ABOUT THE END FUND’S INVESTOR RELATIONS TEAM
The Investor Relations team is the END Fund’s fundraising team, responsible for identifying, mobilizing, and nurturing meaningful and impactful partnerships to advance the END Fund’s mission to end neglected tropical diseases. Driven by the transformative power of collaborative philanthropy, the team works alongside a consortium of investors and champions to help harness and promote funding opportunities for historically excluded communities.
THE OPPORTUNITY
The END Fund is looking for a fundraising professional with deep foundation partnerships expertise to support the management and growth of its portfolio, as it continues to rapidly scale and strategically diversify its portfolio of investors (donors) and NTD investment opportunities. The successful candidate will support the management of a portfolio of foundations globally, and work in collaboration with the Director to develop grant proposals and concept notes for new investment opportunities and write reports for active grants. We are looking to onboard a candidate who is mission-oriented, an excellent written communicator, and who thrives in a cross-collaborative and dynamic environment.
The Senior Associate Director will play an integral role in the continued success of the Investor Relations team and, thus, the broader organization’s high-level financial goals. Together with the Director, they will manage 7—and 8-figure gifts from foundations globally (United States, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East). A natural and collegial team player, the successful candidate will be experienced in grant writing and reporting, including working cross-departmentally with programs and finance colleagues to develop winning proposals and informative, compelling reports.
This position will report directly to the Director of Investor Relations focused on institutional giving but will work cross-departmentally across all levels to efficiently deliver on their assigned deliverables. The day-to-day of this position is likely to entail proactive and reactive donor communication (written and verbal), extensive writing, coordination with other departments to secure programmatic and financial data needed for proposal development and reporting, and participation in interdepartmental meetings to ensure a holistic understanding of the organization’s programs, financials, and impact story. This is an individual contributor position with no direct reports.
