WaterAid’s vision is of a world where everyone has access to safe water and sanitation. Our mission is to transform lives by improving access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in the world’s poorest communities.
WaterAid works through supporting local organisations and government authorities to design and demonstrate appropriate and sustainable WASH programs. WaterAid also seeks to influence policy change through government and other key sector actors to secure and protect the right of poor people to safe, affordable water and sanitation services.
Everything we do is shaped by our six values:
WaterAid Australia works within a federated international NGO structure, and is the WaterAid international member responsible for managing country programs in South East Asia and the Pacific. WaterAid Australia has country programs in Cambodia, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste.
WaterAid is a child safe organisation. We recognise that we must meet community expectations and the trust placed in our personnel to maintain the highest standards of conduct with children. Therefore, all positions within WaterAid are required to comply with our Child Safeguarding Policy and Code of Conduct.
WaterAid is committed to protection from sexual exploitation and abuse in everything we do. The values and standards we uphold are highlighted in our Global Code of Conduct. All positions within WaterAid are required to comply with our Global Code of Conduct.
WaterAid passionately believes everyone in the organisation has a role to play in innovation. WaterAid encourages curiosity about the world and empowering everyone to take action. WaterAid recognises that both big and small changes can have positive impacts on our roles, our team and our mission.
The Project Manager – Systems Improvement is part of the Program Operations sub unit of the Policy and Programs team. The purpose of the role is to lead the design and implementation of a new grant- and program management system for WaterAid Australia and Country Programs in the region.
The aim of the new system is to automate, improve practices, and drive efficiencies across grant and program management. The position will be required to lead process improvement and engagement with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to ensure solutions meet business requirements. Over the 12 months, the role will oversee the system scoping and discovery; design; and testing phases to ensure it is delivered within timeframes and scope. The role will also make recommendations to inform change management and implementation phases beyond the contract period, and deliver successful handover to returning Project Manager.
To be successful, the position will be required to build strong relationships with key stakeholders and management across all three Country Programs, as well as coordinate across the WA Federation and WaterAid Australia, particularly with the Program Operations team, the finance team and Technical Leads. The successful candidate has experience from Product Management and from managing system improvement projects, preferably related to grants.
Given the role will have some engagement with the WaterAid Federation, the successful candidate will be expected to conduct some work across time zones, including GMT and AEST.
