We are looking for a motivated and talented Development Head who will help us grow our non-profit income and expand our pool of donors. Working closely with Kizazi’s leadership team, the post-holder will help secure and sustain existing and future funding streams. They will be required to develop our fundraising strategy, research and identify potential new funders, submit applications, build our external voice in the donor community, and provide procurement and administrative support during final funding negotiations.

Context
Kizazi is a global non-profit organization which works with local NGOs and governments to develop and spread new models for schools in under-resourced contexts. It has been developed by former leaders from Teach For All and Teach For India and its current core partnerships are in South Asia, West Asia and Africa.
Our work at Kizazi to develop breakthrough school models recognizes the importance of developing broader student outcomes and for education to be truly responsive to the context of the world and more specifically the context of children in the communities we serve. We know that education and schools today need to acknowledge and respond to the conflict, discrimination, trauma and adversity that children growing up in poverty endure.
Outcomes
The long-term impact of this role will be seen in enabling Kizazi to scale and reach millions of children across the world, supporting them to lead thriving lives, and in the process cultivating advocates and champions of our work.
The near-term outcomes of the role will be to build sustainable resource streams for the organization to meet its growth goals over the next three years and to shape our communication function to enhance our external profile.
