• Proven experience of using consumer insight at the heart of strategy, proposition, and journey development
• Proven commercial acumen and a demonstrable track record of improving marketing effectiveness and efficiency
• Be a natural communicator, both verbal and written, with excellent interpersonal and relationship-building abilities.

What we offer you: 

• A diverse, unique role where no two days are the same, with huge capacity to build and acquire new personal and professional skills and create your own scope to make change within one of the world's leading international charities.  
• An organisation that believes in innovation and a diverse set of brilliant colleagues who are both experts in their fields and keen collaborators.

We are looking for a Programme Manager to join the Start Network within our Humanitarian Department to oversee the successful implementation, performance and strategic direction of the global Start Fund programme.

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

Start Network is a global membership of close to 100 civil society organisations, working across six continents, to tackle what we see as the biggest systemic problems in the global humanitarian system. Start Network is an independent charity that works with Save the Children, as a grant custodian for some Start Network initiatives.

Start Network solutions:

• Locally led action: Shifting power and resources and decentralising decision-making to locally led networks and organisations.
• Early and rapid financing: Building a global financing system that reduces risk, anticipates, and acts ahead of predictable crises.
• Community led innovation: Incentivising innovative, locally led, and contextual solutions and learning from them together with people affected by crises.

Start Network was formerly hosted within Save the Children UK (SCUK), where it was incubated since its establishment in 2010. When Start Network registered as an independent charity in 2019, the Start Programmes comprising Start Funds and Crisis Anticipation and Risk Financing continued to be hosted by SCUK as Grant Custodian to Start Network.

The Start Fund Programme Manager will be responsible for the performance and strategic direction of the global Start Fund, as part of Start Network's family of funds. The global Start Fund provides around £20M of rapid financing in response to underfunded small to medium scale crises, spikes in chronic crises, and in anticipation of impending crises, filling a critical gap in humanitarian financing.

In addition, the role will continue working closely with the Head of Start Funds to ensure the fund contributes toward Start Network strategy.

You will provide support to Start Network's resource mobilisation work to ensure the fund is appropriately resourced as well as providing leadership to the Start Fund Programme Team ensuring successful implementation of the global Start Fund, and management of crisis alerts and associated awards.

In this role, you will:

• Proactively develop relationships built on trust, provide staff with clear guidance and direction; use coaching techniques to support personal ambition and professional development. They will create an inclusive environment where team members feel safe to express ideas and acknowledge mistakes.
