Women Win: Senior Administration & Impact Programme Specialist

Women Win is looking for a Senior Administration & Impact Programme Specialist to carry out monitoring, evaluation and learning and impact measurement responsibilities for Win Win Strategies. Deadline: 20 January 2023.

The work of Win-Win Strategies (WWS) focuses on catalysing solutions and building a movement to systemic change for women’s economic resilience (WER). This includes creating an enabling environment for grassroots women’s rights organisations to access funds to implement holistic WER initiatives. In addition, this area of work concentrates on inspiring and influencing decision-making and exploring innovative approaches to WER.

WWS is looking for a Senior Administration & Impact Programme Specialist who will support the Brand in an administrative capacity and carry out monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) and impact measurement responsibilities across the entire Brand. This is a very exciting opportunity where the successful candidate will be involved in different areas of the work of WWS. This role requires strong internal coordination, effective administrative skills, and high quality project management skills as it spans both the WWS Brand and the Learn team.

This role also requires existing experience in MEL and impact measurement, given the complexity of some of the larger programmes within WWS, namely the Building Bridges for Women’s Economic Empowerment programme funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Senior Programme Specialist reports to the WWS Programme Manager and is a core team member of the WWS team and Learn team.
