About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
About the Team
The Partnership Development Team is comprised of partnership experts across a portfolio of institutional partners. The team seeks to deliver exceptional global partnerships, optimising both funding and influence. The team works closely with colleagues from across the Global Programmes and Policy, Advocacy & Campaigns Division, other Save the Children members and with Save the Children International (SCI) country and regional teams to deliver on our partnership objectives. The team is at the forefront of driving the institutional partnership agenda and approach for both Save the Children UK (SCUK) and the Save the Children global movement, ensuring Save the Children is the partner of choice.
About the role
As the Account Project Manager, you will contribute to and effectively support our global programme partnerships work, to achieve Save the Children's strategic objectives.
The focus of the role will be to influence a complex network of internal stakeholders to develop strategic movement-wide solutions that respond to systemic operational challenges faced by the UN Accounts.
You will ensure effective knowledge management and capacity building for the UN Agency accounts where SCUK is the lead Account Member – including funded programmes, pipeline and influencing work. You will also contribute to the development of the wider partnership agenda with other multilateral partners that the three UN agencies work with.
In this role, you will:
• Ensure a broad-ranging and inclusive partnership. This includes:
• Contributing to the implementation of SCUK's partnerships strategy to nurture effective partnerships.
• Supporting the organisation to continually build strategic understanding of partner and any evolving trends that may impact the relationship.
• Secure support and buy-in of colleagues from across the organisation to contribute to our engagement with the UN.
• Collaborating with team members to develop and embed our partnership and account management approach, to maximise the benefit of the team's work to the wider organisation and movement.
• Ensure increased quality and consistency in the design, delivery and reporting of all projects/awards across the UN account and SCI. This includes:
• Working closely with the Donor Compliance team to identify risks, mitigating measures and setting adequate monitoring mechanisms to support wider award management processes.
• Developing common standard approaches to quality and compliance across the account. Ensuring partner regulations and expectations are well understood among parties involved.
• Lead the development and implementation of new processes and ways of working for UN Accounts.
• Engaging with wider Save the Children in generating and sharing learning and best practices.
• Ensuring strong knowledge management systems are in place.
About you
To be successful, it is important that you have:
• Experience, interest and knowledge of current thinking and future trends and thorough understanding of international development issues.
• Proven experience of providing creative and innovative approaches in developing new initiatives that contribute towards partnership objectives.
• Experience of implementing change initiatives and in iterative adaptation of processes and ways of working.
• Experience of influencing and delivering results cross organisationally within a large complex global organisation.
• Strong project management skills and ideally an understanding of project design, quality programming and effective delivery.
• Self-driven: ability to take a pro-active approach and work on own initiative; problem-solving skills and creative thinking in fluid or less structured environments.
• Excellent coordination and relationship building skills in forming and maintaining both internal and external relationships.
• Strong analytical skills with ability to present complex information in a clear and succinct manner, ability to analyse trends and report on key financial metrics.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including senior level briefings and presentations, both for internal and external audiences with appropriate attention to detail.
• Ability to deal with competing demands, work well under pressure and maintain fruitful collaboration with a large range of stakeholders.
• It would be advantageous to have experience of working with or for UN agencies and/or multilateral partners on programmes and partnerships with NGOs.
• Ideally experience of developing and implementing structures, processes and systems that track results achieved by an organisation and drive performance.
• Experience of undertaking industry trend and donor specific research, finding relevant, reliable, and up to date information quickly.
Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
Ways of Working:
The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office (up to 2-4 days per month or 6-8 days per quarter). This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building.
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.
Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.
Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
Thank you!
