Job Description:

We are seeking a high-velocity and diplomatically elite Business Development & Strategic Partnership Manager to anchor the expansion of the Famkris Healthcare Initiative (FHCI) Country Office. In the complex landscape of international development, success is defined by "Resource Sovereignty"—the ability to harmonize proactive donor research with the clinical precision required for bilateral/multilateral funding, strategic mapping, and proposal architecture. This role is designed for a "Growth Architect" with at least 7 years of NGO/INGO experience who can blend "Grant-Writing Grit" (drafting concept notes) with the "Executive Diplomacy" required to influence government, private sector, and development partners.

Requirements:

1. Resource Orchestration & Business Development

• Mobilization Sovereignty: Lead the design and execution of FHCI’s Resource Mobilization strategy, identifying and capturing diverse funding streams from foundations, institutional, and multilateral donors.

• Proposal Architecture: Oversee the end-to-end proposal development process, ensuring all submissions are "Donor-Responsive," compliant with internal standards, and technically millimetric.

• Agreement Diplomacy: Support the negotiation and signing of new funding agreements, acting as the primary professional bridge between FHCI and global funding agencies.

2. Strategic Partnership & Network Synergy

• Ecosystem Mapping: Carry out periodic strategic mapping to identify and appraisal potential partners, ensuring "Risk-Adjusted" collaborations with civil society and government bodies.

• Philanthropic Advocacy: Promote policies and frameworks that encourage sustainable resourcing and philanthropy, advancing FHCI’s mission within the African context.

• Stakeholder Stewardship: Build and maintain high-fidelity relationships with FHCI’s networks, providing timely support to donors and ensuring "Zero-Friction" communication.

3. Capacity Architecture & Team Governance

• Talent Evolution: Establish capacity-building systems to develop resource mobilization competencies across the staff, utilizing coaching and mentoring to ensure organizational sustainability.

• Performance Governance: Manage the resource mobilization team with a focus on accountability, transparency, and high-performance output, providing regular feedback to staff and volunteers.

• Reporting Integrity: Ensure all internal and external progress reports are submitted with high-speed accuracy, meeting both donor requirements and FHCI’s internal timelines.

Qualifications and Skills:

Professional Profile

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Social Studies, Economics, or Finance. A Master’s degree in a development-related discipline is a significant strategic advantage.

• Experience: At least 7 years of robust experience in the development/NGO/INGO sector, including field and management leadership.

• Expertise: Demonstrated success in mobilizing resources from a multiplicity of donors and managing complex project designs.
