Job Opportunity for Asia Regional Resource Mobilization Manager – India at Restless Development India in Delhi/Mumbai/Bengaluru

About Restless Development.

We know young people have the power to solve the challenges we face in our world, but they are being sidelined. We are the agency that works with young people so they can lead in solving those challenges. Whether that means supporting communities to end child marriage or prevent HIV, we work with young people to change their lives and the lives of people in their communities. Our programmes are genuinely life-changing, but we can’t do any of this without talented, creative individuals at every level of our organisation.

About the Role
We are looking for our first Asia Regional Resource Mobilization Manager. The role will be based in India, with responsibility for raising funding for Restless Development’s work in India and Nepal and the South Asia region. The Asia Regional Resourcing Manager will be a key member of the International Resourcing Team, led by the Head of Resource Mobilization.

This is not your typical fundraising role. This is an opportunity for someone with experience in institutional fundraising with an interest in shaping how Restless Development can restore power to young leaders through fundraising and partnerships in line with the ambitions in our new Global Resourcing Strategy. This role would sit on the Resourcing Leadership Team – a team responsible for ensuring the performance of our Global Resourcing Strategy with representatives from each Hub.

We are looking for someone with a background in either trust & foundation, bilateral, multilateral or programme funding. The successful candidate will work with a network of Resource Mobilization staff around the world to help us achieve the ambitious target and objectives in our Global Resourcing Strategy; raising £36 million for Restless Development’s work over the next 3 years, whilst also ensuring that more resources are channeled to youth civil society organizations and grassroots youth movements in the Global South so that they are able to drive change in their communities. This role sits in our India Hub and could be based in either Delhi, Mumbai or Bangalore. There will be travel opportunities to our Nepal Hub and other international destinations.
