Director, global business development job description

The next five years present a unique window of opportunity for exponential impact on improving development outcomes. Nearly 100 countries around the world are at different stages of their journeys to set up digital public infrastructure to improve the lives of people. Such infrastructure can enable significant improvement in social protection, financial inclusion, food security, health and education outcomes, etc. We are looking for an inspiring leader who can help realize this promise globally.

In the 20th century, physical infrastructure – electrical grids, highways, mass plumbing – created unimaginable public value and prosperity. In the 21st century, digital public infrastructure (DPI) has the same potential, leveraging digital systems like digital payments, digital identification, and data exchange to enable the effective provision of essential society-wide functions. Over 50 countries around the world are working on setting up DPI as part of a wider ‘reset’ post-COVID-19. And over the last decade, tried and tested DPI solutions have been developed that these countries can leverage quickly.

However, building and sustaining DPI in a way that lays the groundwork for a more secure, inclusive, participatory digital ecosystem is one of the greatest challenges of our time. There is a five-to-eight-year window of opportunity to make sure that DPI is built in the right way. The choices countries make now will have consequences for decades to come.

Co-Develop was created to help countries navigate this process. Co-Develop is a global not-for-profit fund committed to helping countries advance toward a digital future that is inclusive, safe and equitable. Our methodology is indicated in our name: we support technologies that are built with communities, not just for them.

It’s clearer than ever that the world’s biggest problems are fundamentally connected. Now is the time to build solutions that are just as well connected. Join us to co-develop the foundations for a fairer future!

Co-Develop is seeking an experienced, passionate, and collaborative leader to make investments in the most impactful organizations and nurture a global portfolio that can bring to life the power of well thought out digital public infrastructure. We are looking for a person who is ready to imagine new ways of improving development outcomes leveraging DPI, eager to seize the moment, and build coalitions that can have a massive positive impact at population scale.

The Director, Global Investments, will spearhead the creation of our investments process, identify promising investable opportunities, build a world class team of investment professionals, steward due diligence from start to finish, and engage with diverse stakeholders to drive toward successful results. You will work closely with the CEO, the Director of Technology & Programs, the VP of Investments Strategy and other colleagues.
