We’re currently working on being even more efficient through our Single Management Structure (SMS) project, which, over three to five years, aims to streamline and improve how Oxfam affiliates work together around the world and to increase the impact, cost effectiveness and coherence of our programmes.

As part of the SMS Change management team, and aligning closely with Oxfam International you will advise and support managers throughout the change period, giving them the tools and strategies to address people issues and follow best practices in change management. With a strong understanding of the SMS deliverables and ways of working you will also ensure change management capability is developed and retained at country level as part of the implementation process and will create awareness and ‘space’ for individuals and team in managing their response to change. You will work very closely and collaboratively with the Regional SMS Change Manager on SMS process and planned outcomes.
The Person
