The Head of ICoN is a new and exciting role which will deliver a business analysis specialism and will play a key role in effective management, leadership and coordination of the Innovatiion and Consumer Needs team within WSUP.This role was created as part of WSUP’s long term change programme to build our capacity to meet our ambitious goals from the 2020 – 2025 Business Plan.
About WSUP
WSUP is a not-for-profit company that helps transform cities to benefit the millions who lack access to water and sanitation. We were created in 2005 as a response to the urban explosion that has left many cities unable to provide basic services, such as access to a toilet or drinking water, to low-income communities. We work alongside local providers, enabling them to develop services, build infrastructure and attract funding so that they can reach low-income communities.
To ensure that services can reach as many people as possible, and will exist over the long-term, we have a strong focus on financial viability. This means working with utilities and businesses to build services which generate revenue whilst reaching the most vulnerable urban residents, and advising regulators and governments on how to create an environment which enables businesses to succeed.
We work in seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, supported by an office in the UK. As the urban specialist in water and sanitation, we are committed to sharing evidence and approaches so that our innovations can enable change around the world. Since inception we have helped over 20 million people access improved water, sanitation and hygiene services.
About the ICoN Team
The 2020-2025 Business Plan describes WSUP as an unusual and exhilarating institution, never short on ambition or a willingness to try the innovative, alternative or stretching. Whilst every team has a role to play in living up to this reputation, ICoN leads the way. This means questioning the way we seek to solve the world’s WASH problems. ICoN looks for innovative opportunities. This might include exploring a new business model, alternative partnerships, different technology or a refined method for analysis. Innovation might be huge leap, or series of incremental adjustments, but will always be underpinned by customer focus and a growth mindset.
Being part of the ICoN team means providing support as a group of different specialisms, being prepared to embrace problems, maximise impact on existing projects, manage ambiguity, seek out your own initiatives, challenge constructively and stay resilient to the inherent challenges of encouraging change.
About the role
This is a new role, part of WSUP’s long term change programme to build our capacity to meet our ambitious goals from the 2020 – 2025 Business Plan. The Head of ICoN will deliver a business analysis specialism and will play a key role in effective management, leadership and coordination of the ICoN team within WSUP.
You will coordinate the ICoN team’s work with the Global Programmes Team and seek integration with country teams to refine solutions and apply innovative approaches. You will manage the ICoN team’s work with the Evaluation Research and Learning team to reflect, share and learn from projects and areas of work which have generated new findings or unlocked improved WASH service provision. You will assist the Partnerships and Communications team to articulate how ICoN can add value to project proposals and help build partnerships with new types of funders.
The Head of ICoN will support WSUP’s work on enterprise development: supporting the private sector in playing its role in bringing innovation and developing services which are both financially viable and affordable for the poorest residents.
Across all areas of expertise, you will be expected to individually and as a team deliver capacity building and knowledge sharing across the organisation.
