Against Malaria Foundation (AMF)

Senior Operations Manager

Full time

Job Description

AMF profile

Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) was founded in 2004 and is a charity that fights malaria in a highly effective, accountable and transparent way.

We do this by purchasing and distributing multiple millions of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) at a time in nationwide universal coverage campaigns. This is the most cost effective way of preventing malaria. AMF receives donations from the public and in the current financial year to date have received over US$125m. AMF is particularly data-focused and monitors and reports on net use and drives and supports innovation to improve the effectiveness of malaria programmes.

AMF is the world’s third largest funder of nets.

AMF has been rated a top charity for all of the last 16 years by independent charity evaluators GiveWell and The Life You Can Save who focus on cost-effectiveness and impact.

We are a team of thirteen highly motivated individuals with different skills and experience. Each person has an important role to play. All team members work remotely with constant communication between them. While the team is small, the impact is big - our net distributions protect millions of people. Our largest programme is in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where we are funding 55 million nets to protect 100 million people for distribution during 2024 to 2026. We have ongoing multi-million net programmes in other countries including Chad, Guinea, Nigeria, Togo, Uganda and Zambia.

Role Description

Our activities and commitments are steadily increasing, and 2025 and 2026 will be particularly busy years of distributions, with over ~100m nets planned for distribution. In light of this, AMF is recruiting a Senior Operations Manager to join the operations team and play an important role in ensuring the success of the net distributions. We are looking for someone who has strong interpersonal and intellectual skills who is able to work collaboratively. The ideal candidate will be comfortable taking on significant responsibility by leading on several of AMF’s programmes.

The role will include involvement in all stages of a distribution campaign (pre-agreement, net procurement, post-agreement, during distribution, and post distribution) across two main areas:

1. Work with National Malaria Control Programmes (NMCPs)
2. Work with AMF’s independent monitoring partners

Further information

The Senior Operations Manager will lead on several of AMF’s programmes. They will work closely with NMCPs, in country partners, AMF independent monitors, the AMF Operations and Technology teams to ensure the success of AMF distributions.

More specifically, they will manage the distributions through the following stages:

1 - Pre agreement

• Establishing the funding gap
• Establishing the net need, malaria burden, insecticide resistance data
• Working with the Ministry of Health to negotiate and put in place an agreement for the programme

2 - Net procurement

• Working with AMF’s procurement lead to order nets in time for the distribution

3 - Post-agreement

4 - During the distribution

• Track information coming from monitoring partners
• Analyse with the Head of Analytics registration and distribution data and take actions if needed
• Account for all AMF nets

5 - Post distribution

• Tender for and select an independent partner for post distribution monitoring, and work closely with this partner to carry out surveys at 9, 18 and 27 months post-distribution
• Share results with in-country partners and encourage appropriate actions to be taken

Through these stages, it will be important to maintain strong relationships with the key partners, notably the National Malaria Control Programmes, distribution partners and cofounding partners to ensure that distributions are carried out according to the agreements signed between the Ministry of Health and AMF.

These relationships will ensure that solutions can be found constructively to issues that arise during implementation of AMF’s programmes. Aside from the areas above, there will be other work related to AMF Group Operations, dependent on the candidate’s skill set.

Characteristics of the successful candidate

Make a Difference with The Makhad Trust!

Position: Project/Operations Manager (Part-time)

Location: UK-based with travel to South Sinai, Egypt

About Us: The Makhad Trust is a UK registered charity dedicated to sustaining the environment and natural heritage of the Bedouin tribes in the Sinai Mountains and Desert in Egypt. Our focus on supporting them is by renewing access to water and supporting traditional lifestyles. The Bedouin are a marginalised community, who are barred from many forms of employment yet receive little or no help from Egyptian authorities. A 15+ year drought dried up wells, then collapse of the tourism industry in 2013 bought unemployment, and huge floods have filled in wells. Access to drinking water is difficult. The Trust gives support through restoration of wells for drinking and growing food, and building small dams, and small projects such as beekeeping training, herb growing and carpentry training. Restored wells provide drinking water and ability to grow crops for eating, promoting health and well being, and for income.

