The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Orbis
International in the search for a Senior Proposal Development
Manager.
Reporting to the Global Director of Foundation & Government
Relations, the Senior Proposal Development Manager will initiate
prospect contacts and develop, draft, and coordinate compelling
multidisciplinary and multi-collaborative proposal submissions,
ranging in size, scope, and complexity matching Orbis needs with
donor priorities. The Senior Proposal Development Manager will
research and identify new grant prospects, steward and build
relationships, draft robust proposals and other collateral
materials, and manage the submission of proposals to a range of
private and public funding agencies and institutional
donors.
Orbis International is a non-profit that brings people together to
fight avoidable blindness. With its network of partners, it
mentors, trains, and inspires local teams to fight blindness in
their communities. Orbis believes that no one should live a life of
unnecessary blindness, simply because of where they were born. Its
mission is to use its amazing network of partners, supporters,
staff, and sector leading volunteers to empower local communities
with the skills and resources necessary to fight blindness on their
own. It works alongside eye teams in communities to provide
training and guidance to leave a long-term eye care legacy that
will restore vision for generations to come. Orbis builds its
networks on trust and commitment and seeks to collaborate with
corporate partners, fellow NGOs, and local hospitals. It has made a
promise to local eye teams to always strive for excellent,
sustainable results that will suit its local partners’ needs.
Training and collaboration is at the very heart of everything Orbis
does. With the help of its world-leading volunteers, it provides
training to all types of healthcare workers – from doctors and
nurses in regional hospitals to district leaders and teachers in
remote areas. With the help of its amazing partners and supporters
Orbis has been a pioneer in the prevention and treatment of
blindness for nearly 40 years. It works where the need for eye care
is greatest and where it can do the most good. It has conducted
training projects in over 92 countries, over 78 with the Flying Eye
Hospital, where it works closely with governments and health
ministries. It has long-term projects around the world across
countries including India, Bangladesh, Nepal, China, Vietnam,
Ethiopia, South Africa, Ghana, Zambia, Cameroon, Peru, Mongolia,
and Indonesia. Orbis has positively impacted the lives of
millions of adults and children enabling them to see the world
clearly and reach their full potential.
Orbis International recognizes and values the intersecting
identities people bring to the organization. As a global
organization, Orbis welcomes qualified applicants who reflect the
five Orbis values of Accountability, Caring, Commitment,
Excellence, and Trust. Orbis encourages qualified applicants from
diverse backgrounds, cultures, lived experience with their mission,
and/or those belonging to communities that have been historically
excluded and/or marginalized to apply. Frequently cited statistics
show that members of structurally marginalized and/or
underrepresented groups apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the
qualifications. Orbis encourages candidates to break that statistic
and to apply.
A bachelor's degree is required for this position as is at least
five years of relevant work experience. All applications must be
accompanied by a cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should be
responsive to the mission of Orbis International as well as the
responsibilities and qualifications presented in the
prospectus.
This is a fully remote opportunity. The Senior Proposal
Development Manager may work from a remote location with
preference to candidates with work authorization in Ethiopia,
Zambia, Ghana, Bolivia, Peru, Malaysia, India, Bangladesh, China,
Vietnam, Mongolia, South Africa, Kenya, United Kingdom, or the
United States. For those local to NYC who prefer to work
in an office setting some or part of the time, Orbis
International's New York office has temporary and permanent desk
solutions for employees that can accommodate those preferences.
