This is a Temporary, Full Time vacancy that will close in {x} days at {xx:xx} BST.
About The Role
Team Purpose
Institutional funding is key for operationalizing Oxfam’s mandate globally and in the region. Institutional sources (including multilateral and bilateral agencies and donors) typically have decentralised operations, budgets and decision-making structures throughout the world. To engage effectively with these organisations Oxfam has an established global architecture that mirrors its key institutional relationships, builds stronger partnerships and delivers greater impact and influence at country, regional and global levels. This operational architecture also enables Oxfam to more readily purse multi-country / regional opportunities that are offered by institutional donors to address transnational issues such as migration, climate change, natural disasters and conflicts. Humanitarian crises which often cross-national borders also require standing capacity at regional levels to most effectively mobilise resources.
Job Purpose
The Regional Business Development Manager will lead on new business development in support of all countries in their region; creating, identifying and accessing new funding opportunities; maintaining a consistent standard of donor relationship and high-quality proposal development across variable country contexts; and will actively seek to grow income for the confederation through multi-country funding opportunities and consortium partnerships.
The Regional Business Development Manager will also support the Regional Director in providing strategic leadership on resource mobilisation across all countries in the region.
They will be responsible for developing and implementing the regions resource mobilisation strategies; supporting the Regional Director in building partnerships with regional donors and civil society stakeholders; identifying new funding opportunities; addressing key financial and reputational risks; and ensuring that there are strategies in place to maintain adequate skills and capacity, staffing and income within the portfolio of countries in the region.
The post holder will be expected to work across the confederation of Oxfam affiliates and the Oxfam International Secretariat in achieving the regional funding strategy and be the primary link for accessing technical fundraising assistance and support from the confederations fundraising architecture.

Who is Hoda?
I am Hodan Mohamed, I work in Oxfam Somalia Somaliland as a Public Health Engineering. I was born in Hargeisa, Somaliland, and I study for this field of engineering because I would like to add for the new design or the new intervention for the future, for the building in Somalia, construction and building in Somaliland for new intervention and new design to create more beautiful and more cities.
Career, parents, challenges
Yes, there are little women with this field. But if you want to follow your career or your hobbies that is not a big challenge. Maybe you pass the challenge and you are the first person, the leader, who makes this way. So maybe is a small challenge, but not a lot of challenge First my parents they liked me to study for other fields like medicine or accounting or something else. So but my hobby was to study for engineer. So they allowed me after more negotiation and more... My mother, I said I like to study for this field and they allowed me to study. There is no more a lot of challenge for my parents but they allowed me finally.
For the community, there is a lot of challenge, including they do not believe in women engineer, so maybe they say you are a woman this is impossible. Sometimes they say like that. But in the last times the community they accepted.
Hodan Work
I am monitoring the activity done by Oxfam in this area. Oxfam Somalia concentrates on WASH, Food Security, and Health projects mostly in Somaliland, but also in Puntland, where we have a small Field Office (FO) Garowe City, but mostly work via implementing partners. Other programmes concern youth employment, resilience (SOMREP), cash programming, and inclusive civic expression. There is a vision of further scaling projects in Puntland and extending operations towards South-Central Somalia, for which purpose a FO was established in Mogadishu City in 2021.
The WASH work implemented by Oxfam in Somalia consists of:
- Clean water via cash for water, drilling boreholes and rehabilitating water sources
- Hygiene kits and menstrual hygiene management kits, hygiene promotion
- Construction of sanitation facilities (latrines)
- Multi-use of water sources, integrating with FSL and Protection interventions (SOMREP), triple nexus approach.

Khodeza Work
“I have the opportunity to work directly with vulnerable people from war and disaster-torn contexts through Oxfam. I can feel their emotions just by being with them. The value of the smile on their faces and the gleam in their eyes after receiving humanitarian assistance is immeasurable. It makes me especially proud when women are aware of their rights and are motivated to do something new, thanks to Oxfam interventions.”
