Job description

Big Bowl of Ideas is seeking a self-motivated, organized, and resourceful Business Development Manager.

If you like doing good for the world and generating resources to do so, we’re looking for people who excel at generating business and securing grants from government, philanthropic, and business sectors that support our mission to create culturally competent and design-forward solutions for social change.

We generate funding from multiple sectors: business, government, and philanthropy. You should be comfortable communicating with a Chief of Social Impact at a B corp, a Program Officer at a family foundation, or a Director at a County Arts Council.

As a Business Development Manager, your role will include identifying new business opportunities to generate revenue and support our growth.

We are looking for someone who can:

• Build the development arm of our company by enhancing our funder research and proposal capabilities for large-scale projects.
• Lead B2B efforts to market to and secure leads from government institutions and socially responsible corporations.
• Assist current and prospective nonprofit clients in finding funding solutions for creative communications projects.
• This position is likely 10 hours/week, with potential to increase to 20-25 hours/week based on needs.

Key responsibilities include:

• Driving development efforts, growing our client base, and championing our mission.
• Researching grant and B2B opportunities in social justice, economic justice, arts, media, and movement building projects.
• Leading proposal, report, and material preparation for various funding opportunities.
• Collaborating with the design team to develop online and print communication materials for donors and partners.
• Developing additional materials and supporting other grant projects as needed.
• Researching potential funders and presenting opportunity summaries to management, helping prioritize prospects.
• Coordinating with client development teams on proposal crafting.
• Tracking grant deadlines to ensure timely submissions.

Qualifications include:

• BA or MA in Business Administration/Management or 3+ years of experience in development or B2B sales within nonprofit or related sectors.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to balance transparency and discretion.
• Experience in startup or small business environments, with flexibility and ability to handle high-stress situations.
• Excellent proposal and business writing skills, capable of presenting to senior management.
• Resourceful research skills.
• Familiarity with art, design, video, and event production, with the ability to communicate about these fields.
• Dedication to social and economic justice and making a positive impact.
