BACKGROUND:
CARE seeks a world of hope, inclusion, and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and all people live in dignity and security. CARE places a particular emphasis on women and girls and their dignity, empowering them to lead their communities out of poverty. In 2020, CARE worked in 104 countries, reaching 90 million people through more than 1,300 programs with an annual budget of $650 million. Every single one of those 90 million people has a story of resilience, community, strength, and hope—all things that bind us together, across every corner of the globe.
In Sierra Leone and Liberia, CARE staff and partners work tirelessly to save lives and address the root causes of poverty and social injustice through advocacy, partnerships, system strengthening, and programming in impact areas of Gender Equality and Women’s Economic Justice; Health; Humanitarian Assistance; Right to Food, Nutrition, and Water; and Climate Justice.
CARE’s Sierra Leone & Liberia Country Office is seeking an experienced and dynamic Program Development Advisor to lead funding cultivation efforts in both Liberia and Sierra Leone. Reporting to the Assistant Country Director of Program Quality and collaborating closely with the Country Director and Senior Management Team, the Program Development Advisor will coordinate relationships across internal CARE funding offices and teams, gather funding information, build in-country donor and stakeholder relationships, track and update resource mobilization plans and strategies, design and write proposals, and lead after-action reviews for proposal processes. The ideal candidate will not only possess relevant experience but will also be highly motivated, capable of rapid learning, and able to demonstrate tangible results.
