- Tracking โ Remain aware of upcoming bid opportunities for key donors, compile tracking information in the โDigestโ and regularly share it across the organisation
- Communication โ Participate and play an active role in proposal development meetings, coordinating with relevant staff all application activities and developing bid plans
- With limited supervision or guidance, help regional offices and program teams identify winning project ideas for less complex bidding processes by understanding the donorsโ priorities and writing quality proposals that meet the funderโs requirements
What you will bring to the role
- Excellent inter-personal skills and ability to relate with diverse people from different cultures.
- Strong organisation, time management and coordination skills
- Flexibility to work in a dynamic environment and to multi-task.
