About the role

CDRI is seeking a Grant Scouting and Resource Mobilisation Consultant to elevate its institutional capacity in tracking, mapping, and securing high-value strategic funding opportunities.
The role focuses on advancing CDRI competitive edge to successfully secure large-scale regional and international grants.
Working closely with CDRI's management and research teams, the consultant will identify high-value funding streams, map out donor landscapes, and actively drive the co-writing, structuring, and early-stage preparation of complex grant applications.
The consultant will also provide technical assistance, strategic writing intervention, and staff coaching to upgrade proposal development systems.
This hands-on guidance toward the right funding sources—combined with targeted refinement of narrative-writing capabilities—will build CDRI's long-term capacity to secure and manage external funding through sustainable systems and institutional learning.

Requirements

Master's Degree in International Development, Public Policy, Development Studies, Administration, or a related field.
Grant writing, scouting, donor mapping, proposal development, and institutional resource mobilisation for 8 years as a minimum.
Proven success in identifying and securing funding from bilateral, multilateral, philanthropic, international donors and the private sector.
Experience supporting social research institutes, universities, think tanks or international organisations.
Strong understanding of donor compliance requirements, fund landscape mapping and proposal evaluation processes.
Outstanding English writing, editing, and communication skills.
Previous experience working in Southeast Asia or the broader Asian context is highly desirable but not mandatory.
