About us

Practical Action is a change making organisation that works in unconventional ways. We put ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world.

We do things differently, so answers that start small can grow big – bringing people together in bold collaborations, using innovation and knowledge to build futures free from poverty and help shape a world that works better for everyone.

About the role

This position sits within our highly successful Strategic Business Development team, whose role is to support our teams across the world to identify, engage and win funding from some of the largest and most high-profile donors.

Working with colleagues from across the organisation, your focus will be on leading and winning medium-sized opportunities, from existing and new donors. Who these donors are is dependent on the skills and experience you can bring to the role.

You need to be self-confident, highly organised and a confident problem solver.  And whilst you will need to be passionate for the cause, you also need to be a calm head when things get busy.

The role occasionally requires very intense periods of working – either where you are based or in the country where the bid is being developed. The ability to flex a working schedule and to travel occasionally is a requirement of this role.

Accountabilities

• Deliver exceptional relationship management for a portfolio of existing projects and donors, where the donor relationship is UK-led.
• Research, identify, engage and lead on winning medium-sized opportunities, from existing and new donors.
