Are you an experienced monitoring and evaluation specialist in the humanitarian sector?

Have you successfully built relationships with a variety of stakeholders to generate learning in humanitarian responses? 

Then we'd love to hear from you!

This is an exciting opportunity for a senior MEL professional who wants their expertise to directly support women-led change, influence donor practice, and shape learning across a global federation.

ActionAid UK is looking for an experienced and values-driven Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Manager to play a pivotal role in strengthening the quality, impact and accountability of our development and humanitarian programmes. This is a senior specialist opportunity where your expertise won’t sit on a shelf, it will actively shape high-quality development and humanitarian programmes, strengthen accountability to the communities we work with, and help generate the evidence that moves resources, decisions and systems in the right direction. You’ll help ensure our MEL practice is led by feminist principles and decolonising approaches, centring the knowledge, leadership and priorities of women, girls and marginalised communities in the places where we work. Pushing for evidence that reflects lived realities, valuing qualitative and participatory methods alongside numbers, and challenging extractive data collection and “parachute evaluation” approaches will be central to the role.

In this role you’ll sit at the centre of programme quality, business development and learning. You’ll work closely with colleagues across ActionAid UK and the wider ActionAid Federation, bringing strong MEL leadership into proposal development, project design, inception and delivery. You’ll help ensure that our bids and grants are built on realistic and resourced results frameworks, strong log frames and Theories of Change, and practical monitoring approaches that can stand up to donor scrutiny while staying grounded in what matters locally.

Just as importantly, you’ll help ActionAid UK become sharper at learning and telling the story of change. You’ll drive evidence generation on effectiveness, coordinate learning forums and MEL clinics, and document and share examples of impact internally and externally—including through our contract management systems—to influence practice, build credibility and strengthen our profile. You’ll collaborate with colleagues such as the Women, Peace and Security team to support research strategy delivery, maintain strong internal knowledge assets and develop clear, compelling capacity statements for different audiences. 

We’re looking for someone with substantial experience designing and strengthening MEL approaches for humanitarian and development programming, ideally in areas such as women’s rights, VAWG, protection, livelihoods/economic security, resilience and adaptation. You’ll bring deep confidence with results-based planning and participatory approaches, strong knowledge of project cycle management, and a clear ability to coach others and improve systems and not just deliver outputs. You’ll be comfortable representing ActionAid UK externally in MEL spaces and networks, helping to influence policy and practice and building relationships across the sector. 

This role is based in London with hybrid working, requires a DBS check, includes some travel, and offers the chance to be part of an organisation committed to feminist principles, safeguarding, equality, diversity and inclusion, and becoming an anti-racist, decolonised INGO.

Who we are

We’ve been on the frontline of the world’s response to HIV and AIDS for over 25 years, working with marginalised people who are denied HIV prevention and treatment simply because of who they are and where they live.

Set up in 1993 to work with community groups in the countries most affected by the global AIDS epidemic, we’ve continually adapted our approach, looking for innovative ways to break down the barriers that marginalise people living with, or at risk of acquiring, HIV. All with one goal in mind – a future free from AIDS for everyone, everywhere.

Everything we do is rooted in our two key beliefs:

• That the lives of all human beings are of equal value.
• That everyone has the right to access the HIV information and services they need for a healthy life.

Today, we work with communities in more than 40 countries, taking local, national and global action on HIV, health and human rights.

As a global partnership that is open to everyone, we can only do what we do – and achieve what we want to achieve – by working with partners from grassroots community groups to national governments. Our partners drive change where it matters, shaking up the status quo and making a noise on issues the world often chooses to ignore.
