This role is designed for a high-potential individual with strong donor engagement, proposal development, and business development capabilities. The successful candidate will be responsible for identifying, approaching, and securing funding opportunities from foundations, donors, development agencies, corporate social responsibility programs, philanthropic organizations, and other potential partners interested in strengthening health sector capacity.

The position will focus specifically on mobilizing resources for programs that upskill health sector employees across a wide range of technical and professional areas, including quality improvement, patient safety, infection prevention and control, clinical governance, leadership, digital health, data use, primary health care, health system strengthening, and other areas aligned with HCAC’s mandate and expertise.

Key Responsibilities

The selected candidate will be expected to proactively map and pursue funding opportunities from local, regional, and international donors and foundations. They will build and maintain strong relationships with potential funders, understand donor priorities, and translate HCAC’s technical strengths into compelling funding concepts and proposals.

The role requires excellent proposal writing skills, the ability to prepare concept notes and full proposals under tight timelines, and the capacity to coordinate quickly with technical teams to develop strong, relevant, and fundable submissions. The candidate should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where quick turnaround, strong follow-up, and high-quality written outputs are essential.

The candidate will also support the development of a donor pipeline, prepare tailored pitch materials, track funding opportunities, manage communications with potential partners, and help position HCAC as a leading regional partner for health workforce development and capacity building.
