Elrha is looking for an experienced Innovation Manager to apply their skills in Elrha’s fast-paced and creative Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) and lead on the strategic development and delivery of the HIF’s thematic area on the inclusion of people with disability and older people. This is not a fundraising role; the HIF aims to improve outcomes for people affected by humanitarian crises by identifying, nurturing and sharing more effective and scalable solutions.

Our Innovation Managers are passionate about identifying the most pressing humanitarian problems, analysing opportunities for innovation, working with sector experts to investigate solutions and designing funding calls (innovation challenges) to address them.

This is a varied role which includes providing technical oversight and management of the innovation portfolio to achieve its maximum impact, through fostering effective partnerships and providing support to grantees. This role carries a high level of independence which requires the ability to work autonomously whilst working collaboratively with sector and technical experts in humanitarian inclusion. It includes targeted advocacy, developing and sharing technical expertise on managing humanitarian innovation both internally as well as externally through thought leadership and external representation of Elrha.

We are looking for exceptional candidates with a good mix of skills and experience across three areas: innovation, facilitation and inclusion.

1. Innovation: You will bring significant experience of developing creative innovation journeys and bringing ideas from conception to completion. You will have strong project management expertise to lead innovation processes in collaboration with key stakeholders and sector experts. Candidates will need a firm theoretical and practical grasp of key innovation concepts, tools and approaches. We welcome experience from the private, public or voluntary sectors.
    
2. Facilitation and communication: The role requires the ability to build and maintain strong working relationships with diverse stakeholders and audiences. You will need to demonstrate a track record of organising and facilitating interactive, inclusive and accessible workshops — both in person and remotely - and convening interdisciplinary and diverse groups. Your communication skills will extend to the ability to write and talk about Elrha’s work, presenting compelling stories about our innovations to achieve maximum impact within the sector.
    
3. Inclusion: Our new inclusion specialist will need expertise and experience working on sensitive and complex issues in an ethical and thoughtful way, for example with vulnerable or marginalised groups or protection in inclusion. The successful candidate will demonstrate an ability to listen to, learn from, and promote the voices of people with lived experience of the issues we work with. You will either have, or be in a position to build, a technically credible and respected profile in the humanitarian inclusion space, allowing you to provide excellent technical oversight and effective management across this thematic portfolio of innovation grants.

Please demonstrate clearly in your application how your experience is different from standard programming or delivery experience. For example, how have you drawn on innovation tools and approaches to identify and solve priority problems? Please note that we will assess your communication skills on the quality of your personal statement and CV as well as any presented achievements.
