Business Development Lead at Peace Shapers

Role Summary

• We are seeking a Business Development Lead to drive partnerships, institutional engagements, and revenue growth for Peace Shapers.

This role is not about cold selling. It is about:

• opening doors,
• positioning Peace Shapers as a trusted authority,
• translating our work into clear value for school leaders, and
• converting interest into structured engagements.

Key Responsibilities

Institutional Partnerships

• Identify and engage private schools, school groups, NGOs, faith-based institutions, and education networks.
• Build relationships with school proprietors, principals, and administrators.
• Follow up on proposals, letters, and presentations professionally.

Sales & Revenue Growth

• Convert enquiries into paid programmes and consulting engagements.
• Clearly communicate Peace Shapers’ packages (Entry, Deepening, Transformation).
• Support pricing conversations and scope engagements appropriately.

Strategy & Market Insight

• Provide feedback on market resistance, objections, and decision dynamics.
• Help refine offers based on what schools actually respond to.
• Track leads, conversions, and pipeline status.

Collaboration

• Work closely with the Executive Director on positioning, proposals, and strategy.
• Occasionally support content ideas that build authority and trust.

Who This Role Is For

• Someone who understands schools as institutions, not just customers.
• Comfortable speaking with senior decision-makers.
• Patient, strategic, and relationship-oriented.
• Able to sell systems and long-term value, not quick fixes.

Preferred Background

• Business development, partnerships, sales, consulting, or institutional relations.
• Experience in education, NGOs, social enterprises, or professional services is a plus.
• Strong communication and follow-up skills.
