**SayPro management of Development

SayPro has developed a mobile savings model that allows farmers to invest their own funds in high-quality seed, fertilizer, and agricultural training to increase their harvest and income by 50-100%. Our goal is to help 1 million farmers lift themselves out of poverty. SayPro has a highly successful fundraising program currently focused on three complementary functional areas: foundations, institutional strategic partnerships, and principal giving. SayPro is looking for this director to complete our leadership team and be primarily focused on securing new relationships and opportunities while closely partnering with colleagues who support stewardship, proposal design, and donor management. Join a winning team that is changing the lives of hardworking farmers across Africa. About the Role: Our ideal candidate is a dynamic leader and communicator, self-starter, and strategic thinker who has advanced entrepreneurial skills and exceptional relationship-building skills. They will have a proven track record of securing high-value, multi-annual, funding commitments and will be someone who thrives on meeting ambitious targets. They will have experience across a range of private donor contexts and will be adept at working in traditional funding environments as well as engaging with newly emerging philanthropists and impact investor communities. SayPro is a highly collaborative development team, so this candidate will also be an active thought partner, ally, and support to fundraising colleagues – sharing ideas, leads and resources.
