2 weeks ago


Farringdon, United Kingdom Save the Children Full time

Save the Children UK has an exciting opportunity for a collaborative and influential individual with strong finance and budget management experience and experience of managing humanitarian programmes and operations to join us as our Crisis Financing Operations Lead where you will provide operational leadership across the Start Funds and Anticipation and Risk Financing teams.

**About Us**

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

Save the Children has an ambitious strategy to ensure that, by 2030, all children survive, lean and are protected from all forms of violence. The humanitarian department supports both the strengthening of our organisation's humanitarian capability as well as acknowledging the need to also support change within the humanitarian system in order to address the increasing frequency and severity of emergencies world-wide. The department is committed to build a stringer workplace culture, prioritising the wellbeing and resilience of those within it.

Start Network is made up of more than 50 aid agencies across five continents, ranging from large international to national NGOs. Together, our aim is to transform humanitarian action through innovation, fast funding, early action, and localisation.

We're tackling what we believe are the biggest systemic problems that the sector faces. Problems including slow and reactive funding, centralised decision-making, and an aversion to change mean that people affected by crises around the world do not receive the best help fast enough, and needless suffering results. Our work focuses on three areas to change the system; localisation, new forms of financing and collective innovation.
