We are seeking an experienced Business Development specialist to help us grow and diversify Elrha’s funding portfolio. Working closely with staff across the organisation, you will establish and implement our new business development strategy. This is a great opportunity to create a lasting impact in the organisation by setting the foundations for a strong and effective business development and fundraising function.

This new role in Elrha will drive business development across all Elrha’s programmes and thematic areas by leading and providing effective support to the programme teams throughout the funding cycle. This will range from cultivating existing relationships and transforming them into funding opportunities and mapping and landscaping donor funding streams, to coordinating high quality proposals in response to these opportunities. The role will also create and maintain Elrha’s business development procedures, tools and information systems. As a key element in leading the business development function in Elrha, the role is also responsible for setting up, disseminating and monitoring the organisational business development strategy, aimed at expanding the current £69.5 million active portfolio.
