- Champion and drive quality, inclusion, and impact across the work of Save the Children and the wider sector.
- Lead the development and implementation of technical strategies and products (such as best practice approaches, minimum standards, and publications) to a high standard.

- Deepen and expand relationships with key high-level external stakeholders and build strong working relationships with technical experts, partners and advocacy targets for technical exchange and policy and practice influence.
- Provide and facilitate formal and informal support and capacity strengthening to technical colleagues, including partners, for example through mentoring, coaching, training, or guidance.
- Support the head of team, for example in team planning, and deputise, as required, in senior leadership meetings.
- Drive research, evaluation, and innovation projects in your field of expertise, to expand the knowledge base, promote a learning culture and identify new / enhanced approaches to amplify impact.
- Maintain and develop high-level knowledge and expertise in your specific area.
- Demonstrate a commitment to Save the Children's workplace behaviours and to building an inclusive and equitable workplace. Champion and be an ally to improve diversity and inclusion.
- Champion and embed approaches to shift power and decision-making closer to the children and communities we are working with and for.
- Build strong relationships with colleagues across the Save the Children global movement, including in country offices.
