Business Development Manager

The Library Project is an international non-profit that donates local language children's libraries to underfunded, rural schools. We also conduct Literacy Programs and Teacher Trainings. We are now looking to fill our new position of a Business Development Manager (BDM).
The BDM's main responsibility will be to build new corporate partnerships both inside and outside of Vietnam. These partnerships will provide schools with high-quality children's libraries and give companies a meaningful way to give back to the community. The BDM will be responsible for negotiating terms and creating proposals. The BDM will need to have a "big picture" mindset in order to create partnerships that are financially necessary for the organization and equally beneficial for our partner companies and beneficiary schools. The BDM will draft donor reporting and occasionally help with external communication via blogs and social media. This position is very externally facing and will often act as the face of the organization in Vietnam.
We are currently a small organization, so we’re looking for a candidate who is highly motivated, energetic and a self-starter. This is a great opportunity to use your strong communication and networking skills to help improve education in Vietnam.
