• Work with the Executive Director, the TBP Manager, the Communications Director, and the Sustainability team to develop attractive, compelling communications that support the development and fundraising strategy of IofC International;

• Work with affiliated national teams to help them develop local fundraising capacity that works in coordination with IofCI;

• Some travel [when allowed by pandemic restrictions] to meet with affiliated national teams and donors if necessary to implement our fundraising strategy.
