Fundraising manager
Do you want to help millions of women in some of the world’s poorest countries succeed as entrepreneurs and work their own way out of poverty? Have you played a leading part in securing five or six -figure gifts from corporate or major donors? We’re looking for someone to join our small but well-connected, award-winning and multilingual fundraising team. If you think you can adopt the approaches that grew our funds by 33 percent last year alone – and, even more importantly, teach us some new tricks while you’re at it – we’d love to hear from you.
