One of our corporate clients is looking for a Corporate Partnerships & Philanthropy Fundraiser (m/f/d) role based out of Germany location would be flexible. Permanent full-time role but open to suggestions for part-time or compressed hours.

The client helps women beat the odds and succeed as entrepreneurs. The money they earn and the confidence they gain change everything. Whole families and communities rise with them. Since 2003, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, we’ve helped more than 5 million women launch small businesses that can stand the test of time. Some are smallholder farmers learning to stand up to climate change. Some are refugees starting a new life after running from conflict. Others are young women and girls with few opportunities starting to dream – and plan – for the future.

Their network spans operations in Afghanistan, India, Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Three more offices in Sweden, the UK and now Germany provide support such as fundraising, program management, technical advice, and donor relations.

Job Responsibility

Their programs have already enjoyed the support of a wide range of German and Swiss donors (e.g. GIZ, Bosch Foundation, Cafod, and UBS Optimus Foundation). To extend their foothold in the DACH region even further, they are looking for a Corporate & Philanthropy Fundraiser to join their team.

●You will identify, prospect, and approach new high-net-worth individuals and business funders in the DACH region, converting these from prospects to secured funds - with a strong initial focus on Afghanistan, Kenya, and Tanzania. You will start with a prospect database of ca. 100 potential funders.
● You will lead proposals from concept through to submission, coordinating inputs from Hand in Hand International and network colleagues, drafting technical inputs, and engaging with funders.
● You will proactively manage relationships with existing DACH-based donors, developing engagement strategies, communicating with donors regularly, and sharing key information about their projects in between reporting periods.
● You will build effective and impactful relationships with network members, most notably, Hand in Hand East Africa and Hand in Hand Afghanistan.
● You will represent Hand in Hand at relevant philanthropy events in the DACH region.
● You will travel frequently to meet with donors in the DACH region and visit Hand-in-hand projects on-site in the focus countries, as well as our other country offices (e.g. London).

Your Profile

● You have significant experience in proposal management and proposal writing for DACH-headquartered organizations.
● You have previous experience engaging directly with large donors or clients, both in person, in web calls, and via written reports.
● Experience in selling to/raising funds from Mittelstand, family businesses, or family offices would be highly desirable.
● Exposure to direct marketing or business-to-business marketing would be a plus.
● If you come from an international development background, you ideally also have:
- A good understanding of monitoring and evaluation as it links to crafting successful development projects.
- Previous experience developing proposals for livelihoods and women’s economic empowerment programs, especially within a humanitarian context.
● If you come from a commercial background, it is essential that you have:
- Demonstrable experience of working with numbers-based reporting.
- A demonstrable interest in international development issues.
● Your written and oral German communication skills are outstanding, and you are comfortable working in an English-speaking environment.
● You are a creative, innovative thinker with a positive and resilient personality.
● You enjoy the ability to work autonomously and can identify needs and act upon them flexibly, with minimal supervision.
● You are excited by the idea of being part of a new and growing organization and happy to work across teams and areas.
● You pay strong attention to details and can prioritize between competing deadlines and objectives.
