Knowledge Management & Proposal Development Manager at Emeraid International Group

The opportunity

Make EIG's verified experience, methods and institutional knowledge reusable, current and secure; turn that evidence into compliant, credible proposals without relying on the CEO as the default writer, editor or document finder.

Core Responsibilities

• Manage Group knowledge: Build a secure, searchable repository with consistent naming, version control, document ownership, review dates and clear separation of approved and draft materials.
• Maintain verified credentials: Keep project sheets, CVs, references, registrations and policies current and submission-ready, accurately attributing experience, contributions and results to the relevant legal entity.
• Coordinate opportunities and bids: Track opportunities, assess eligibility, prepare bid/no-bid recommendations and manage compliance requirements, contributor deadlines and submission records.
• Personally develop proposals: Write and edit compelling, evidence-based proposals, concept notes, methodologies and capability statements without relying on the CEO as the default writer.
• Ensure quality and timely submission: Coordinate contributors, resolve gaps and align narratives, work plans, staffing and evidence. Obtain CFO approval of financial content and ensure authorised submissions meet requirements and deadlines.
• Capture and reuse learning: Convert delivery lessons, methodologies, tools and case studies into approved resources that strengthen bids, implementation and internal learning.
• Protect information integrity: Enforce confidentiality, access controls and reuse permissions. Use approved digital and AI tools with source traceability and human verification; never fabricate credentials or expose restricted information.
• Improve performance and reduce CEO dependence: Track bid outcomes and recurring weaknesses, implement improvements and own routine editing, document retrieval and follow-up, escalating material decisions with clear recommendations.

Essential capability and relevant experience

• At least five years of relevant experience in proposal development, consulting, knowledge management, research or donor-funded programming, with evidence of both writing and organised knowledge reuse.
• A relevant degree or an equivalent professional pathway in development, economics, business, information/knowledge management, communications or a related discipline.
• A portfolio of proposals or substantial technical writing that may lawfully be shared, plus an example of a repository, evidence library or document-control workflow personally built.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret a solicitation, coordinate busy contributors, manage parallel deadlines and identify unsupported or inconsistent claims.
• Strong Word, spreadsheet and document-management capability. Able to use structured metadata, version control and access permissions without requiring a large IT implementation.
• Development-sector or professional-services procurement experience is desirable. Specialist mastery of every EIG sector, an advanced degree and prior director-level titles are not required.
