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 who have a knack for securing business, government, and philanthropic grants that support our mission to create culturally competent and design-forward solutions for social change.

We generate funding from sectors including business, government, and philanthropy. You should be comfortable engaging 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, you’ll identify new opportunities to generate revenue and help grow the organization.

We are looking for someone who can:

• Build the development arm of our company by enhancing our funder research and proposal capacity for large-scale projects.
• Lead B2B efforts to market to and secure new business opportunities, especially 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 efforts and growing our client base.
• Researching grant and B2B opportunities in social justice, economic justice, arts, media, and movement building projects at the intersection of culture and social change.
• Leading proposal planning and preparation, including reports and other materials for various funding opportunities or client needs.
• Collaborating with the design team to develop online and print communications collateral for donors and partners, with a focus on compelling presentations.
• Developing additional materials and supporting other grant projects as needed.
• Researching potential funders and presenting opportunity summaries to management; helping prioritize prospects.
• Coordinating with development teams of clients to craft proposals for Big Bowl of Ideas projects.
• Tracking grant deadlines to ensure timely submission of materials.

Qualifications include:

• BA or MA in Business Administration or Business Management, or 3+ years of experience leading development teams in nonprofit or B2B sales environments.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to switch seamlessly between transparency and discretion.
• Experience in startup or small business environments, with a flexible, multi-hat approach and ability to handle high-stress situations.
• Strong proposal and business writing skills, capable of delivering pitches and presentations to senior management.
• Resourceful research skills capable of securing visibility and opportunities.
• Familiarity with art, design, video, and event production, and the ability to communicate about these fields effectively.
• A commitment to social and economic justice and making a positive impact in the world.
