London, Greater London, United Kingdom Muslim Aid Full time
About Us:
Muslim Aid is a UK-based faith-driven international development organization dedicated to assisting communities worldwide affected by disasters, conflict, or persistent poverty, irrespective of their social, religious, or ethnic backgrounds.

Founded in 1985, Muslim Aid has successfully engaged both the British Muslim and non-Muslim communities in various supportive initiatives. Over the years, our humanitarian efforts have addressed significant crises globally, including famine in East Africa, earthquakes and flooding in Pakistan and Bangladesh, as well as conflicts in Syria and Yemen.

We emphasize sustainable development projects that empower local communities to help themselves. Alongside our five international offices, we collaborate with numerous partner organizations to focus on sustainable development programs and provide humanitarian assistance during crises.

Role Overview:

As a Business Development Specialist, you will assume a pivotal role in the organization's strategy for expanding into new markets through institutional partnerships. This includes regions such as the Middle East (Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait), Canada, and Europe. This senior technical position encompasses a range of intricate business development tasks across the organization.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Formulate strategies for donor engagement and new market entry, along with detailed implementation plans.
  • Collaborate with internal and external senior stakeholders, effectively influencing them to maximize opportunities for your team.
  • Establish, nurture, and oversee relationships with targeted donors in newly identified markets, coordinating with team members focused on income generation from Trusts and Foundations, corporate donors, and high-net-worth individuals.
  • Conduct a thorough donor scoping and mapping exercise for prospective donors in targeted new markets, continuously updating this document based on interactions with potential donors.
  • Identify and monitor relevant upcoming funding opportunities through proactive intelligence gathering, partner relationships, and other resources.
  • Oversee grant management for a portfolio of grants funded by new market donors, serving as the primary point of contact for donor communications.

Candidate Profile:

To excel in this position, you will need:

  • A postgraduate degree in international development, sustainable livelihoods, humanitarianism, program management, or a related field.
  • A solid understanding of the design, implementation, and evaluation of development programs.
  • Knowledge of international markets and/or experience in successful fundraising in markets outside the UK, with a strong preference for experience with Middle Eastern donors.
  • A proven track record in fundraising and engagement with institutional and international donors, particularly focusing on Trusts and Foundations.
  • Exceptional technical skills in writing, editing, formatting, research, negotiation, and verbal communication.
  • Strong networking and influencing abilities, both internally and externally, including experience in fostering cultural change within an organization and gaining support from senior staff.

Why Consider This Opportunity:

As a Business Development Specialist, you will play a crucial role in enhancing and supporting the dynamic programmatic portfolio that Muslim Aid implements globally. In this capacity, you will lead the organization's initiatives for growth in new markets through institutional partnerships, collaborating closely with partners, country offices, and donors to improve departmental systems. If you are seeking a meaningful challenge and wish to advance your career, we encourage you to explore this opportunity.

Benefits:

  • 37 days of holiday (including Bank Holidays and Privilege days)
  • Hybrid working model
  • Paid time off for medical appointments
  • Extended lunch breaks on Fridays
  • Time off in lieu (TOIL)
  • Pension Scheme
