ALX and Frontier, as part of the broader African Leadership Group, are ambitious, high-impact institutions designed to expand access to opportunity, talent, and economic mobility at scale. We are looking for a highly capable Fundraising & Partnerships Specialist to help power that growth. This role sits at the center of our fundraising and partnership efforts. It is ideal for someone who combines strong writing, sharp research, excellent project management, and a high level of ownership. You will help turn strategy into action by supporting donor and partner cultivation, preparing compelling materials, managing live opportunities, and ensuring strong follow-through across a fast-moving pipeline. This is not a purely administrative role. It is a high-trust execution role for someone who is energized by helping great ideas become real opportunities and real opportunities become real philanthropic support.

Support the development and management of fundraising and partnerships pipelines across philanthropy, corporate, and strategic stakeholder channels

Conduct research on prospective funders, partners, and influential individuals; synthesize findings into clear, decision-useful briefing notes

Prepare high-quality first drafts of concept notes, proposals, donor updates, outreach emails, meeting briefs, and other external materials

Help manage the full lifecycle of opportunities, from initial research and qualification through follow-up, proposal development, submission, and stewardship
