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 individuals with a knack for generating business and securing grants from government, philanthropic, and corporate 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 engaging with diverse stakeholders, from the Chief of Social Impact at a B corp to a Program Officer at a family foundation or a Director at a County Arts Council.

As a Business Development Manager, your role will involve identifying new opportunities to generate revenue and foster business growth.

We are looking for someone who can:

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

The responsibilities include:

• Driving development initiatives and growing our client base while championing our mission.
• Building on existing research to identify grant and B2B opportunities in social justice, economic justice, arts, media, and movement building projects at the cultural nexus of social change.
• Leading the planning and preparation of proposals, reports, and other materials for diverse 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-related projects.
• Researching potential funders and presenting opportunity summaries to management to help prioritize prospects.
• Coordinating with development teams of clients on proposal crafting for Big Bowl of Ideas concepts.
• Tracking grant deadlines to ensure timely submissions.

Qualifications include:

• BA or MA in Business Administration or Business Management, or 3+ years of experience in development teams within nonprofit or B2B sales environments.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to balance transparency and discretion.
• Experience in startup or small business environments, demonstrating flexibility and multitasking ability.
• Excellent proposal writing and presentation skills.
• Resourceful research capabilities.
• Familiarity with art, design, video, and event production, with the ability to communicate within these fields.
• Dedication to social and economic justice and improving the world.
