We’re a creative team made up of people with a wide range of talents, styles and expertise. But we are united in our relentless dedication to end world hunger.  No challenge is too big.

The Operations Department at Action Against Hunger UK aims to make sure that evidence – whether we create it or gather it from others – leads to a more effective humanitarian and nutrition sector.

The department has a mission: to put the power of information and knowledge into the hands of those who can use it. To achieve this, the department focuses on three key areas of work: 1) information and knowledge management; 2) innovative research and action and 3) programme design and funding. By delivering technical assistance across these three areas to the Action Against Hunger international network and a series of external partners, we are helping to create and deliver more exciting and more impactful humanitarian interventions.

This is a key role in our Operations department.

You’ll also engage with other teams within Action Against Hunger UK (e.g. finance,) and Action Against Hunger’s International teams (country level, HQs) as relevant.  You’ll have ad hoc, as required, line management responsibilities. Currently this includes managing a Support Co-ordinator (.5FTE) for at least until March 2025.
