The Vacancy

The Programme Development Manager is committed to supporting colleagues and partners in programme design and development. The team also connects programmatic issues and global policy and advocacy to ensure they are complementary and conducive to external change based on evidence from the ground.

Saferworld’s income is secured primarily from statutory and institutional donors; however, securing funding to support our partners in conflict-affected countries and allow for more flexible programming increasingly requires a more diverse funding base. The Programme Development Manager will support efforts to identify and secure funds from statutory donors, trusts and foundations, and other non-traditional funding mechanisms.

The Programme Development Manager will support a portfolio of Saferworld’s teams in designing and mobilising funding for peace, security and justice programmes. The successful applicant will have a focus of approximately 4 countries, which will be decided based on the candidate’s experience and preference. Working closely with Country Managers/Directors, and programme and grant management colleagues, the post-holder will lead on: coordinating and facilitating programme development processes (including taking the lead in drafting high quality concept notes and proposals, theories of change, logical models, risk matrixes and budgets); developing and supporting the implementation of long-term country funding strategies and donor engagement strategies; and supporting new donor engagement and sustaining relationships with current donors. The post-holder will be responsible for growing institutional funding portfolios in our programmes.

The post-holder will have a successful track record in developing programmes and leading new business development efforts with institutional donors such as the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), United States Government (USG)/United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the European Union (EU), UN agencies and European Governments such as Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). Additional experience in mobilising resource from trusts and foundations and other non-traditional funding mechanisms is desirable.

They will have proven skills and experience in programme management and support, successful programme design processes and bid leadership.

About Charity Entrepreneurship

Our research team spends more than 5,000 hours a year identifying new solutions to tackling global inequalities - from improving education quality and job opportunities for people living in poverty to reducing environmental pollution and newborn mortality rates. We then find people like you with a drive to make the world a better place and the talent to build new organisations producing a sea change in our ability to help the world’s poorest and most vulnerable. Think startups, but solely focused on making the world a better place.

Since 2018, we’ve launched almost 50 new organisations through this program, providing new founders like you with more than £3 million in seed funding. These organisations are doing incredible work across the world, saving and improving thousands of lives every single year. GiveWell (effectively the Oscars of charity work) has recommended our charities as some of the very best in the world - improving lives more effectively than thousands of other, better-known charities. 

To take one example, the Lead Exposure Elimination Project (LEEP) was founded through our program in 2021 by Lucia Coulter and Jack Rafferty - a former doctor and former consultant - with just £50,000 in funding. LEEP now operates in more than 20 countries, partnering with governments from Malawi to Pakistan. Their work is projected to save 46 million children from lead paint exposure over the coming decades. 

While lead has been recognised and regulated as a dangerous substance in many wealthy countries for decades, it’s sadly far too common in many developing nations. As such, it’s one of the biggest causes of lower learning in school and reduced lifetime earnings, cementing cycles of poverty before many have even reached adolescence.

Applying for our program

Through partner projects, video lectures, and discussion groups, our program will teach you everything you need to know to launch a field-leading charity. You’ll learn while creating the building blocks for your own charity, from a review of the evidence base to drawing up a plan for your first year and an initial operating budget. 

What we offer

• 2-month full-time online training with 2 weeks in-person in London.

• Zero fees, with a stipend of £1,900 per month during (and potentially up to 2 months after) the program

• Matching you to a talented cofounder to lead your organisation with

• An average of £100,000 in seed funding for each organisation we launch

• Initial operations support and ongoing mentorship

• Co-working space in our London office

• A community of previous founders, mentors, and potential donors to help you succeed

We encourage anyone with a drive to direct their work to producing real, positive change to apply. There are no mandatory skills or experience - we’ve had founders from every continent, from twenty to mid-fifties, and from almost every type of prior job you can think of. Some of the world’s most successful for-profit founders had no prior experience. Our experience training charity founders suggests the same applies to the non-profit world. 

Applications to our program are open until March 24th.

Not sure if you’re the right fit? The best way to find out is to submit our initial application form.

We’re also hosting a series of online information sessions - about the program, our research, and what it’s like to found your own organisation - that we encourage you to attend to learn more in the run-up to the application deadline.

About This Role 

Over the last seven years we have grown into a recognised leader in the fight for menstrual equity. This is underpinned by a strong and diverse fundraising programme at Bloody Good Period, along with a distinctive, stand-out brand which is frequently sought out for high profile partnerships from partners across industries. We raise c£750K per annum, which delivers our impactful programme of work to meet immediate menstrual health needs via providing period products and menstrual education, and campaigning for long-term change so that we (ultimately) no longer have to do this work. 

We are searching for a new Fundraising Officer at Bloody Good Period to help us deliver an expanded programme of fundraising in 2025 and beyond. The Fundraising Officer will play a pivotal role in delivering public fundraising, as well as supporting the Fundraising Manager on corporate and major donor fundraising, maximising opportunities to grow BGP’s income. 

We are an inclusive, feminist organisation, which champions remote and flexible working, and puts self-care at the heart of what we do. We offer a specific leadership and development programme for BPOC members of the team to develop their careers within the social justice space, and a wellbeing fund to support every team member. We work hard and deliver, but we do not overwork. We enjoy our work and take pride in it. 

We strongly encourage applications from Black and People of Colour, and from those who have lived experience of the issues on which we work, namely period poverty or menstrual inequity. 

While the successful candidate will be selected purely on merit, in the event of a tie between two candidates with equal suitability, we may select a candidate with lived experience of the issues we are seeking to address through our work. 

We recognise that many potential candidates who bring the voice and lived experience that we need, may have had less opportunity to develop a track record in these roles. Bloody Good Period prioritises the development needs of everyone who works with us, including in this role.
