2. Leverage storytelling, data, and partnerships to communicate impact and deepen supporter commitment.
3. Collaborate with the Communications team to develop fundraising collateral, digital appeals, and donor-facing content.

3. Proposal & Report Development

1. Write funding proposals, donor reports, and grant applications tailored to the priorities of each partner.
2. Ensure timely delivery of reporting requirements and strategic alignment between TFP's goals and partner expectations.
3. Collaborate with internal teams to gather data and impact stories that showcase Teach For Pakistan's outcomes.

4. Events, Visits & Experiences

1. Organize and lead fundraising events, donor visits, and school showcases that bring our mission to life and strengthen relationships.
2. Plan engaging touchpoints that offer stakeholders insight into our Fellows' work and students' growth.

5. Government Relations

1. Maintain strong working relationships with government bodies including the Ministry of Federal Education & Professional Training (MoFEPT), the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE), Sindh Education & Learning Department (SELD) and other relevant government bodies.
2. Identify shared goals and areas for strategic collaboration to advance education reform at scale.

6. Team Leadership & Project Management

1. Mentor and support junior team members in donor research, outreach, and communications.
2. Track donor pipeline progress using appropriate systems and tools; maintain accurate donor records and reporting timelines.
3. Resolve partnership challenges proactively with professionalism and tact.
