Restless Development Senior Investments & Partnerships Manager - Jobs in Dar es Salaam - Tanzania
We know young people have the power to solve the challenges we face in our world, but they are being overlooked and ignored. 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 can’t do any of this without talented, creative individuals at every level of our organisation.
We are currently seeking a skilled and motivated Senior Investment & Partnership Manager. This role will oversee and lead the strengthening of all aspects of Restless Development Tanzania Investment & Partnership Unit ensuring that the hub has the funds to administer and implement different programs across Tanzania.
