The Organisation

 

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child but know this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is girls who are most affected.

 

Working together with children, young people, supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and vulnerable children face. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood and we enable children to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

 

For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries.

 

We won’t stop until we are all equal.

 

The Opportunity 

 

Plan International is seeking a strategic Business Development Manager to lead our fundraising and resource mobilisation efforts in Ukraine. This is a pivotal role in supporting our humanitarian response and ensuring that gender equity remains at the heart of our programming.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

  • Lead and coordinate fundraising initiatives aligned with the Plan International Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Response Strategy.
  • Build and maintain a strong pipeline of funding opportunities from institutional donors, UN agencies, corporates, foundations, and public giving.
  • Oversee the development and submission of high-quality grant proposals from concept to award.
  • Cultivate and manage relationships with donors and national offices, positioning Plan International as a leader in gender equity in humanitarian settings.
  • Support partner organisations in strengthening their business development capacity.
  • Ensure effective internal coordination across programme, finance, HR, and operations teams for successful grant acquisition.
  • Monitor donor trends, risks, and opportunities to inform strategy and messaging.
  • Lead on grant compliance, cost recovery, and administration, ensuring all documentation is in place before project start-up.
  • Participate in strategic decision-making processes, including Go/No-Go reviews and bid team formation.
  • Produce compelling marketing materials to proactively engage donors and partners.

 

About You

You are a strategic thinker and persuasive communicator with a passion for humanitarian work and gender equity. You bring:

  • Extensive experience in business development, international development, or a related field.
  • Proven success in writing and securing donor proposals in complex emergency settings.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
  • Strong knowledge of donor funding requirements and humanitarian principles.
  • Experience working with multi-functional teams and managing high-pressure deadlines.
  • A deep understanding of the donor landscape and the ability to align donor priorities with programme needs.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.

Only CVs and cover letters in English will be accepted. 

 

Location: Kyiv, Ukraine. This is a global recruitment and support with relocation is available if required. 

Type of Role: 12-month Fixed term role

Reports to: Response Director

Closing Date: 16th October (midnight UK time)

 

Equality, diversity and inclusion is at the very heart of everything that Plan International stands for.

 

We want Plan International to reflect the diversity of the communities we work with, offering equal opportunities to everyone regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

 

Plan International is based on a culture of inclusivity and we strive to create a workplace environment that ensures every team, in every office, in every country, is rich in diverse people, thoughts, and ideas.

 

We foster an organisational culture that embraces our commitment to racial justice, gender equality, girls’ rights and inclusion.

 

Plan International believes that in a world where children face so many threats of harm, it is our duty to ensure that we, as an organisation, do everything we can to keep children safe. This means that we have particular responsibilities to children that we come into contact with and we must not contribute in any way to harming or placing children at risk.

 

A range of pre-employment checks will be undertaken in conformity with Plan International's Safeguarding Children and Young People policy. Plan International also participates in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme. In line with this scheme we will request information from applicants previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the applicant left employment. By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.

Please note that Plan International will never send unsolicited emails requesting payment from candidates.
