PACT Overview A global nonprofit with experience in more than 60 countries, Pact fosters thriving, resilient communities that chart their own development paths. We deliver solutions that are rooted in evidence and driven by data. Department Public Business Development (PUBD) - The Business Development team drives Pact's mission forward by leading the pursuit and capture of new funding from U.S. government, foundation, corporate, and institutional funders. The team leads across all parts of the fundraising cycle, from early opportunity identification, teaming strategy, and positioning, through proposal design, technical writing, and pricing.

BD staff lead the proposal process end-to-end, while partnering closely with technical practice leads, country teams, and finance to build competitive, compliant bids. Ideal candidates stay organized and effective under proposal deadlines, adapt quickly when requirements or priorities, and bring a collaborative, collegial spirit to cross-team work.

With expert knowledge to align Pact’s new business and fundraising goals with diverse funder priorities, the Business Development Manager provides overall leadership to proposal teams, while also ensuring quality assurance and compliance of proposal submissions.
