The funding landscape for international development, and especially for knowledge-focused organisations is changing fast. Donors are keen to invest in knowledge and knowledge capacities for specific products, services or sectors – such as climate change, disaster risk reduction, youth employment, or to respond to Covid-19. By directing more of their funding to the Global South they are helping to drive the much-need localisation of development work, supporting governments, non-governmental organisations and the private sector to work together to harness the latest evidence, generate new knowledge, and to drive innovation in policy and practice. Both established and new donors, including private sector investors and philanthropists, are using new models of funding to do this, from impact investment to social enterprise to concessional financing. In parallel, investments by global and local technology firms are helping to make digital infrastructure more accessible and affordable, and opening up new opportunities for Southern organisations to develop, access and use digital platforms, tools and services to meet their learning and knowledge needs. With an increasingly global board, a network of experienced advisers, trusted partners, and team of expert staff and associates that bring cutting edge knowledge of how to strengthen capacity and enable learning, and our commitment to equity in knowledge ecosystems we are well positioned to respond to and support these shifts. This role is an exciting opportunity to help a trusted, well-established organisation, highly regarded for the quality of its work and its commitment to effective partnership, to navigate the next phase of its evolution.

• Knowledge and experience of new and innovative funding mechanisms such as impact investing or other social investment opportunities

• Ability to identify new funding opportunities and develop relationships with funders and partners and a track record of bringing in new business through innovative fundraising.
