• Factor in international operational considerations (regulatory context, local setup, staffing, logistics) when building plans.
• Collaborate with program, finance, operations, and regional teams to gather input and validate assumptions.
• Write clear, well-structured business plans and proposals for leadership, board, and donor audiences.
• Present plans and budgets to stakeholders and incorporate feedback into revisions.

• Ability to translate qualitative goals into quantifiable, measurable targets.
• Ability to work effectively across diverse, cross-functional teams.
• Prior experience in the non-profit/NGO/foundation sector is a plus, but not required.
