The Opportunity
Living Goods is looking for an energetic, enthusiastic graduate to support two departments that work closely together. The role will spend approximately half their time working with each department.
Partnerships: The Partnerships team in Living Goods is tasked with spreading our impact through policy and partners. The Partnerships team is at the heart of understanding how you translate the high impact Living Goods model into new contexts, so that partners and governments can improve the quality of community health for every mother and child. As our team grows and the number of opportunities to work with new partners and governments increases, the team needs support to set up new systems and process, develop collateral and help scope new opportunities.
Business Development: The business development team is seeking a passionate individual with a strong track record of delivering results to join our fundraising team to further develop and build out our pipeline of funding opportunities. The candidate will support Living Goods Kenya and Uganda teams with setting up business development systems and processes and making sure new systems and processes are being used and refined—this will include processes to track new funding opportunities, manage relationships with implementing partners, and support proposal development.
This is a flexible, exciting role supporting both departments which are squarely positioned both at the heart of Living Goods’ strategy and at the leading edge of our drive towards transformative change. We are seeking a pro-active person early in their career looking to get experience in a fast-paced health focused social enterprise at the forefront of innovation in international development. This position will require an exceptional eye for detail, solid writing, research and communications skills, and a drive to work hard. Successful candidates will be highly organised, able to take initiative and be willing to pitch in to support a variety of tasks when asked. As both teams continue to grow rapidly, this role has the potential to become an integral member of the Living Goods team, with scope for the individual in the long term to specialise according to their interests.
This is a full-time role, based in Nairobi, Kenya. You will report to the Deputy Director, Business Development, with a dotted line report to the Senior Manager for Strategic Partnerships.
