ABOUT THE ROLE 
The Program Development Manager is part of the Resource Mobilization and Partnerships team, reporting to the Director. The team, and this role, have a primary focus on institutional funding—particularly with Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and other Government of Canada departments—while working in close collaboration with colleagues leading private-sector engagement as part of an integrated revenue approach. The team also works closely with Program Quality and Program Management teams to support Country Offices to obtain the funds they need to deliver quality, impactful programs.  
 
Under the leadership of the Director, Resource Mobilization, the Program Development Manager plays an integral role in CARE Canada’s programming by facilitating and coordinating the design of quality, impactful programs that funders can’t resist. A collaborator at the core, they seamlessly bring together technical experts, program managers, country office teams, financial specialists, amongst many others, to reach this goal.  
 
They work in close collaboration with Revenue and Marketing, Global Programs, and Finance colleagues, as well as those across the CARE Confederation, to build and maintain funding and programming partnerships, leading to secured funding for CARE’s priority programmatic work. They ensure strong alignment of new program opportunities to the CARE International Program Strategy, with a particular focus on ensuring gender is meaningfully included in all program design, as well as all our program quality standards. They contribute to the success of the team and ensure that our work is aligned to CARE Canada’s values and approaches in all that they do, with decolonisation as a core principle.
