Working closely with Country Managers/Directors, and programme and grant management colleagues, the post-holder will lead on: coordinating and facilitating programme development processes (including taking the lead in drafting high quality concept notes and proposals, theories of change, logical models, risk matrixes and budgets); developing and supporting the implementation of long-term country funding strategies and donor engagement strategies; and supporting new donor engagement and sustaining relationships with current donors. The post-holder will be responsible for growing institutional funding portfolios in our programmes.
The post-holder will have a successful track record in developing programmes and leading new business development efforts with institutional donors such as the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), United States Government (USG)/United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the European Union (EU), UN agencies and European Governments such as Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). Additional experience in mobilising resource from trusts and foundations and other non-traditional funding mechanisms is desirable.

As a network of charities, we’re united by a common purpose, which is to shape a society where people face far fewer problems.

You will build effective trusted relationships, possess strong communication skills and high emotional intelligence, and who can lead a significant and dispersed team.
Your background may be in policy and advocacy, fundraising/income generation, or you may have been a CEO of a smaller organisation who is interested in the opportunity to impact on a larger platform and motivated to contribute as part of a wider leadership team. Whatever the roots of your experience you will put the needs of our clients and the experiences of the most vulnerable and marginalised at the heart of your thinking.
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is of strategic importance and integral to all we do as a service: central to pursuing our EDI mission is building a diverse and inclusive organisation in which everyone has a sense of belonging.

As MSI's Director of “Leave No One Behind” Strategy, you'll be at the forefront of transforming how essential Sexual Reproductive Healthcare reaches the world's most underserved communities. This senior leadership role combines strategic innovation with hands-on impact. You will help shape global health policy, pioneer new service delivery models, and work with teams worldwide to break down barriers to healthcare access.
About MSI
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 almost 9,000 team members working in 36 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-centred 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.

MSI provides services via our Outreach, Public Sector Strengthening and MSladies channels to underserved and marginalised communities. In MSI we call these “Pillar1, Leave no-one behind channels”.

- You should possess a comprehensive understanding of SRHR guidelines, policies, and best practices on a global scale.

A strong background in health system strengthening is crucial, including familiarity with different health system frameworks and how they contribute to overall system performance.

You should be comfortable working across cultures and at all levels of organizations, (including the Executive Team at MS)I, building trust and fostering collaboration among team members, partners, and decision-makers. You should possess a track record in achieving ambitious goals at a senior level.
- Communication: Your communication skills should be “top-notch”, allowing you to present complex ideas with clarity and confidence in various settings, from international conferences, donor meetings to practical technical workshops. We're looking for someone who can tell compelling data-driven stories, translating technical information for both expert and non-expert audiences.
- Problem solving and analytical thinking: You should bring highly developed critical thinking and problem-solving skills to the table. We need someone who can approach complex issues methodically, identifying patterns and trends in information, and proposing practical, innovative solutions. Your ability to work creatively with limited resources and adapt quickly to changes in the SRHR sector will be critical.
- Fundraising and Networking: We are looking for someone with a wide network of contacts at senior levels within the SRHR sector, who can leverage these relationships to further our mission and foster innovation and learning.
