Save the Children Project Director - Girl Education Challenge Jobs in Tanzania
Job DetailsSave the Children is recruiting for an experienced Project Director (PD) to lead a flagship girls’ education program in Mozambique.
The four-year $10m program started in April 2017 and works across 3 provinces, rolling out at scale a variety of interventions Save the Children has piloted both in Mozambique and around the world.
Project implementation is accompanied by a strong impact assessment component which aims to demonstrate how these interventions specifically help the most marginalised girls to access education, stay in school and achieve improved learning outcomes. .
The Project Director will be responsible for the planning, financial oversight, monitoring and evaluation (in coordination with the DPDQ and Senior Meal Manager), and coordination with the 3 PPMs for the successful implementation of this project across the three provinces.
Although Save the Children is the principle implementer of the project, some elements of the project will be sub-granted to local partners, and hence the PD need to have strong project sub-granting, partner management and budget monitoring skills, PBR expertise, as well as technical skills in education.
Research and monitoring and evaluation, will be a particular focus of this role, since project implementation and payment by the donor is contingent on reaching output and outcome related milestones.

• Prior experience of delivering results based education programming (preferably in a socio-cultural and political context similar to Mozambique)
• Good knowledge of children's rights and specifically girls related issues in education

• Demonstrated experience of developing and managing relationships with donors (DFiD and others)
• Demonstrated experience in handling budgets in excess of £5m and working with PBR
• Skills in navigating complex donor requirements and ensuring donor compliance – understanding of Value for Money (VfM) and Payment by results (PbR)
