Position Summary:

The Fundraising Manager will be part of the CEO's Office and will play a key role in building and strengthening ILSS's relationships with donors and partners, while ensuring we put forward strong, compelling proposals and funding reports. The role will work closely with program teams, leadership and external stakeholders to bring together the information and relationships needed to support ILSS's fundraising efforts. It is a hands-on role that requires strong ownership, excellent relationship-building skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Objectives & Responsibilities of the role:

The responsibilities of the Fundraising Manager, include but are not limited to the following:

1. Proposal Development & Fundraising Collaterals

  • Lead the development of funding proposals, concept notes and other donor-facing materials.
  • Work with program teams to understand the work and translate it into clear, compelling proposals.
  • Ensure proposals are well-structured, accurate and tailored to the requirements and interests of each donor.

2. Donor Management & Stewardship

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with existing and prospective donors.
  • Stay closely connected with donors, ensuring timely communication, follow-ups and sharing of relevant updates.
  • Coordinate donor meetings and engagements, working with the relevant teams to ensure donors have a good understanding of ILSS's work.
  • Create compelling collaterals to keep donors updated on ongoing interventions

3. Donor Reporting & Grant Management

  • Lead the preparation and submission of donor reports, ensuring they are timely, accurate and reflect the work and impact of the organisation.
  • Keep track of donor commitments, reporting timelines and key requirements.
  • Work closely with leadership and internal teams to coordinate fundraising requirements, prepare for donor conversations and engagements, and ensure clear alignment on timelines, expectations, next steps and commitments while building strong, collaborative relationships across teams.

4. Supporting with Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships

  • Design and develop high-quality presentation decks, reports and other collaterals for projects and events as needed.
  • Support the Chief of Staff in planning, implementing and managing identified projects and strategies.
  • Research, analyse and draw valuable conclusions and insights from data related to the market, industry, current processes and trends, and share relevant insights with management.
  • Support monitoring, evaluation and assessment of key projects and initiatives to track progress, measure outcomes and identify areas for improvement.

Required Abilities and Qualifications:

  • 6–8 years of relevant experience, ideally in fundraising, resource mobilisation, partnerships, philanthropy or a related role within the social sector.
  • Strong understanding of the social sector and an ability to quickly understand organisational priorities, programmes and impact.
  • Excellent written and communication skills, with the ability to craft clear, compelling proposals, reports and donor communication.
  • Strong relationship-building skills : a genuine people's person who enjoys building trust and maintaining relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
  • Ability to influence without authority and work effectively across teams, bringing people together to get things done without always having direct ownership or control.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, with the ability to manage tight deadlines and shifting priorities without losing attention to detail.
  • Strong multitasking and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple proposals, donor relationships, reports and internal stakeholders simultaneously.
  • Ownership and maturity — someone who is proactive, dependable and able to take a piece of work from start to finish, while knowing when to seek support or escalate.
