About the position

We are looking for candidates who have contributed to successful fundraising efforts with
institutional funders (trusts/foundations/governments) previously.
This is a new role in the Coalition secretariat. You will be working closely and collaboratively with
the director and program leads who are currently responsible for fundraising. Our hope is a
dedicated fundraising person will help us increase and sustain funding for the Coalition and our
members and partners in a more strategic way.

The role requires:

• leadership, initiative, commitment and persuasion to drive it forward; empathy, patience and humility to ask for help and benefit from the relationships and
• knowledge held by our secretariat staff, members, partners, and current funders; and timeliness, organization and excellent writing skills to ensure you deliver on your core responsibilities of drafting proposals and reporting.
• The bulk of the role will be focused on fundraising for the programmatic work of the Coalition secretariat and our regranting programs. However, the role will also include a solidarity
• fundraising component whereby you will leverage our funding relationships and expertise for the benefit of member and partner organizations, especially at the grassroots level

About our team and ways of working

We are a collaborative, trust-based, horizontal team, who work remotely from across the Global
South/Majority World. We respect each other, communicate openly with compassion, and set and
respect boundaries. We are deeply motivated by our mission and enjoy working with each other
and our members and partners. We each tend to set our own flexible working hours and are
empowered to complete our work independently. But we also value working consultatively and
collaboratively.

Unfortunately, given our geographic spread, once or twice a week (and occasionally more) we
end up having to work later in the evening and/or earlier in the morning to coordinate with
colleagues (including donors) in other timezones. For example, our full team meetings take place
every alternate week from 1300 hrs UTC to 1500 hrs UTC. In addition, this position will require
you to work synchronously for at least 3 hrs/day between 500 hrs UTC and 1230 hrs UTC, to
ensure your work hours overlap with the director and key program leads.
