Save the Children Strategy Portfolio Lead Jobs in Kenya
Role Purpose:
Save the Children is the world’s first, and largest, independent child rights organisation. Our founder, Eglantyne Jebb, wrote the first draft for the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1923, and we’ve worked to uphold it ever since. Generations later, her pioneering work is being influenced by children themselves.
Today, we are still going strong, working in over 100 countries worldwide to build a world where every child can grow up healthy, educated and safe, and look forward to a future full of promise.
Our ambition for 2030 is to create a world in which all children:
In recent last years, challenges to children’s rights have intensified. We are experiencing the worst child rights crisis in a century. A global hunger crisis, an increasing number of conflicts, and the effects of climate change are undermining the rights of children and pushing more children and family into poverty. In this context, our ability to deliver impact at scale is as important as ever.
Save the Children operates in multi-year strategy cycles, and has developed an ambitious strategy for 2022-24, focused on transforming and amplifying impact for and with children. The global strategy connects Save the Children’s 2030 ambition with medium term organisational priorities focused on impact for children. Achieving our strategy requires making choices, staying focused, and ensuring strong collaboration across the whole of Save the Children Association.
The Strategy Portfolio Manager is responsible for using rigorous program management methodology to help drive progress across all our strategic initiatives. This will involve taking a lead on managing interdependencies, actively engaging individual projects to understand priorities and progress, and stepping in to address issues as needed which could involve hands on interventions and
support.
This role, as part of the central Strategy, Planning and Performance team, is integral to leading and supporting the organisation in delivering on our ambitious strategy at a critical point in time for children. The role should bring in learning and innovation from across the sector as well as the private sector, to enhance the way Save the Children drives its own strategy.
