Relief International’s stance

In addition to some of the most unstable regions, Relief International (RI) operates in 15 nations worldwide, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen. In many cases, RI is the only organization helping extremely disadvantaged communities.

• RI employs about 5,000 staff members and support personnel.
• There are roughly 90 international (expat) employees out of the 97% local (national) employees.
• Budget for 2022 programs is roughly $130M.

For the purpose of delivering life-saving and resilience-building programming with communities and local and international partners, RI gets funding from a wide range of institutional donors, including the US, UK, Europe, and the UN. RI supports strategies that strengthen and advance native systems. The crisis response provided by RI builds the groundwork for long-lasting, sustainable change where such mechanisms are either nonexistent or persistently underperforming.

Regarding the possibility

In order to increase RI’s donor base throughout the USA, UK, Europe, and beyond, you will work closely with the Philanthropy team as part of a small, productive, and active program development team. In order to create and develop partnerships, you will collaborate closely with the head of programs, chief program officer, chief development and communications officer, and leadership team.

You will be a seasoned leader working with foundations who will provide a fresh perspective to create new avenues for fundraising and direct initiatives to develop a strategy for RI’s teams to pursue foundational support.

You will be expected to:

• To complement an already established program and donor base, strategic leadership is needed to create and implement a Foundations Partnership plan that targets medium to large foundations in the US and Europe.
• create a capture strategy, key distribution channels, and timeliness to advance yearly work plans that align Program Development resources at the global, regional, and country office levels. This will ensure that resources are available to create proposals in line with the fiscal year calendar.
• Identify and create program funding proposals in collaboration with country directors, regional directors, and philanthropy to attract grant money from foundations and corporate contributors.
• To position RI for continued development, find and maintain connections with partner institutions and foundations in the country and with INGOs.
• Co-develop proposals with the Program Development team from the beginning through the submission stage, which may involve designing, writing, and editing

• Experience with progressive senior management and partnership in foundations
• Working throughout all phases of the program development cycle with proven success
• Achievement history; strong networking abilities to support programme goals
• Excellent representational, writing, and communication abilities with a track record of crafting gripping stories
• An entertaining strategy that can spread happiness and a can-do attitude while keeping the team members concentrated on the tasks at hand
• Humility, kindness, and compassion
• want to contribute to a happy workplace
