COSACA Grants and Finance Manager
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 Consortium Grants and Finance Manager will support consortium members in ensuring efficient and effective management of program funds, e.g. grants and contracts and other funding agreements, financial monitoring and reporting, etc. to meet donor requirements.

This role will provide the primary financial and grants management inputs into the COSACA programme, and will ensure effective coordination of financial and grants management procedures and processes across consortium agencies.
