About us
Christian Aid is a development and humanitarian organisation working to improve the lives of the world’s most vulnerable people and eliminate poverty. We work primarily through national and local partner organisations whose close knowledge of the communities they serve leaves them well-positioned to identify and deliver the assistance and protection that the vulnerable people they work with require.
About the role
Christian Aid has won a grant from a major donor for a consortium programme in 4 countries – Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria and South Sudan – to help move forward the World Humanitarian Summit localisation of humanitarian aid agenda by researching and piloting best practice in partnerships and by supporting national NGO networks in national and international leadership of humanitarian response. The programme manager would be responsible for ensuring the effective delivery of this complex programme, including timely and high quality narrative and financial reporting to the donor, maintaining effective relationships with the 6 international NGO consortium members, and managing the country-level project managers and helping them to move forward the work effectively with many national and local NGOs at country level.
About you
You will have strong experience of managing complex programmes with ECHO or a similar donor; of working in multi-stakeholder consortia; and of managing humanitarian programming with national NGO partner organisations. You will be very familiar with the World Humanitarian Summit and Grand Bargain agendas, and have a strong personal commitment to localisation. You will have excellent inter-personal skills; enjoy working in teams; and have excellent project management skills.
This is a great opportunity to be involved in a challenging, innovative and high profile localisation programme at the centre of the Grand Bargain and to make a real difference in turning the Grand Bargain localisation rhetoric into concrete action at country level.
