Donor Reporting Officer
Save the Children is the world's leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children's lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential.
We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.
We have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.9 billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever before, through programmes in health, nutrition, education, protection and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises.
Following a major transition, our international programmes are now delivered through a merged operation with 15,000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively small, central office. We're changing to become more efficient, more aligned, a better partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for world-class people and relevant for the 21st century.
Role Purpose:
The Donor Reporting Officer for the ongoing emergency response will support the Donor Reporting Coordinator in the development of narrative and financial donor reporting, working closely with the Program Managers, Technical Advisors, the Awards Coordinator, Finance team, Operations team and the MEAL team in ensuring reports, both narrative and financial are compliant to donor requirements and tally, are of high quality and are submitted on time.
In addition, the Reporting Officer will support with the production of regular information and communications material including sitreps and other internal and external communications updates and materials as required. The post holder may also be required to support the Advocacy and Communication teams with reporting as required by the Advocacy, Media & Communications Manager.
