Manager, Programme Design and Development

MSI Reproductive Choices is one of the world’s leading providers of sexual and reproductive healthcare. We believe that everyone should have the right to choose. From contraception to safe abortion and life-saving post-abortion care, we are committed to delivering compassionate, affordable, high-quality services for all.

Today, our organisation has around 10,000 team members working in 36 countries across the world. Our success lies in the fact that MSI teams are locally led, entrepreneurial and results-driven, and are passionate about delivering high quality, client-centred care in their own communities. As a social business, we focus on sustainable delivery, efficiency, and funding models that are built to last, so that the women and girls we serve today will have a choice in the future too.

We know that access to reproductive choice is life changing. For some, it can mean the ability to complete an education or start a career. For others, it means being able to look after the family they already have. For everyone, it means the freedom to decide their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world.

The Programme Design and Development (PDD) team, as part of MSI’s Global Funding, Innovation and Impact department, plays a critical role in securing new donor funding to drive the strategic growth of our global partnership. PDD works with MSI’s country programmes, donor leads, and technical teams to design programmes and develop winning proposals. The PDD team plays a pivotal role in supporting country programmes with strategic fundraising efforts and diversification of MSI’s institutional funding base.

As a part of MSI’s PDD team, you will independently lead the development of dynamic and successful programmes and proposals for institutional donors, including bilateral and multilateral donors, private foundations, charitable trusts, and host country governments. Working closely with in-country and technical teams across the organisation you confidently handle single- and multi-country proposals processes, including bid writing and coordination. You will also own the country fundraising action plans process, facilitate programme design processes, negotiate partnerships, and building the capacity of MSI country programmes to effectively conduct local donor engagement

For us, it’s vital that every MSI team member believes in and is committed to our organisational mission, vision and values.

Our values act as guiding principles, providing us with a clear direction. They set the tone for how we approach our work, interact with others and align ourselves as ‘One MSI’. It’s important that our team members truly resonate with our values and demonstrate them consistently, in all that they do.

We recruit talented, dynamic individuals with diverse backgrounds who share our mission and are focused on delivering measurable results. As an equal opportunity employer, we are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone can participate and contribute meaningfully. We value open-mindedness, curiosity, resilience, and a solutions-oriented mindset, alongside a commitment to promoting equality and safeguarding the welfare of both team members and clients.

We seek exceptional communicators who are self-motivated, solutions-driven, and aligned with MSI’s mission and entrepreneurial mindset. You should be dedicated to driving social change in an environment focused on sustainable impact, both locally and globally, and comfortable working with diverse teams in an ambiguous setting.
