Devex Pro Funding Editor

1 day ago

London, United Kingdom Devex Full time

ABOUT YOU

You’re a journalist with expertise in covering a trade or business beat, ideally with a strong background in international development. Or you’re a business development professional from the international development sector, with strong writing and communications skills and a desire to put them to use.

You know or have the ability to quickly learn the current trends and inner workings of the global development industry — who funds projects, how proposals get written, and what it takes to successfully fundraise. You also can write, edit, and speak on these topics. You’re eager to dig into a beat, find out what insiders are talking about, and bring those compelling stories to our audience of development professionals. You’re equally comfortable producing stories based on conversations with experts, reviewing RFPs, and studying grant databases.

You’ll thrive in an environment where you’re supported by a team of experienced journalists who will support you in working with freelancers and writing your own pieces.

Do you value the chance to support global development professionals who need to know the latest trends and tips around development financing and fundraising? Are you full of ideas and the motivation to see those ideas come to fruition? Are you excited to be part of a news organization that has a social impact focus and an open, teamwork-focused culture? Read on.

ABOUT THE JOB

You’ll be responsible for writing articles, commissioning content from freelance journalists, and hosting webinars and events focused on how organizations in international aid get funded.

You’ll be writing for our subscribers: an audience of business development professionals and other executives working for NGOs, development consultancies, humanitarian aid organizations, and more. And you’ll be producing content that helps them make smart decisions and get ahead in their day-to-day work.

You’ll be talking to leaders at philanthropic foundations and donor agencies — learning more about what they’re looking for, what makes them tick, as well as looking at the financial documents and data released by those institutions, and using it to analyze key trends.

You’ll assign freelancers to profile foundation and donor leaders, write blogs about fundraising tips, and work with our data analysis team to find compelling funding trend stories and develop them in the most interesting way possible.

In your first 90 days

  • You’ll meet our subscribers and understand the kind of content they need to do their jobs better. And you’ll get up to speed on the latest trends at institutions funding international development.
  • You’ll work with the wider editorial and data analysis teams to understand the existing work we do, and to map out new ideas. You’ll reach out to potential partners such as think tanks, civil society, and current and former officials, and you’ll study trends and information.
  • You’ll also develop a good understanding of your role within the wider Devex news team and work on stories collaboratively with other reporters, the production and multimedia team, and the engagement team.
  • You’ll build contacts with key individuals working in the world of development funding, conduct interviews, and work on building exclusive insights.

By the end of your first year, you’ll be on your way to becoming a respected voice in the sector, having cultivated sources in order to write exclusive stories, based on data, tips, and information gleaned from your past coverage.

Types of content you might produce

  • A story on the merger between two big for-profit development suppliers
  • A podcast with a senior figure at the World Bank on how to win your first contract
  • A profile of how a new CEO has taken a big company in a new direction
  • A special report breaking down some of USAID’ biggest contracts, and who might be in line to win the business
  • A conference call where you interview a foundation’s senior program officer and field questions from subscribers

Required Qualifications

Here are the basic requirements we’re looking for in the role…

  • At least 5 years relevant journalism experience, with familiarity covering a trade or business beat.

OR

  • A long-term background in business development/fundraising in global development, together with strong writing skills

Nice-to-haves

Besides the basics, here’s what we’d love to see…

  • A passion for global development and a knowledge of its institutions
  • Fluency in accessing and analyzing funding information, from financial documents to databases
  • People management experience
  • Familiarity with moderating panels and webinars
  • About the Organization

    At Devex, our vision is to do more good for more people in the global
    development community. We’re a media platform that connects 1+ million
    development professionals with news, jobs, content series, events, and
    funding.

    When you become a Devexer, you’re not only joining a global company
    but a team of 120+ passionate people who value our guiding principles:

  • We champion global development professionals.
  • We focus on impact.
  • We embrace transformation.
  • We work together.
  • We feel urgency.

What we offer you

This role is a remote position and the salary range will be based on
the candidate’s location and market rates to align with Devex’s global
compensation philosophy. If selected for an interview, we can share the
compensation range specific to your geographic area.

We strive to make Devex a place where you can thrive and do your most inspirational work.
Here are a few perks we offer:

  • Remote contractor contract with flexible work hours
  • 2 week-long enterprise-wide breaks to rest and recharge
  • 2 YAY days to learn or adventure as you like

Interested in this position but don’t think you tick every box? We’d love to hear from you anyway and why you think you’d be a great fit for the role. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our
company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color,
national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status,
veteran status, or disability.
