About DMI

Development Media International (DMI) creates evidence-based behaviour change campaigns to improve health and save lives. We deliver at scale to maximise impact and cost-effectiveness. We are the first organisation to scientifically demonstrate that mass media can increase life-saving behaviours. In 2018 DMI published the results of its 5-year, £7m randomised controlled trial (RCT) in West Africa which showed that 56% more children were taken for treatment for malaria, 73% more for diarrhoea and 39% more for pneumonia following exposure to our campaign. Modelling indicates that over 3000 lives were saved during the campaign and that our approach is one of the most cost-effective ways of saving children’s lives. We have subsequently undertaken a second RCT which showed that the modern contraceptive prevalence rate was 20% higher in areas exposed to DMI’s messaging compared to areas that were not.

DMI has two priorities: first, to continue to generate ground-breaking research, second, to take our proven strategies to scale, saving as many lives as possible and improving health. We work across a range of health issues, including child survival, reproductive health, nutrition, hygiene, and early childhood development. DMI works in close partnership with leading experts in health, including WHO, UNICEF and LSHTM and has been funded by some of the world’s most prestigious organisations including the Wellcome Trust, DFID, Comic Relief, the Global Innovation Fund, Unorthodox Philanthropy and the Mulago Foundation.

We are an innovative and rapidly growing organisation, working at the nexus between science and creativity. DMI has demonstrated that knowledge is not only a human right but is also the key to saving lives in a cost-effective way. Our intellectual rigour, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn from both our successes and mistakes, makes us distinct. Our ethos is non-hierarchical: all our staff are intellectually high-powered, and we have a “best idea wins” culture. By working at DMI you will have a genuine, measurable impact on improving lives in low-income countries.

DMI has a permanent presence in Burkina Faso, Mozambique and Tanzania and has recently expanded to Cote d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Malawi, Uganda, and Zambia. Our headquarters overlooks the Regents Canal in Hoxton, London and provides the strategic direction for the whole organisation.

DMI is ranked as one of the most cost-effective non-profit organisations in the world by GiveWell and was the first organisation to receive the maximum rating from Impact Matters. It is also endorsed by the Centre for Effective Altruism, Giving What We Can and The Life You Can Save.

Job description

DMI is looking for an exceptional individual to be our Director of Business Development and part of our senior management team. Your primary responsibility will be to secure funding for new DMI projects, which you will help to design. We have enjoyed significant fundraising success over recent years, securing more than £20m in new funding since 2017. This has enabled DMI to expand rapidly, both geographically and in terms of the themes of our campaigns. To continue this trend, we are aiming to raise an additional £15m by the end of 2022. This funding will allow us to consolidate our project portfolio in existing countries of operation and allow us to expand our work in West Africa. You will also have responsibility for overseeing DMI’s external communications, developing and maintaining relationships with prospective partners and donors, and representing DMI within the international development community.

More specifically, the Director of Business Development role will include the following responsibilities:

2. Overseeing, and contributing to, the process of proposal preparation. This will include identifying opportunities, developing, writing, and submitting proposals. These may be unsolicited proposals, or they may be responses to tender opportunities offered by institutional donors such as USAID or FCDO
3. Contributing to the design of projects, bringing together staff, resources and DMI’s operating methods in a form that represents the most cost-effective approach to a given problem
4. Maintaining and developing strong relationships with prospective donors and potential partners (NGOs and other organisations) in advance of funding opportunities
5. Representing DMI within the international development community, including with key donors, clients, partners, and others as required
6. Keeping aware of international development trends, particularly in the health and SBC sectors, and ensuring that the CEO, the Senior Management Team (of which you will be a part), and other key staff are updated on these trends
7. Providing dynamic and inspirational management to the strategy and development team in the UK (currently 3 people), and liaising successfully with relevant staff in DMI’s country offices about business development opportunities
8. Overseeing DMI’s external communications, ensuring that websites, annual reports, and other materials are on-brand, of the highest quality, and contribute to the achievement of DMI’s objectives
9. Other tasks as required by DMI

The role will be offered on a permanent contract from the outset. However, for the first 16 months (which includes provision for sufficient hand over at each end) the successful candidate will act as maternity cover for DMI’s Director of Strategy and Development. At the end of this term, and subject to mutual agreement between you and DMI, there is potential for the successful candidate to join DMI on a permanent basis.

Overview:

Women for Women International works in some of the most dangerous places to be a woman. We serve women survivors of war in conflict and post-conflict areas around the world in 8 countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, Eastern Congo, and Northern Nigeria. Our core belief is that stronger women build stronger nations; and with access to knowledge, resources, and a support network, a woman rebuilds her life and improves her community.

Our model works and we have the data to prove it. In our 26-year history, Women for Women International has reached over half a million women. The women we work with across 3 continents earn just $0.81 a day when we enroll them. At graduation, it’s $2.11, nearly tripled.

Our impact goes beyond income. The number of women who say at least one household member went to sleep hungry in the last four weeks has gone from 18% to 5%. And more women say they speak out against women's abuse: 26% report having publicly spoken in the last 6 months against physically abusing women.

When women have the right tools, they realize the power within themselves to transform their lives, their families, their communities, and finally their entire nations.

Purpose:

Women for Women International has the ambition to dramatically increase grant funding to support programming that has been proven to be transformative for marginalized women survivors of war in fragile and conflict affected countries.

In addition to strategic coordination and leadership, the Director of Global Business Development will take an active role in identifying suspects, cultivating prospects, leading proposal development processes as needed and ensuring effective stewardship of current funding partnerships. The global organization has strong teams that carry forward business development from the first identification of a prospect all the way through to the final grant report. This position is envisioned to help ensure that all the teams and the processes continue to work smoothly, efficiently and effectively. Given an ambitious growth strategy, a high volume of opportunities, proposals and activity, the ideal applicant will also have demonstrated experience in contributing to the nuts and bolts of successful proposals and the willingness to take part in any part of the process to ensure success.

Women for Women International offices around the world are increasing their business development capacity and, in some instances, hiring dedicated professional business development staff. The Global Business Development Director will support the continued capacity building of the global fundraising operations and help to ensure that country offices get the support they need to grow their capacity to raise money locally.
