Programme Development Officer, Statutory Funding

Start Date: As soon as possible
Duration of Contract: Permanent
Probation Period: Six months

Fauna & Flora is seeking an experienced professional to support its fundraising from
statutory (government and multilateral) donors.

You will support colleagues and partners to develop high-quality proposal packages and reports
for priority donors and ensure their timely submission. You will work across the statutory
funding portfolio, critiquing proposals, providing editing and formatting support, and ensuring
that all documents produced for donors meet their criteria, as well as follow Fauna &
Flora’s approval and submission procedures. You will lead on researching in-country funding
opportunities from statutory sources, and will produce and maintain up-to-date briefs on
priority donor strategies.

You will have excellent data management skills, and monitor Fauna & Flora’s activities in
statutory fundraising and fund management, to support the statutory funding team’s operations
as well as internal decision-making and strategy development.

Strong relationship-management and communications skills are essential to the role, to develop
positive, collaborative relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including
regional teams, non-governmental partners, and government agencies. You will be as tenacious as
you are persuasive, and your excellent interpersonal skills will enable you to extract
information to meet timelines. You will be a strong team player and enjoy working in a dynamic
environment where the ability to respond swiftly to changing organisational and team needs is
paramount. With a proactive and pre-emptive approach to your work, you will seek to add value
and work with minimal supervision.

Fluency in written and spoken English is essential. Skills in languages relevant to Fauna &
Flora’s programme are highly desirable. Sensitivity to the different working environments and
capacities of colleagues around the world is also essential.

In return, the role offers the opportunity to work within a ground-breaking and entrepreneurial
organisation, at the forefront of global conservation, with opportunity to apply your skills
and expertise where appropriate. In addition, Fauna & Flora offers a generous pension
contribution, attractive annual leave allowance and life insurance.

Our offices are located in The David Attenborough Building in central Cambridge, just a few
minutes’ walk from glorious historic buildings and museums, the picturesque River Cam, the
central market and shopping centre, and a host of cafés and restaurants.

Other organisations may call this role Programme Funding Officer / Coordinator; Institutional
Funding Officer; Business Development Officer.

The closing date for applications is Sunday, 19 May 2024. Interviews are
likely to take place 1 – 2 weeks after this.

This role is not eligible for sponsorship of a Skilled Worker Visa.
