Salary: £49,464 per annum (more for an exceptional candidate), plus excellent benefits
Based: London
We are looking for an exceptional candidate to provide leadership in growing our project income, and improving our ability to measure our impact on peace and thus improve the quality of our work.
You have a talent for expressing clearly how Alert contributes to and can measure change in complex environments, and for leading colleagues in applying good design, M&E and fundraising practice in their work.
You are experienced in designing projects and raising funds in the form of both grants and contracts. You have a good grounding in the theory and practice of M&E. Ideally you have worked for NGOs and for-profit consulting companies – and certainly for either one or the other – and you have experience of working in project implementation consortia.
Educated to degree level (in a relevant subject), you will have at least 5 years successful experience of project design and fund raising for development and/or peacebuilding, and some experience of field implementation.
Supervised by the Director of Programmes, managing the Evaluation and Learning Coordinator and a team of project design and assessment specialists, you will oversee the continued growth and improved quality of programme design, leading the implementation of plans to improve our ability to monitor and evaluate our projects, and increase project funding. This is an influential, centrally-located position with the potential to add enormous value to our work.
To apply, please send a completed application form and equal opportunities form jobs@international-alert.org, both of which can be found under ‘How to Apply’ which is part of the Jobs section of Alert’s website.
Please note we do not accept CVs
Closing date: Friday 16th August 2013 at 5pm (UK time)
Interviews will take place Friday 6th September 2013.
While International Alert will endeavour to contact all candidates within a reasonable time, this may not always be possible due to limited resources. Therefore, if you have not heard from us within two weeks of the closing date, you can assume that your application has, on this occasion, been unsuccessful. International Alert is an equal opportunities employer. All applicants will be judged strictly on the basis of merit.
