We are looking for a motivated team player to join our Business Development and Philanthropy Team, which leads and co-ordinates our global fundraising from institutional and philanthropic sources.

You will provide crucial support to our team’s function by providing relevant and timely business intelligence and coordination to support our work with donors, including support for internal and external events that we organise to deepen donor engagement with our work.

Accountabilities

You will support the organisation of inspiring donor events, in person and online, working across multi-disciplinary teams and drawing together reflections and learnings afterwards to improve our donors' experience. You will help colleagues prepare for funding meetings — contributing to cases for support, proposals, donor reports and appeals— and support day-to-day stewardship, from thank-you letters to stewardship activities such as annual thankathons.

You will manage your own small portfolio of individual donors and charitable trusts giving at the £5,000 level, sending proposals and reports, and will maintain a strong knowledge of Practical Action's programmes so you can share stories of change and impact data confidently with current and prospective supporters.

You will support the team's intelligence hub: gathering, interpreting and sharing insight on key donors including governments, foundations and multilaterals; analysing funder strategies and calls for proposals; and working with regional and country teams to understand and meet their business intelligence needs. You will help ensure intelligence is shared and acted on across the organisation, including through the monthly news bulletin, and work with your manager to develop "so what" analysis that BD teams globally can act on. You will also keep our SharePoint and donor portal registrations accurate and well organised.

Skills, Abilities and Competencies:

To be successful in the role, the ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate:

· A keen interest in international development and environmental issues.

· Excellent research, numeracy and analytical skills – not taking everything at face value and being able to discern the “so what” questions from trends and data.

· Proficient usage of Microsoft 365, especially Excel, Word (including mail merge) and Powerpoint.

· Ability to take complex data and synthesize it into consumable, actionable insight.

· Excellent presentation skills, able to synthesise information in written format, info graphics and other visual formats and will be proficient with using a range of software and digital tools to do this. 

· Ability to work proactively and collaboratively with people from a range of cultures and across time zones. 

· You are a self-starter, happy to work with various research resources and have an ability to work with imperfect systems and information.

· You are organized, conscientious and work well as part of a team.

· Ability to manage multiple responsibilities and to set priorities. 

· Excellent written and spoken English.

· Commitment to development principles and Practical Action’s vision, mission and ambition.
