Funding from institutional donors is making up an increasing volume of ActionAid’s income, and with our new Strategy 2028 we have plans and potential to further scale this up.

You will have a proven track record of implementing financial change management projects, including the ability to provide clear guidance on donor policies and procedures and of designing and delivering training and coaching to a wide audience. A team player, you must also be able to prioritise and work with minimal supervision and work effectively in a multi-cultural environment, often at a distance. Most importantly, you must have a passion for social justice, activism and advocacy and working within a culture of excellence that values experimentation and continuous improvement.

If you have the technical expertise and strong management skills to make a significant difference to our organisation we would be delighted to hear from you.

Given how critical our partnerships are to the success of Year Here, you’ll delight our diverse clients, faculty and strategic partners with your professional and friendly communications.

This is a full-time role.
 

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Some of the big challenges we want you to take on are to:

Manage the moving parts of the course to create a seamless experience.

You’ll be in the lead in producing Year Here – from sourcing imaginative venues across London to getting learning materials to the right place at the right time. You'll make facilitation a breeze for our faculty and they’ll love working with us as a result.

Maintain the behind-the-scenes systems that make the programme feel like a well-oiled machine.

We’re a small team but your mastery of our systems should make the Fellows feel like their time with us is managed effortlessly. We want learning to continue beyond each training session. This rests on user-friendly, up-to-date systems like Slack and Google Drive that Fellows trust and love using.

Manage our selection process to find the highest potential Fellows.

Twice a year, you’ll manage our selection process, helping the team whittle 100s of applicants down to a cohort of brilliant, diverse social entrepreneurs through selection workshops, tests and interviews. Your clean, well-presented analytics will give your colleagues the insight they need to make the right selection decisions every time.

You’ll intuitively get the diverse styles and preferences of the organisations we work with – from small community centres and care homes to government departments, national charities and corporates.
 

ABOUT YOU

You’re at your best in project manager mode.

You’re diligent, logical and ordered in your work.

People know you as a highly-organised professional and it irks you when things aren’t in their right place. You’re happy to help others bring similar order and rigour to their work. Your attention to detail is fantastic.

You love numbers and data.

You’re very happy in an Excel spreadsheet – whether it’s to analyse datasets or build budgets. Numbers don’t scare you. You get that good decisions can only be made with good data.

You’re a sensitive and thoughtful relationship-builder.

You love nurturing relationships and building trust. You know how important it is to get back to people promptly and to make life easier for our partners. You always do what you say you’re going to do.

You’re not afraid of working hard in pursuit of a big vision.

You love a challenge, and are up for working hard in pursuit of our vision of a better society. With an entrepreneurial bent, you’re used to achieving a lot with a little. You’re up for joining a fast­moving environment.

You care about society and believe in people’s capacity to drive progress.

You’re passionate about social change and excited by the potential of social entrepreneurship.
