Marie
Stopes International is a global organisation providing personalised
contraception and safe abortion services to women and girls. Our local
teams of professionals are passionate about the work they do in
communities across 37 countries. The services they provide give a woman
the power to choose when she has children so that she’s free pursue her
plans and dreams for herself and her family.
The primary responsibility of this role is to further MSI’s Goal: The Prevention of Unwanted Births and its mission of ensuring the individual’s right to: children by choice, not chance.
The Role:
This
is no ordinary Programme Manager role. We’re looking for someone that
can provide rigorous day to day management of the programmes (in 14+
countries) funded by the demanding private Foundation donor. This is
about providing quality programme management and hard data to facilitate
proper evidence based decision making at a strategic level.
You’ll
need to have a knack for ensuring that resources and focus are provided
in the right place when needed so we can get the most out of them and
deliver on ambitious commitments. You’ll need to manage not only your
own team but influence the wider programme teams to ensure delivery at a
local level.
In
supporting the Director of Strategic Programmes, you’ll need to spot
issues before they arise and either deal with them yourself or escalate
them as necessary.
This
is a great role for someone with strong technical experience of running
safe abortion, post abortion care and contraception service delivery
programmes to get experience at a wider, global level with a large
donor, preparing you to go back to a country as a Country Director or
even starting your journey up the leadership ladder in a central office.
About you:
Are
you a strong technical programme manager, with developing country
experience? Have you managed large multi-million dollar donor funded
programmes? Do you revel in the numbers, providing hard evidence to
back up either your own decisions or provide the strong basis upon which
to influence wider decision making? Are you willing to take risks to
achieve results – this is a donor that wants to see results, not a
reason why you can’t do something?
If this sounds like you, then we want to hear from you – don’t delay!
In order to be considered for this role you must be pro-choice on abortion.
Location: London
Closing date: 26 September 2016 (midnight GMT). Interviews will take place before this date (for suitable candidates).
Salary: £45,000 - £65,000 depending on ability and experience.
