More than half the world lives in poverty. We aim to put a stop to that. So we campaign against the inequalities that keep people poor and we work with local organisations to give people strength to find their own solutions to the problems they face, irrespective of their religion. If you’re as determined as we are to end poverty and injustice across the world, work with us to make change happen.

We are looking for dynamic, highly skilled and experienced managers to play a key role in our Large and Complex Programmes Division. You will provide senior management surge support for large externally funded programmes and commercial tenders. The post holder will be available to travel when needed to provide immediate in-country surge capacity to help country teams successfully bid for, set up, build a team and manage large or complex programmes within the first 1-6 months. When not travelling you will also provide management support for more centrally managed global programmes or additional support to ongoing large programmes, if/when required and support the mainstreaming of cross-cutting issues such as gender and equality, programme performance and value for money.

You will have a proven track record of winning contracts, setting-up and managing large budget (multi-million pound) or complex development programmes in a number of different geographies and of managing people effectively to achieve impact.

Based out of London (for candidates eligible to work in the EU) or one of our overseas offices (for suitable overseas candidates) you will be able to travel, often at short notice, sometimes to hostile environments and sometimes for extended periods (3-4months) in order to provide the required surge support to country programmes and partner organisations who are part of the project. You will have technical competencies in a relevant development field, such as sustainable development, livelihoods, environment, humanitarian, agriculture and be able to represent the organization and programme in key international networks and fora. You will be able to demonstrate the ability to mentor and accompany people and organisations to build capacity in managing large/complex programmes. You will have good analytical, written and communication skills and be able to work effectively with different actors – from donors, government, local organisations and communities. Your ability to work in French or Spanish, in addition to excellent English, will be an advantage in this role.

Please show your suitability for this post by giving answers to the following questions: Using the guidance notes may help you formulate your answers.

Deliver Results: Tell us about a time when you were able to set up a large overseas programme, to deliver outcomes on time and within budget

Build Partnerships: Tell us about a time when you had to build relationships in a complex situation, across a range of different people – donors, governments, community representatives - to achieve your own organisation’s programme goals

Strive for improvement: Please tell us about a time when you have helped a team of people design a large or complex programme and developed a successful proposal which incorporate past lessons and new approaches. Which ways of working were being challenged?

We value the contribution each person makes to the success of our organisation. That’s why you can expect a wide range of rewards and benefits, including a generous holiday allowance and flexibility that will ensure you enjoy a good work/life balance. As this post can be based in one of a number of countries, applicants will require current and valid permission to work in the respective location. Please state clearly on your application in which location(s) you are eligible to work.
