* A track record of securing six-figure, multi-year grants.
* Strong writing skills, with the ability to create compelling funding proposals.
* Experience managing relationships with funders and internal colleagues.
* Proficiency in fundraising CRMs (such as Raisers Edge) and financial reporting.
* A team-focused approach, with an eye for detail and a strategic mindset.
