GBLCAREERS

Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children’s lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential.

We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

We have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.9 billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever before, through programmes in health, nutrition, education, protection and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises.

Following a major transition, our international programmes are now delivered through a merged operation with 15,000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively small, central office. We’re changing to become more efficient, more aligned, a better partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for world-class people and relevant for the 21st century.

Role Purpose:

The CT & FSL PM will play a lead role in managing the establishment and set-up of Cash Transfer Programming (CTP) as well as any FSL initiatives. across Save the Children response sectors by focusing on market analysis, cash transfer modalities, targeting and implementation. Specifically: 1) leading on the CTP Feasibility and Risk Assessment; 2) undertaking the CTP Delivery Mechanism Assessment, providing recommendations and contingency planning to support the scale up of cash transfer programming; 3) support the cash advocacy strategy/plan. The post holder will work closely with programme management to ensure that assistance complements and enhances the recovery and strengthening of local markets. The role will also involve coordination with the wider community and with local financial partners on the delivery mechanisms, transfer values and targeting of CTP.
