Fundraising and Donor Relations Manager - CIFOR, Bogor

The Center for International Forestry Research advances human wellbeing, environmental conservation and equity by conducting research to inform policies and practices that affect forests in developing countries. We are one of 15 centres within the CGIAR. Our headquarters are in Bogor, Indonesia, and we have offices in Asia, Africa and South America.

Not many research centres have a global engagement with a broad range of forest-related issues, stress the perspectives of poor countries and communities, combine policy and research, question conventional wisdom and constantly focus on how to have impact. CIFOR is one of those few. We are looking for a Fundraising and Donor Relations Manager who share our passion for enhancing the role of forests in human well-being and environmental conservation, and our commitment to professionalism, innovation, impact, and collaboration.

The Fundraising and Donor Relations Manager will develop and implement a resource mobilisation strategy for CIFOR with specific targets for increasing overall revenues, and the portion raised from non-traditional donors. The Manager will report to the Deputy Director General.

We are searching for an excellent communicator with outstanding writing and negotiation skills who is able to collaborate with CIFOR’s research programmes and communications team in fundraising efforts and to engage effectively with current and prospective multilateral, bilateral, corporate and foundation donors.
