti, Gao, Timbuktu and Segou. Currently, we have a staff complement of approximately 350 staff and an annual average budget of US$20 million.
