About the role

The Programme Funding Coordinator will work in a multi-disciplinary Programme unit and will be responsible for raising significant funds to grow the team's programme portfolio. You will deliver a high quality bidding programme with Institutional Donors and Foundations in order to build a healthy and sustainable funding pipeline so that CIUK can achieve our programme goals; build learning and multiply impact.

We are looking for passionate and experienced humanitarian workers or funding specialists, with field and/or HQ experience in institutional funding and a very good knowledge of our key humanitarian donors' priorities and requirements (DFID, ECHO, START, DEC). An understanding of bidding for commercial contracts and large tenders and consortia grants will be an advantage. You must have the ability to lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary teams during proposal preparation, working with partners and colleagues in multiple locations.
