The International Crane Foundation (ICF) is seeking an experienced and motivated Grants Officer - International to advance our global mission of conserving cranes and the ecosystems, watersheds, and flyways essential to their survival.

The successful candidate will be an accomplished grant writer capable of developing six-figure and larger proposals, budgets, and pitches to a range of funders, including multilateral and bilateral agencies, corporations, and philanthropic organizations. They will manage grant activities, including budget coordination, reporting, and compliance, ensuring timely submissions and clear communication with donors and partners. The Grants Officer - International will also contribute to annual budget development for Africa and Asia programs, support financial reporting aligned with donor requirements, and coordinate with Senior Leadership on U.S.-based donor relations.
