MSI Reproductive Choices is one of the world’s leading providers of sexual and reproductive healthcare. We believe that everyone should have the right to choose. From contraception to safe abortion and life-saving post-abortion care, we are committed to delivering compassionate, affordable, high-quality services for all.

Today, our organisation has over 9,000 team members working in 37 countries across the world. Our success lies in the fact that MSI teams are locally led, entrepreneurial and results-driven, and are passionate about delivering high quality, client-centered care, in their own communities. As a social business, we focus on sustainable delivery, efficiency, and funding models that are built to last, so that the women and girls we serve today will have a choice in the future too.

We know that access to reproductive choice is life changing. For some, it can mean the ability to complete an education or start a career. For others, it means being able to look after the family they already have. For everyone, it means the freedom to decide their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world.

The role

MSI is seeking a dynamic, bold, and strategic fundraising leader to establish a new team with-in MSI focused on securing new private donors outside of the US market.  This role offers a remarkable opportunity to shape and lead MSI’s ambitious goals and vision for high-value private funding sources, which today contributes a third of our global funding.

This newly established team and leadership role sits within the International Partnerships and Philanthropy (P&P) team which leads on our global engagement with foundations, trusts, corporate partners, and philanthropists.  We have a highly successful US and UK philanthropy program and a proven track record of building high scale & ambitious global funder relationships and a track record of delivering remarkable impact results.  With this new role and team, we seek to take our successful approach out to new donors and markets: beginning with Europe but over the coming years also engaging strategically in the MENA, Asia, and Africa regions.

MSI has outstanding proposal design, donor management, and stewardship teams within our Global Funding department. This role will therefore be primarily focused on securing new relationships and opportunities with the close partnership and support of these other teams.

Who are we seeking?

Our ideal candidate is a dynamic leader and communicator, self-starter and strategic thinker who has advanced entrepreneurial skills and exceptional relationship and stewardship skills. They will have a proven track record of securing high value, multi annual, funding commitments and will be someone who thrives on meeting audacious targets.

They will have experience across a range of private donor contexts and will be adept at working in traditional funding environments as well as engaging with newly emerging new philanthropist and impact investor communities. They will recruit, lead and mentor a team of specialists who are also pioneering these new types of funding relationships for the MSI.

MSI places a high value on collaborative working – so this candidate will also be an active thought partner, ally, and support to our fundraising colleagues in the US and Australian markets – sharing ideas, leads and resources.

This role will ideally be based in either the UK or Europe. But due to the nature of the role we expect the successful candidate to spend much of their time outside the office, networking, and meeting with donors/prospective donors.

The role includes line management of the UK private funding program, plus two new colleagues to be appointed by the Director, with more roles available based upon results & as strategy is developed.

• Develop clear stewardship and solicitation plans for identified key funding prospects.
• Establish strong collaborative relationships across MSI to ensure all the resources, support, and partnerships are in place to optimize success. Work with MSI colleagues to support organisational understanding of how New Funding programs work optimally.
• Drive the MSI New Funding program with a clear focus on meeting audacious income goals, with a provisional goal of £15m for 2023 (the first full year of operation).
• Ensure that the New Funding team is run on principles of optimal impact – with a nimble and strategically focused culture.

Key Skills

To perform this role, it is essential that you have the following skills:

• A strong understanding of the range of frameworks, contexts and motivators for private donor funding and impact investing. Able to speak persuasively and authentically across those frameworks and contexts.
• Outstanding communication skills: able to ‘own the room’ when needed, articulate technical detail compellingly and convey the remarkable and transformational nature of our mission.
• Ability to develop effective cross-departmental relationships across an organisation to achieve mutual objectives.  

Key Experience

To perform this role, it is essential that you have the following experience:

• 7+ years of proven experience in securing and driving high impact and high value (£10ms+) partnerships and donor relationships across a range of donor communities.

• Experience of working within & fundraising for a large complex international INGO delivering programs in multiple countries.
