Senior Proposal & Commercial Bid Development Manager
£42,750 pa plus benefits
Milton Keynes, with 25% travel
Do you have proven experience of the assessment, design and project cycle management for multi-sector programmes in large, complex settings, plus a track record of acquiring successful institutional funding from bilateral and multilateral donors? Then my client, World Vision UK could have the ideal opportunity for you.
About my client
World Vision UK (WVUK) is an international children’s charity working with children, their communities, and with supporters and partners, in almost 100 countries. Through long-term development projects, emergency responses and advocacy they have helped bring lasting change to millions of children, over more than 60 years. And as a Christian organisation, everything they do is motivated by faith as they strive to reflect God’s unconditional love. Join them, and you could soon be part of a truly global partnership that’s busy building brighter futures for vulnerable children.
About the role
A key member of WVUK’s Humanitarian & International Programmes (HIP) management team, you’ll lead the unit that’s responsible for acquiring around £35m of institutional donor funding (grants & contracts) each year, as well as corporate and philanthropic proposal development on behalf of the Strategic Partnership Directorate. Defining and ensuring a consistent approach to delivering quality and timely submissions that are coordinated and informed with input from all relevant stakeholders will be important too, as will ensuring the available capacity and capability of a team to lead submission development. Line managing and developing unit members, providing strong proactive support to other HIP unit managers and playing your part in developing and delivering HIP team plans – all are aspects of this high-profile role.
About you
To succeed, you’ll need proven experience of developing and maintaining relations with institutional donors, analysing their funding requirements and shifting worldviews (particularly DFID/FCDO, EU/ECHO), and working with, managing, and developing relationships with consortium partners. You’ll also need field experience of working in different cultures and religious contexts. Proactive and creative in improving existing processes and developing new ones to improve efficiency and effectiveness, you’re adept at knowledge management within a demanding team environment and used to line managing and training, mentoring or capacity building a team.
You’re an excellent project manager too - someone who’s comfortable working on complex multiple tasks and prioritising to meet deadlines. Expertise in a specific technical area - e.g., child protection, health, nutrition, livelihoods, social accountability, resilience or economic development, would also be useful, as would working knowledge of a second language. More important however, is a general awareness of Christian teaching to appreciate the Christian ethos of WVUK and live their values. As an active Christian (Permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1 of The Equality Act 2010), this role allows you to integrate your Christian faith and be sensitive to its various expressions across cultures and denominations.
In return for your skills and experience, WVUK provides a range of benefits, including pension, generous holiday entitlement and free parking at their Milton Keynes office.
To apply, please send full CV and covering letter stating how you meet the essential criteria provided above to WVUK’s Advising Consultant using the contact details provided.
