About the Education Partnerships Group (EPG):
Incubated within UK education charity, Ark, the Education Partnerships Group (EPG) is an international not-for-profit consultancy that partners with governments to shape and strengthen their education systems. Our vision is that governments in low and middle-income countries are equipped to ensure that every child goes to school and learns. We believe that supporting government to design and implement contextually relevant and evidence-based public policy is the best way to drive sustainable progress towards achieving quality education for all.
We assist governments across three critical stages of the policy process:
- Generating and using research to inform policy
- Supporting the design and development of policy
- Supporting the piloting and scaling of policy reform initiatives
Today, EPG works in five countries in Sub-Saharan Africa: South Africa, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Cote d’Ivoire, and Zambia.
In our work, we prioritise a genuine understanding of context rather than assuming ideas can simply be transplanted from one country to another. We also focus on the system – the roles, responsibilities, and relationships of all the different actors – rather than working on one policy area in isolation.
COVID has demonstrated more than ever the importance of effective education systems capable of coordinating and targeting limited resources through evidence-based approaches for impactful education service delivery. With growing demand for our services, EPG is currently focused on seizing those opportunities to expand our footprint in current programme countries and new geographies.
About the role:
The Programme Manager is a critical role at EPG, driving the planning, execution and monitoring of our projects in partnership with governments across sub-Saharan Africa. Programme Managers drive the establishment of new projects, in some cases in new geographies for EPG, lead strategic engagement with Ministry officials and other stakeholders and play an important role in the design and delivery of technical assistance to Ministries of Education. These roles may be based within the relevant Ministry of Education or in an office with EPG’s other programme staff. In some instances, these roles may be home-based, depending on location. The role may require significant remote working and thus personal initiative and time management will be critical.
The right candidate will be passionate about the role education plays in transforming lives and see this role as an opportunity to support the expansion of EPG’s system-wide approach to supporting governments to plan for and implement reform to improve learning outcomes globally. They will find EPG an exciting and entrepreneurial environment and see this role as an opportunity to have a positive impact on improving children’s learning in low- and middle-income countries.
Indicative responsibilities:
- Cultivate and maintain trusted relationships with Ministry officials, maintaining regular contact and check-ins through in-person visits, meetings, workshops, and electronic communication;
- Cultivate and maintain trusted relationships with key stakeholders and development partners, including but not limited to major bilateral and multilateral donors, UN agencies, donor implementing partners and consultancies, national NGOs, advocacy groups;
- Work directly with senior officials in ministries of education and/or related agencies to design and deliver policy-related technical assistance aimed at shaping and strengthening the education system;
- Where required, support the establishment and/or refinement of policy development, delivery and/or monitoring systems within ministries of education, including the creation of coordination structures, decision-making and project monitoring systems and problem-solving interventions;
- Where required, contribute to the design, delivery or commissioning of a range of policy-related work including the revision of existing policies, drafting of new policies, policy guidelines and standard operating procedures, including effective stakeholder management;
- Where required, oversee qualitative research projects and coordinate commissioned quantitative research, support associated analysis, development of policy recommendations and devise strategies to support government partners to ensure such evidence is used to inform policy change and education service delivery;
- Where required, oversee the design and delivery of policy pilots, collaborating with ministry officials and other partners such as evaluation partners who may be commissioned by EPG or by other development partners;
- Work in close partnership with the wider EPG global team to ensure efficient and high-quality delivery of all technical assistance projects and the exchange of insights and learning across projects;
- Participate in regular project and programme team meetings;
- Regularly review and update the project workplans and monitoring frameworks, to ensure projects stay on track and on budget;
- Support the financial management of project delivery and contribute to funder reporting;
- Collaborate with colleagues to nurture new funding partnerships and deepen existing partnerships interested in EPG’s work;
- Participate in the development of EPG through regular team meetings, knowledge exchange, strategic internal projects and professional development;
- Where required, manage a small team up of up to three Associates.
