International Change Manager

Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organisation for children. Our vision is a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. We work to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. Merlin is joining Save the Children. By combining Merlin’s unique network of frontline health workers with our life-saving work in over 120 countries, more children affected by disaster or conflict will be reached.  We are really excited by this opportunity to increase our reach and impact for children and their families.

The bringing together of Merlin and Save the Children capabilities needs experienced hands-on change managers with a successful track record gained ideally in major organisational re-structuring initiatives.

You will have the credibility and powers of persuasion to influence issues and people at all levels with tact and diplomacy. A highly motivated self-starter, you will set yourself ambitious goals and take personal responsibility for achieving them. Collaborative by nature, you will be prepared to travel extensively worldwide, probably spending approximately 30% to 50% of your time abroad.  Experience of working internationally and strong language skills especially in French, though not essential, would be advantageous.
