Job Description

We want a world where no one dies from hunger. Life-threatening hunger is predictable, preventable and treatable. Join Action Against Hunger and together we will stop it in its tracks.  Action Against Hunger is an optimistic, inspiring place to work. We want passionate and dedicated people to help build a better world. We’re a creative team made up of people with a wide range of talents, styles and expertise. But we are united in our relentless dedication to end world hunger.  No challenge is too big. With you we can do it.  Join us.

Senior Programme Funding Manager (open to remote working – either wholly or partially, with the option to be in the UK or in another location)

In this role you’ll help develop and manage a rapidly growing funding portfolio. You won’t be alone; you’ll support the Head of Programme Funding and manage members of the programme funding team.  You’ll play a key role in helping Action Against Hunger to achieve our vision of a world free from hunger by increasing the funding from institutional donors and making sure we deliver when we get the funding.

You’ll be in the exciting and important position of working with country, regional and global funds, and collaborating with colleagues both inside the international network and beyond. You’ll help raise Action Against Hunger’s profile and engagement with the UK Government and UK sector to inform, influence and collaborate on all areas of our work.

You’ll work closely with our Network HQs and country teams to develop opportunities, increase the number and value of new grants and commercial contracts, and ensure effective delivery. But you’ll also be a key person in engaging with institutional funders too.

So how will you do this? You will work at an operational, tactical, and strategic level – making the most of the links between funders strategies and the Action Against Hunger’s network own strategy and trends we observe. You’ll be proactive, bring a fresh perspective and innovative ideas, and bring a positive, ‘can do’ attitude.  For more detailed information on the role, please download the attached pdf Job description.
