Introduction:

Max Foundation is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring a healthy start in life for every child, particularly in vulnerable communities in Bangladesh and Ethiopia. Since its establishment, the foundation has made significant strides in combating child mortality through innovative and sustainable interventions in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), Nutrition, Food security, Climate Change, Child Disability and maternal health. The foundation's approach leverages evidence-based strategies and fosters dynamic partnerships with local communities, government bodies, and the private sector to create resilient ecosystems for child health. With a strong focus on inclusivity, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness, Max Foundation has impacted millions of lives, particularly in Bangladesh, where it has implemented various successful projects since 2012. The organization's commitment to data-driven, entrepreneurial, and impact-oriented methods has led to notable achievements, such as significant reductions in child stunting and undernutrition.

Max Foundation's core strategies revolve around three primary focus areas: Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH), Food & Nutrition Security (FNS), and Maternal & Adolescent

Health (MAH). To maximize the effectiveness and sustainability of their interventions, we apply two critical lenses: Climate Change Resilience and Gender Equity & Social Inclusion (GESI). The organization is committed to empowering local communities through capacity building, fostering market-based solutions by supporting micro-entrepreneurs, and strengthening systems by collaborating with various stakeholders. Max Foundation also emphasizes continuous improvement and data-driven decision-making to enhance their approaches. Our ultimate goal is to provide a healthy start in life for as many children as possible, ensuring long-term positive impact through innovative and inclusive strategies.

As Max Foundation continues to expand its reach and innovate its programs, it remains dedicated to empowering communities and fostering sustainable development to ensure that every child not only survives but thrives.

To further our objectives, we are seeking a highly motivated and dynamic Senior Manager for Business Development and Strategic Partnership Building.
