About Us: At Devex, our vision is to do more good for more people by being the media platform for the global development community.
The Devex Partnerships team is an integral part of the Devex news function.
Through content sponsored by or created with input from our partners - leading NGOs, foundations, corporations, aid agencies and more - we help our audience better understand and advance key development issues.
We do this through events, content series, visual stories, surveys and much more.
If you're eager to bring your management, operations, and sales strategy skills to help us scale up our business development operations at Devex, we'd love to get to know you better.
We want to give you the opportunity to build on an already successful BD function, learn from sharp, committed colleagues and be part of an energizing culture that's low on bureaucracy and high on impact (and fun).
About You: A business development and sales leader who loves operations, sales strategy, systems and workflow - and who wants to put those skills to use at a mission-driven organization with a business culture.
Why This Position is Great for You: You have a chance to really impact and even transform the organizations that work every day to achieve the Global Goals and improve lives around the world.
We're a dynamic social enterprise that's growing fast and that has an open, collaborative culture.
There's no bureaucracy here.
You'll get to own your work with the support you need.
This is an established and already successful team, but you can help it grow even faster.
