We do this through partnering with civil society, media and others to produce creative programmes and other outputs which inform and engage audiences on key development issues, and to strengthen the media sector through building professional capacity and infrastructure. We focus on health, governance and rights, and resilience and humanitarian response. As Senior Project Manager for Asia you’ll lead a team of London-based staff who support all our Asia country teams.

You’ll manage four Project Managers, including their professional development and performance management, and will support them to manage their staff. You’ll enable your team to support to delivery of country-based projects, including legal, HR and budget issues, and to ensure that we produce high quality outputs. You'll oversee the London support to the region’s business development, encouraging innovative and ambitious development of new business and ensure timely and high quality proposal submissions.
