Job description

Overview

Search for Common Ground is establishing a roster of vetted Proposal Development Consultants and is seeking consultants with different experience levels (junior, mid-level, senior) to provide short-term proposal development services. Search works with a variety of donors around the world, ranging from European governments and the UK to multilateral bodies such as the EU and UN to foundations and corporations. While we have internal program development staff, we also use proposal development consultants at times to fill gaps in availability, capacity, and expertise.

This solicitation is to identify individuals to be added to the pre-vetted roster, from which program development staff can identify and rapidly hire consultants to respond to a specific program development opportunity. Being included on this roster does not guarantee funding or a consultancy with Search, but it will place those consultants in the roster from which Search will draw as needed. The Proposal Developer’s main responsibility is to lead individual proposal development and writing processes for Search for Common Ground. Proposal Developers will work as part of the Business Development team in supporting Search’s regional program development staff around the world, and will be based remotely.

How to apply

Please click on the Search’s consultants application form (here) and select “Proposal writing” as your area of expertise to send your information to the vetting committee by December 31, 2025. Note that you will be expected to upload your resume, at least two references and some writing samples to support your application.
