Employer: Girl Effect
Job Title:Senior Manager, Scale Partnerships
Reporting Lines:Reports to Director, Scale Partnerships
Location:London
Contract:Full-time
Girl Effect is an organisation working to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty. We do this by investing in programmes for girls, connecting girls to each other to amplify their voices, and brokering access to the critical assets girls need. We drive behaviour change by harnessing media in innovative ways and building social networks to shift girls’ perceptions of themselves and how others value them.
When a girl is better educated, has access to sexual and reproductive healthcare information and services, has access and control of economic assets, is safe from violence and exploitation, and has the capabilities and confidence to make positive choices, she can break the cycle of poverty. That’s why we’re working to reach 250 million girls living in poverty with the tools and assets they need to achieve their full potential by 2030. We currently operate in Rwanda, Nigeria and Ethiopia with headquarters in London.
A new team has been established to oversee the major partnerships that will enable Girl Effect to realise our organisational potential and move to scale. This new Senior Manager role will report to the Director, Scale Partnerships and play a key part in managing the exciting initiatives already underway, as well as supporting the development of a comprehensive strategy that will spearhead the establishment of a number of new partnership opportunities.
Situated in the Relationships Team, Scale Partnerships will work with the system players best placed to transform the world for girls through large-scale grants, co-investment and advocacy – including major donors, foundations, governments and the private sector. One of your immediate responsibilities will be to manage the PEPFAR partnership, working with a cross-functional team on the design of an innovative social communications initiative and then quickly moving to fast-paced implementation.
Girl Effect is looking for an experienced manager with a strong track record of delivering results within partnership programmes. The suitable candidate will already have extensive experience leading large-scale and complex partner-driven projects within the social or development sector.
