About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
About the Team

These approaches complement existing programmatic work, maximising the impact of current and new resources and increasing funding towards our mission.
Our purpose is clear: to transform, build and champion new growth opportunities and business models, moving at pace and collaborating inside and outside of our organisation to do this.
About the role
The Innovative Finance Manager role is central to advancing innovative finance initiatives that create transformative outcomes for children.
You will lead the design, shaping and execution of a portfolio of innovative finance projects—such as child-lens impact investment and inclusive insurance—across the Save the Children Movement, supported by the Innovation Hive.

The role combines strategic leadership, venture development and execution, with a strong emphasis on mobilising capital, building partnerships, and developing scalable solutions that can influence systems and markets. You will play a key role in originating and structuring new opportunities, supporting their progression from early-stage concept through to implementation and scale, while ensuring alignment with organisational priorities and impact objectives.
Working across geographies, with a focus on Latin America and Africa, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams, internal stakeholders, and external partners to deliver high-impact programmes. With impact on children as your guiding star, you will also monitor emerging trends and opportunities in innovative finance to inform strategic decision-making.
You will also contribute to strengthening organisational capability in innovative finance, supporting knowledge sharing, mentoring colleagues, and embedding best practice across Save the Children UK.
In this role, you will:
- Lead the origination design and structuring of high-impact innovative finance projects that advance child-focused impact, such as blended finance, insurance, carbon finance and impact investment funds.
- Exercise strong judgement and autonomy in prioritising opportunities, shaping initiatives, and influencing decision-making on programme design, resource allocation, and strategic direction.
- Develop compelling proposals, concept notes and investment cases that unlock funding and advance scalable innovative finance solutions. Lead market scanning, research and strategic analysis and originate opportunities in priority areas and across geographies particularly in Latin America and Africa.
- Integrate impact management frameworks into projects you lead, ensuring all initiatives are data-driven, aligned with Save the Children's impact objectives, and deliver measurable outcomes for children.
- Contribute to the development and implementation of tools, resources, frameworks and support mechanisms that enhance the delivery of innovative finance projects.
- Build and manage strategic partnerships with internal teams, country offices, and external stakeholders including investors, foundations and development finance institutions, to grow pipeline and enable delivery
- Represent Save the Children in external forums and contribute to contribute to thought leadership and insights on innovative finance for children, strengthening the organisation's position in innovative finance
About you
To be successful, it is important that you have/are:
- Demonstrated experience in leading the design, execution, and management of innovative finance models such as impact investment, carbon credits and inclusive insurance.
- Ability to understand how these can be applied to advance scalable and sustainable impact for children.
- Ability to understand how to integrate IMM frameworks into projects.
- Demonstrated experience in analysing and interpreting data, and presenting information in a compelling way.
- Demonstrated experience in market research and analysis, communicating the potential impact in a clear and compelling way, and applying learnings to drive strategy and project development.

Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
Location & Ways of Working:
The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but at times you will be required to come to your contracted office (usually between 2–4 days per month, depending on the needs of your role, team, or service). For many roles, this is likely to be the minimum required to deliver impact.
This will be discussed and agreed with your manager / team and we encourage candidates to discuss our ways of working in more detail at interview stage.
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.
Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.
Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
