At ActionAid we've undergone significant planned change to ensure we are better positioned to deliver lasting solutions to the problems of global poverty. A new structure and fresh thinking has re-energised the organisation. We've now created fantastic career opportunities for experienced sector professionals who want to be part of an organisation that is delivering a bold strategy to provide sustained improvements to the poorest and most excluded people in the world. Join our action to end poverty now and be part of something truly amazing.
As Programme Funding Manager you will work at a strategic and operational level to generate and ultimately increase income for work undertaken by ActionAid country programmes through the effective management of relationships with institutional and official donors, including the Big Lottery Fund and DFID. We will look to you to build and strengthen donor relationships and provide technical support to key UK and country programme staff. You will keep abreast of donor priorities and objectives, sharing intelligence internally to ensure we capitalise on any synergies. In addition you will develop the capacity of ActionAid staff to secure and manage donor contracts efficiently. You will also share learning across the organisation to ensure we continue to operate effectively and meet our funding targets.
You will have extensive experience of programme funding with institutional donors for international development NGOs and of working with a wide range of programme funding donors. Skilled at developing and implementing programme funding strategies you will be adept at preparing quality project proposals as well as narrative and financial reports. An effective communicator with strong capacity building skills you will be comfortable managing multiple projects and prioritising needs. An understanding of development issues and experience of living and working overseas (ideally in a developing country) is a must.
