LOCATION: London EC1R 0BJ (ActionAid UK offices)

CLOSING DATE: 2nd July 2012.

We have an ambitious strategy to double income from statutory donors over the next five years. The International Partnership Development team within ActionAid International will play a key role in supporting members/country programmes to plan for and fundraise from statutory donors as well as manage contracts when won.

Join us as a Donor Coordinator and you will help achieve fundraising targets by focusing on our engagement with the United Nations and Tenders offered by donors. You will provide expertise and intelligence as well as support for applications and awarded contracts.

You will manage our relationship with the UN acting as our contact point for funding opportunities and submissions. You will encourage local in country relationship development with UN offices as well as deliver up-to-date intelligence to the organisation on relevant UN themes and issues covering funding openings, financing decisions and strategic priorities.

You will also maximise Tender opportunities and minimise the risk of non-compliance by ensuring submissions are of the highest quality and meet regulatory requirements. Important will be your ability to deliver regular analysis and reporting on contracts and grants.

You will have significant experience of working with institutional donors in a funding capacity. This will include the United Nations which will have given you sound knowledge of UN rules and regulations and a proven track record in proposal design and fundraising success.

Preferably you will have experience of working on developing and managing Tenders. In addition you will posses excellent interpersonal, communication and negotiation skills as well as the ability to work effectively in a multi-cultural environment, often at a distance.
