ABOUT THE ROLE
CARE Canada’s bold Strategic Plan, From Caring Comes Courage (2021 – 2027), sets out CARE Canada’s commitment to bring all our resources, talent, and expertise together to unlock women’s leadership for a gender-just future. It recognizes that to lead change and realize a better life for herself and her community, every woman needs to be safe, healthy, and have a dignified livelihood. 

The Director, Resource Mobilization and Partnerships leads the development of innovative programming and resource mobilization strategies in support of CARE Canada’s mission, while strengthening and expanding strategic partnerships. The Director also contributes to shaping the organization’s strategic direction from a partnership, revenue, and program development perspective. This role has a primary focus on institutional funding—particularly with Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and other Government of Canada departments—while working in close collaboration with colleagues leading private-sector engagement as part of an integrated revenue approach.


WHAT YOU BRING
  • 7+ years of relevant experience in international development, business development, or a related field.
  • Graduate level degree in applicable area of expertise or equivalent combination of education and work experience.
  • Demonstrated experience leading and growing institutional funding portfolios, particularly with Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and/or other bilateral government donors.
  • Proven ability to build, manage, and influence senior-level government relationships, including through direct, in-person engagement with decision-makers.
  • Strong understanding of Government of Canada funding systems, priorities, and decision-making processes, with the ability to identify and convert opportunities into funded programs.
  • Demonstrated experience developing and advancing innovative funding approaches, including public-private partnerships, blended finance, or other non-traditional financing models.
  • Strong understanding of evolving funding landscapes and a track record of identifying and pursuing new and emerging revenue opportunities.
  • Proven ability to lead end-to-end business development processes—from pipeline development and go/no-go decision-making through high-quality proposal submission and post-award positioning.
  • Demonstrated experience translating funding opportunities into strong program concepts and proposals, drawing on knowledge of humanitarian, development, and/or nexus programming.
  • Experience mobilizing and coordinating cross-functional teams (e.g., technical experts, Country Offices, partners) to deliver competitive, high-quality proposals under tight timelines.
  • Strong experience in partnership development, including working within consortia and co-creation processes with Global South partners, and a demonstrated commitment to locally led approaches and addressing power imbalances.
  • Experience building and managing strategic partnerships with a range of actors, including government, NGOs, and—ideally—private sector or non-traditional partners.
  • Sound understanding of business principles and their application to international development, including CARE’s approach to market-based and partnership-driven solutions to poverty.
  • Excellent leadership, relationship management, and communication skills, with the ability to influence across teams and represent the organization externally.
  • Demonstrated ability to work strategically in an evolving and competitive environment, driving innovation while maintaining focus on results and revenue growth.
