Reporting to the Head of Programme Strategy and Impact Team (PSIT) you will play a full role in the PSIT Leadership team and directly manage two units to deliver evidence of learning from programmes and communicate Oxfam’s policy to external audiences, and by contributing and to develop Oxfam’s knowledge sharing platforms, including i-library and the Policy and Practice website.
