5 reasons to work in business development
By Kate Warren
When aspiring aid workers think of a career in international
development, it's rare they envision spending their days scouting
requests for
proposals, writing key personnel sections or developing a Gantt chart work plan.
Yet business development comprises a hefty percentage of jobs in the
sector and is critical to many organizations engaged in global
development work.
International development implementers can only do good if they have
the funds to do so.
Aside from traditional fundraising tactics, a vast percentage of
funding comes from bilateral or multilateral agencies.
These awards are competitive — and it's common that dozens of
organizations are vying for the same money.
With millions, and even billions, of funding dollars at stake, global
development organizations employ teams dedicated to responding and
winning these proposals.
There are a variety of business development roles at all career
levels, including proposal coordination, recruitment of key personnel,
cost proposal development, proposal writing, research and business
intelligence gathering.
For those looking to break into global development, or find their next
challenge in this sector, here are five reasons why working in
business development can be a good career move.
