About you
You will bring significant experience coordinating large, restricted-funded international programmes, ideally valued at more than £1 million per year. This may have been gained within international development, child protection, education, health, WASH or another related field.
You will also bring:
- A recognised project-management qualification and strong practical expertise in work planning, risk management and multi-stakeholder coordination
- Experience delivering single- or multi-country projects funded by institutional donors such as USAID, FCDO, the Dutch Government or major foundations
- Strong financial-management skills, including budgeting, forecasting, expenditure monitoring and donor compliance
- Experience of complex institutional-donor grant requirements, or the ability to apply closely related experience
- Experience managing or matrix-managing multidisciplinary and geographically dispersed teams
- Strong knowledge of results frameworks, indicators, monitoring and donor reporting
