Contract Type: Permanent

Location: Fauna & Flora International, Cambridge, UK

Founded in 1903, Fauna & Flora International (FFI) is the world’s longest established international conservation organisation. Our vision is to create a sustainable future for the planet where biodiversity is conserved by the people living closest to it. We aim to do this through the conservation of threatened species and ecosystems worldwide, choosing solutions that are sustainable, based on sound science and take account of human needs. We have become a trusted entity in the world of conservation. Today FFI is active in over 40 countries.

We are seeking an experienced professional to fulfil a regional scale grant management and fundraising development role within FFI’s West Africa portfolio of work. Overseeing current and future statutory grants and leading on new statutory funding opportunities, this position will play a critical role in coordinating the inputs of staff both in the region and those based in the UK in order to enable the delivery of positive conservation results, whilst complying with grant conditions.

You will have excellent statutory grant management skills and proven demonstrable experience in a role delivering conservation or similar projects with a strong grant compliance component, and thus be able to provide technical input on proposal design and monitoring as relevant across the programme and in line with FFI’s strategy. Your outstanding interpersonal skills will enable you to build strong working relationships, bringing diverse groups of stakeholders together to accomplish common goals, and your exceptional writing skills will deliver high quality reports and proposals. Fluency in English and French is essential.

In return, the role offers the opportunity to work within a ground-breaking and entrepreneurial organisation, at the forefront of global conservation, with opportunity to apply your skills and expertise where appropriate. In addition, FFI offers a generous pension contribution, attractive annual leave allowance and life insurance.

Our offices are located in The David Attenborough Building in central Cambridge, just a few minutes’ walk from glorious historic buildings and museums, the picturesque River Cam, the central market and shopping centre, and a host of cafés and restaurants.  

The closing date for applications is Sunday, 13 September 2020.