About the Role: This unique UK based dual role combines fundraising and administration in the UK with practical project initiatives in Sinai, Egypt. You will be instrumental in transforming lives by ensuring access to clean water and supporting sustainable livelihoods in a unique way by both supporting Sinai Trust in office operationally and directly in the field. The successful candidate will be travelling to Sinai for 2 weeks 4 times per year and will involve visiting ongoing well restorations, assessing new wells for restoration, cataloguing the costs by the well owner, and paying the well owner for the work done. Some of these will be easier to access, given their proximity to nearby roads compared to others which require a 3 hour walk into the high mountains to reach with steep mountainside journeys with no visible paths so the successful candidate will need to be mountain fit. Through these journeys you will be accompanied by our Sinai manager who is a Bedouin from the local town and will act as a guide and provide local knowledge. 

Key Responsibilities:

Office-Based Impact:

• • Apply for funding and liaise with funders.

• • Write reports, keep records, and track income and expenditure.

• • Update spreadsheets and plan journeys.

• • Engage with stakeholders to communicate the impact of our projects.

Field-Based Impact:

• • Travel to Sinai four times a year for two-week periods.

• • Visit ongoing well restorations and assess new wells for restoration.

• • Catalogue costs and pay well owners for completed work. Log information about restoration at well sites and enter data into spreadsheets.

• • Navigate rugged landscapes, including high mountains and steep paths, to reach remote wells.

• • Visit and support various small projects facilitated by the Trust.

About You:

• Proficient with Numbers/Excel spreadsheets and able to write reports, funding applications, and newsletters.
• Good at planning, risk management, and practical tasks.
• Numerate, self-directed, and comfortable working and traveling alone.
• Understanding of different cultural norms and not risk-averse.
• Mountain fit, experienced in trekking and camping, and sure-footed.
• A team player with good leadership skills, self-reliant, adaptable, and able to replan on the go.
• Trustworthy, honest, tactful, and diplomatic.
• Curious, eager to learn, and knows when to seek advice.
• Able to work in the summer heat of Egypt.
• Equipped with a laptop for record-keeping and preferably an iPad for field reports.

How to Apply: Send your CV with two references (one work reference and one character reference) Via Quick apply. Possible candidates will be called for an interview in the New Year. Confirmation of the selected candidate will be made after participation in a Sinai Journey in the Spring if the application is approved.

We need a Research and Policy Lead with excellent analytical ability and strong writing skills who has a passion for, and understanding of, UK public policy, to join the UK’s specialist think tank on the impact of longevity on society.

The post holder must be able to work at pace, undertaking research, analysing evidence, assessing key trends, and working out what this means for society and who needs to do what.

They must be able to work on multiple complex projects at the same time. Candidates must have experience in conducting quantitative and/or qualitative research, an ability to work both independently and as part of a team, and the drive to lead on future projects.

The ideal candidate will have high level competency in interpreting and communicating complex data and a broad understanding of, and interest in, current economic and social policy.

The context is a challenging one.

For example, in the UK over the past quarter of a century:

• Inequalities in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy have grown.
• While more of us are working longer into our lives, 50–64-year-olds are still less likely to be in employment than people aged 25-49. Opportunities to learn to support longer working lives are limited.
• The public sector has built very few new homes and the private sector hasn’t been able to fill the gap for first- or last-time buyers.

And globally:

• Almost 60 million children of primary school age are not in school,
• Only 20% of older people in low-income countries receive a pension,
• Climate Change and antimicrobial resistance threatens progress made over the past 25 years.

Yet there is a lot going on and plenty of opportunities to help deliver our ambitious plans:

• The UN and WHO are leading the Decade of Healthy Ageing,
• The Westminster Government is seeking to reform the NHS to focus more on preventative health to support healthier long lives.

The Global Leadership Foundation is a network built around its 44 Members, all former heads of government or other distinguished leaders with first-hand experience of the difficulties of political leadership. It is an independent, non-profit Foundation, which exists to support political leadership and good governance around the world by making available, discreetly and in confidence, the experience of those former leaders to today’s national leaders.  

The activities of the Foundation are managed by a small London-based Secretariat.

Day to day administration of the GLF office and office systems
Maintenance of all GLF diaries, including co-ordination of the Chair’s programme
