Description de l'offre

Country: Senegal

Organization: Plan International

Closing date: 10 Apr 2026

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

The Regional Business Development Director serves as a strategic catalyst and enabler for Country Offices across the WACA region. The role drives both traditional ODA funding and non traditional financing, including innovative climate finance, development banks, Middle East donors, commercial contracts, CSR, blended finance, and philanthropic foundations. In response to a rapidly evolving donor landscape, the role strengthens CO competitiveness by brokering high value partnerships, enhancing market positioning, and developing multi country investment opportunities aligned with country priorities.

Anchored in a country driven and sub regional approach, the role is central to advancing Plan International’s ambition for diversified, sustainable, and locally led programming. The Director works to unlock new financing pathways, expand regional influence, and position Country Offices as partners of choice in delivering transformative impact for children and communities across the region.

What you’ll do:

The role operates in a highly networked and matrixed environment, collaborating closely with colleagues across the Plan International federation. It requires someone who can confidently set priorities across multiple stakeholders, provide strong strategic leadership on resource mobilisation, and drive results without close day to day supervision.

The successful candidate will be an experienced external influencer, skilled in representing Plan International to high level partners, and highly effective in attracting, cultivating, and securing funding from diverse donors and financing mechanisms.

  • Lead donor engagement across the region and build strategic partnerships

  • Unlock innovative financing models and emerging donor markets

  • Support COs with high quality, multi country proposal development

  • Strengthen BD capacity, market intelligence, and resource mobilisation strategies

  • Represent Plan International with governments, donors, and intergovernmental bodies

What we’re looking for:

  • 10+ years’ experience in fundraising, partnerships, or business development

  • Strong track record securing non traditional and innovative funding

  • Deep knowledge of African donor landscapes

  • Excellent relationship building, negotiation and communication skills

  • Fluent in English and French

  • Ability to thrive in a matrixed, multicultural environment

Please respond to the requirements of the role in your cover letter.

Only CVs and cover letters in English will be accepted.

Location: Hybrid working. This role must be based in Dakar, Senegal.

Expert Application Advice

Positionnement — Votre lettre de motivation doit répondre à une seule question : pourquoi VOUS pour CE poste précis à CE moment ? Évitez les lettres génériques — une phrase sur ce que vous apportez spécifiquement vaut mieux que trois paragraphes généraux.

KPIs commerciaux — Chiffre d'affaires généré, croissance du portefeuille, quota atteint (%) : ces 3 métriques sont obligatoires en entretien senior. Préparez aussi votre plan des 100 premiers jours — les directeurs commerciaux qui arrivent avec un plan sont systématiquement plus crédibles.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.
