Business development officers jobs

This is an exciting role in our committed policy team leading the fight to end child poverty in the UK. The government has just published a UK wide cross-government child poverty strategy, and made some historic commitments to reduce child poverty including scrapping the two-child limit and expanding free school meals in England. However, there is more to do, and this is a great time to join CPAG as we look to monitor the impact of these changes and influence policy makers and parliamentarians to ensure child poverty is high up the agenda.

We are looking for someone with a track record of communicating complex policy areas in an accessible manner to a range of non-specialist audiences. You will have knowledge of parliamentary processes and the different advocacy levers that can be used to influence change. You will enjoy working collaboratively to identify policy issues and develop solutions, working closely with colleagues across the organisation as well as externally.

In addition, in a senior policy officer we are looking for someone to take a lead role in developing CPAG’s policy and research programme, including leading the delivery of research projects, helping to shape our press and campaigns work, and contributing to the development of future projects including fundraising.

You will have a track record of producing high quality research and analysis, including policy briefings, on social policy issues.

The postholder will be working in a fast moving, high profile and complex policy environment and will need to balance short term priorities with long term objectives. Current priorities include influencing the implementation of the forthcoming child poverty strategy, sharing analysis and expertise as part of the DWP’s review of universal credit, and monitoring the development of the green paper on the changes to disability benefits. 

We welcome applications from individuals with the skills and experience outlined and we can be flexible about working arrangements, including considering part time hours. We operate a hybrid working system and would be happy to discuss any flexibilities required. CPAG is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion which you can read more about in the job pack.

Please note we are recruiting for one person with the right fit at either the policy officer or senior policy officer level.

CamRARE is on a mission to make life with a rare condition easier through connection, collaboration and community.

Applications close: 9 a.m. Monday 9th March 2026

Location: Hybrid (with in person meetings in Cambridge and across the UK)

Who we are

CamRARE are a well-established, well-respected charity with a strong track record of impact over the past decade. We exist, as there are over 10,000 rare conditions that affect 400 million people globally. Receiving a diagnosis can take years. Most rare diseases have no treatment and often poorly coordinated care.

Our goal is to have a strong collective voice in improving services and influencing policy so that families affected by rare conditions can access good healthcare, find a diagnosis, reach the right treatment or support.

We are now at a pivotal point of growth. We are investing in the next phase of our development, supported by a strong budget and a healthy level of unrestricted reserves. This growth brings opportunity, but also responsibility.

We need a Chief Executive who can lead our fundraising strategy, build a sustainable business plan and grow our reach and visibility so that more families can access support.

A distinctive feature of our work is that we connect two pillars that are often kept separate: community and research. Through our unique in-person community, we bring families together in a way that is rare in this field. In parallel, we are building an ambitious research focus, including an emerging platform designed to connect patients and researchers, support new ideas, and strengthen patient-led research. We believe families and researchers achieve more when they work together, and we are proud to be a trusted connector with a broad network.

Leading CamRARE

As Chief Executive, you will provide strategic leadership for the charity, oversee governance and operations, develop and execute the strategy set by the Board of Trustees, and build key external partnerships. This role leads fundraising efforts and develops high-level external stakeholder relationships with Government bodies, including healthcare organisations/departments, Industry, patient and charity organisations, and Research Institutions involved in rare disease.

This is a key role to build, strengthen and nurture the charity's connection with the rare disease community, empowering them and fostering an inclusive and supportive network.

We are looking for someone who can:

• Lead the next chapter of our strategy with the Board, translating ambition into clear priorities and a deliverable plan
• Develop and drive a compelling fundraising and income generation strategy, including exploring novel and commercial routes where appropriate
• Be the public face and voice of the charity, with the ability to listen deeply to families and communicate their needs with clarity and credibility
• Sustain, enhance and grow community support, including improving reach into underserved areas and strengthening what we offer across key life stages
• Strengthen and stabilise funding for our research work, including the next phase of our research network platform and services that can generate income from research partners
• Build confident, values-led leadership across the staff team, with strong emotional intelligence and a people-first approach

About you

We are open-minded about background, but we expect you to bring:

• A strong track record of revenue generation, fundraising, and building sustainable income
• Strategic leadership capability, with the creativity and judgement to stay focused and avoid diluting impact
• Confidence in representing an organisation externally, including public speaking and partnership-building
• High emotional intelligence and a leadership style that puts people first
• Comfort working in a flexible pattern, with regular in-person presence at events in Cambridge, London and across the UK (and occasionally Europe)

Working pattern and accessibility

The role is flexible, with an expectation of roughly 60% remote working and 40% in person, including travel for events and meetings.

