Establishing strategic alliances to co-design and deliver impactful education programs in underserved regions. Facilitating collaborative grant applications and shared impact reporting with partners.
• Program and Grant Management: overseeing the development and management of grant programs, including scholarships, youth action grants, and new initiatives aligned with IB’s mission.

Facilitate complex decision-making processes involving multiple stakeholders, including internal departments, external partners, and donor organizations, often in multicultural and cross-sectoral contexts. Navigate ambiguity and evolving priorities, balancing short-term opportunities with long-term strategic goals.
