Job Description
Walimu has grown rapidly in recent years. We’ve been able to do so without any development staff, but that is fast growing unsustainable. We see an opportunity to multiply our impact by hiring a Development Officer and building out a development operation.
As our development officer, you will execute our strategy for our next stage of growth. You will work with senior leadership to cultivate and manage relationships with our funders and major partners; ensure we are maximizing opportunities with our researchers; move us from primarily a subcontractor to primarily prime; design and lead fundraising initiatives for signature initiatives; and oversee communications.
With strong partner trust, high-quality execution and several extremely cost-effective interventions, we have the components to grow into a major research and scaling institution and reduce morbidity and mortality nationwide — but we need someone like you to get there.

Strategy - 20%
Working with the board of directors, executive director and stakeholders in and outside the organization, you will assist in the development of a strategy for our next stage of growth.
Fundraising - 50%
You will administer our fundraising efforts, including prospect identification, proposal development, asks/submissions/bids and follow up. Our fundraising efforts will primarily be submissions in response to calls from major funders, either independently or jointly with external researchers. In addition, we intend to work to diversify our fundraising, pursuing smaller funders, less restricted funding and, most importantly, strategic funders who are interested in large, long investments.
Relationship cultivation - 20%
You will administer Walimu’s external development-related relationships, including with funders, universities, researchers and critical partners. Some relationships, particularly with funders, you will directly manage and cultivate. For others, you will work with the broader Walimu team, ensuring that we are delivering the best partner experience and maximizing likelihood of achieving our objectives.
Communications - 10%
You will be responsible for Walimu’s communications and make decisions, set strategy and executive activities related to our website and other communications assets.