We are also open to discussing options such as compressed hours or an 0.8 FTE arrangement, depending on the candidate and what will set the role up for success.

We are committed to inclusion and accessibility and can offer adjustments throughout the process. We also have experience supporting colleagues through Access to Work.

Why this opportunity?

This is a CEO role with genuine scope to shape the next five years. You will inherit a strong foundation, a committed Board, and a team that cares deeply about families and impact. If you are motivated by growth, visibility, and meaningful change, you will find huge purpose here.

Internews works globally to ensure people everywhere can access trusted, quality information that empowers participation, accountability, and healthier, more informed communities. For more than 35 years, in over 100 countries, we have strengthened local media, supported civil society, and helped millions of people access crucial information across issues such as health, governance, conflict, and the environment.

We are an international nonprofit with administrative hubs in California, Washington DC, London, and Paris. Our teams represent a wide mix of backgrounds, identities, cultures, and lived experiences. We actively foster an environment rooted in dignity, belonging, justice, and flexibility.

About the Role

We are seeking a high-performing, experienced, and self-directed compliance professional to provide maternity cover within the Grants, Contracts & Compliance (GCC) department.

This role requires someone who operates with excellence, independence, and sound judgement from day one—a person who is confident navigating complex donor rules, shaping risk‑mitigation strategies, and leading award management processes without needing extensive onboarding. We are seeking an experienced practitioner with proven applied experience, rather than a purely theoretical background.

You will oversee the full lifecycle of European donor‑funded awards, ensuring rigorous contractual and regulatory compliance across Internews. Working closely with colleagues across Programmes, Finance, and Global Development, you will help maintain a culture where doing things right is prioritised over shortcuts.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise with major European donors (European Commission, Sida, FCDO), a proactive mindset, and the ability to lead, train, and influence teams across the organisation.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES include the following, with other duties upon request: 

Compliance

· Review and approve proposal budgets for assigned funding opportunities.

· Review donor agreements and ensure terms are acceptable; support the Director of GCC in strengthening organisational risk‑mitigation practices.

· Advise staff on Internews’ internal and donor rules across the project cycle.

· Work with Programme Officers and cross-functional teams on effective project start‑up, including inductions, adapting award procedures/templates, and ongoing staff training; conduct country visits when required.

· Collaborate with Finance to support successful programme audits.

· Maintain and update organisational data on institutional donor platforms (e.g., EU Transparency Register, IATI).

· Develop and maintain training materials and guidelines for at least one major donor; provide expert compliance guidance across GCC.

· Deliver inductions and training for new and junior GCC staff.

· Set up and maintain complete and up‑to‑date award records in line with donor and Internews requirements.

Development

· At proposal stage, review and approve teaming agreements and NDAs with bid partners.

· Review and approve donor budget submissions, ensuring accuracy, consistency, compliance, and adequacy.

· Coordinate pre‑award due diligence for prospective donors.

· Review and negotiate donor agreements and modifications, managing associated risks.

· Establish and maintain proposal, award, and contract records within the award management system, including significant data entry.

Procurement Management

· Advise staff on procurement requirements and maintain internal records for procurements under awards.

· Support development of compliant procurement plans.

· Lead and administer higher‑value procurements, including negotiating contractor terms.

· Draft and execute sub‑contracts and amendments in full compliance with donor and Internews policies.

· Troubleshoot contractual issues, prepare termination notices, and manage related risks.

· Prepare procurement documentation for audits and serve as point of contact for procurement audit processes.

· In all duties, uphold Internews’ Core Values and demonstrate commitment to fostering a culture of Belonging, Dignity, and Justice.

SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES

· Line‑manage GCC staff when assigned.

· Deputise for the Director of GCC as required.

· Lead award management for flagship programmes and advise programme teams and partners on donor compliance, budgeting, and agreement management.

WHO WE ARE

We are Zarach, the children’s bed charity. We are on a mission to end child bed poverty, helping children get a good night’s sleep and the chance to thrive at school.

In our nearly eight years as a registered charity, we’ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support us on our mission. We’ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has enabled us to deliver over 16,000 bed bundles to children to date. 

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

As we grow, we are looking to recruit a Fundraising and Supporter Engagement Officer to join the Fundraising team, for an initial fixed-term period of 12-months.

You will be an enthusiastic team player with strong communication and interpersonal skills. You will be organised and able to manage multiple tasks and priorities, and work to deadlines.

Alongside your related skills and experience, we’ll be looking to see that you have a genuine care for our mission and, as such, are self-motivated to do a great job and be a values-led member of our team.

Ideally, you’ll have experience of fundraising, customer-facing support, and/or events administration in the charity sector. However, charity experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite and track record for continual learning and development across your working life to date.