Candidate requirements:
- A Bachelor’s Degree in Social Sciences (Law, Public Administration, Economics, Education or related field)
- 5+ years of professional experience
- A commitment to improving education quality for all children
- Considerable professional experience in the public policy process in low- and middle-income countries, including policy analysis, review, design and implementation
- A track record of building relationships with leaders in government and non-government institutions
- Attention to detail and considerable professional experience in the design and delivery of policy-related projects
- Strong written communications and presentation skills in English
- Experience with the professional use of the Microsoft Office Suite (i.e. Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook)
- Experience in analysing and interpreting data, including familiarity with research and evaluation methodologies
- Experience with project management tools and approaches
- Strong interpersonal skills with a sense of humility and willingness to work with diverse team members, often remotely
- Commitment to EPG’s core values
- Responsive | we start from a place of “yes”
- Accountable | we accept ownership and healthy conflict
- Rigorous | we create and meet high expectations
- Inclusive | we seek diversity of perspectives and experiences
- Respectful | we are quick to listen and empathize

Your purpose
Voice 21 has grown rapidly, from 10 members of staff in 2019 to 60 now (and still growing). This has created a need for someone to lead Voice 21’s People and Culture function and ensure Voice 21 is a place which attracts, retains and develops diverse talent and continues to be a great place to work. To date, much of this work has been undertaken by our Senior Leadership Team (SLT), so this is a great opportunity for a strategic and proactive People and Culture leader to come in and formalise our culture while driving it forwards. We are grappling with a number of big people-related questions which the role holder would be expected to tackle:
● What does a high-performance, high-engagement culture look like in a primarily remote organisation? What is the link between a great culture and Voice 21 achieving its mission?
● What are the key drivers of diverse talent attraction, retention and development as we scale? How can we ensure that there is organisational visibility and drive continuous improvement?
● What information, training and support does everyone need to do their best work How should we provide this?
We are looking for a leader who knows what good looks like in relation to People & Culture, can think strategically in relation to how to apply this at Voice 21, and who is obsessed with how great organisations develop and maintain their cultures. You will have the experience and personality to inspire and influence others and drive organisation-wide culture change, working with the SLT. We are not necessarily looking for someone with extensive HR experience (although that would be a bonus). We are more interested in someone who has experience of leading and collaborating with people in growing organisations to effect change and bring the best out of people.
Your responsibilities
Strategy and leadership
● Work with the Director of Operations, the CEO, our SLT and Trustees to implement and refine Voice 21’s strategy and approach to attracting, supporting and developing diverse talent and building and embedding a purposeful, values-led culture.
● Develop Voice 21's approach to people and organisational development to support the aims and ambitions of our 5 year strategy.
● Represent V21 to senior stakeholders such as the V21 Board and at external events.
● Work with the SLT to plan talent development and growth for the future ensuring that our organisational design supports Voice 21’s strategy and that we have the right people in the right roles at the right time.
People Leadership
● Lead on embedding our culture and values across Voice 21 and ensuring that employee experience is consistent with these and identifying key levers across the organisation for us to increase engagement.
● Build and develop processes, approaches and policies across the employee experience to ensure that they reflect our values and are also scalable. This could be ensuring that the way we recruit and interview candidates is designed to identify the best and most diverse set of candidates, or that line managers have the training, resources and support to do their jobs and enable their teams. We want everything to be intentionally designed and linked back to our values and mission.
● Provide support, coaching, training and advice to managers and employees on all people issues and develop and implement creative and meaningful L&D initiatives for all employees.
● Act as the organisational lead for our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) journey to ensure that our commitment to diversity is at the heart of what we do.
● Develop our people analytics function to measure and improve the impact of our initiatives and provide the SLT with increased visibility over key measures of people and culture performance.
Team leadership and development
● Set and own your team’s goals, budgets and risks. Consistently influence the goals of other teams across Voice 21 and collaborate to enable their achievement.
● Direct line management responsibility for People Officer and dotted line management of Operations Coordinator. Integrate the team within Voice 21, fostering cross-departmental understanding, influence and collaboration.
