About the role

Marie Stopes International have a permanent Programme Officer opportunity in our West Africa and Latin America department, based in London. This role will facilitate effective project management, financial and narrative reporting and compliance, as well as contribute to the development of strategies to improve capacity in our country programmes.

The role covers a broad range of growing programmes from the large and well established (Senegal, Mali, Madagascar) to the smaller, lower capacity programmes (Senegal, Niger, Burkino Faso). They are funded by a range of institutional funders.

This post holder will also have the opportunity to play a key role in a regional strategy across the Sahel implementing family planning into food security and livelihoods programming.

As the role has a programme focus, you will be the lead between head office (London) and the country programmes, ensuring they have the support required. You'll have exposure to working with consortiums which MSI lead on and be the connection point between our London office, country programmes and our donors, ensuring a smooth flow of information.

About you

We see you bringing to the role strong reporting experience, ideally with experience of working in an overseas location (preferably a developing country), knowledge of donor regulations, grant management, processing, policies and procedures.

You will be fluent in French, as you will provide support to our French speaking countries in the region.

In return we offer the opportunity to develop your career with an organisation committed to providing the most vulnerable women with quality sexual and reproductive health care, through sustainable income methods.

The successful candidate will be pro-choice and hold a UK work permit. For more information, please see the job framework attached. The deadline for applications is midnight 10th August.

Salary: £33,000 - £38,000 + bonus, pension and benefits.
