Save the Children is no ordinary not-for-profit.

We're ambitious, creative and outspoken. We stand up for children's rights. We want all children to be educated, healthy and live a life free from violence. We run programs in Australia and overseas and, if there's a disaster - like an earthquake, drought or conflict - we are there on the ground.

Where you come in:

In this full-time, maximum-term position, based anywhere in Australia or the Pacific, you will work on the Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) Program in the Pacific and ensure we deliver high-quality CVA interventions on time and on budget and build our profile in CVA - including positioning our organisation as a sector leader. You will be part of our International Programs team and report to the Regional Cash Program Advisor.

You will make an impact by:

• Collaborating on designing project proposals, workplans and budgets ensuring that compliance and quality issues are adequately addressed
• Liaising closely with Save the Children Country Office staff to ensure budget forecasts are aligned with program plans and that project expenditure aligns with these budget forecasts
• Providing oversight to e-money service providers on contracting, service delivery, and reporting
• Delivering rapid, appropriate, and effective CVA response to humanitarian emergencies
• Conducting monitoring trips to project locations to monitor project quality, project activities, and project expenditure
• Managing and analysing CVA beneficiary data.

Does this sound like you?

You have demonstrable experience in humanitarian or development programming and budget management, preferably including CVA. You can analyse strategic trends and develop appropriate plans and responses. You have experience in operational and programmatic functions (e.g. logistics, operations, budget management).

This role requires:

• Managing and developing annual budgets and forecasts and participate in developing reports
• Proven experience in identification and management of organisational and operational risks
• Developing funding proposals and attracting funding
• Team player with excellent interpersonal and relationship building skills
• Ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines
