Contract type:  Full time – 36 hours/week

Background

Wetlands International is a worldwide, not-for-profit organisation with a clear niche amongst environmental organisations. For the last 25 years we have functioned as a global network organisation, with 20 offices working in over 100 countries. Together with our partners, Wetlands International works to inspire and mobilise society to safeguard and restore wetlands for people and nature. In all regions, we act as facilitators and catalyse action at a large scale for wetlands to act as Nature-based Solutions, helping to conserve biodiversity, safeguard water supplies, reduce the risks and impacts of floods and droughts, meet future food needs and tackle climate change.

The Global Office provides leadership, guides and helps coordinate collaborative action, through programmes, communications and advocacy across this network. Our outstanding technical staff and well-established relationships with governments and civil society, plus experience of working with companies, make us a trusted authority and partner of choice across a growing number of sectors. We play a central role in major global platforms and networks of relevance to our mission and are a partner to the Multilateral Environmental Agreements.

Wetlands International resources this work through combining support from a growing set of (mostly) institutional donors, including bi-lateral government grants and a growing portfolio of supportive Trusts and Foundations and companies. The organisation has historically enjoyed the loyal support of government and NGO members from around the world. There is potential to expand this membership which brings both mandate and resources, and the organisation is committed to broaden its constituency by developing a Supporter Base, involving a range of categories.

Purpose of Role

The Resource Development Manager is a facilitative leader who orchestrates, supports and adapts the implementation of the organisation's strategic efforts to mobilise resources, and tracks and evaluates resource development performance. This involves identifying and researching prospects, communicating and advising the Management Team and the Network on resource development strategy and tactics, coordinating the fundraising efforts across the organization, and providing practical support to proposal development and submission processes.  It is envisaged that the incumbent will develop a departmental team over time. One important aspect of the role is to work with staff across the Network organisation to develop the Member and Supporter base and identify other means to secure and build on flexible finance.
