Social and Behavior Change Manager

2 months ago

Denver, Colorado, United States iDE Full time
#### SUMMARY


Women and children in LMIC often suffer from poor nutrition, which leads to suboptimal health outcomes and diminished wellbeing, including increased risk of mortality.

These risks can be mitigated through the effective provision of proven nutrition services within the context of health and food system strengthening.

The goal of the
'Transforming Lives Through Nutrition' (TLTN) program is to sustainably build the capacity of local health and food systems in partnership with local communities and governments to deliver evidence-based, lifesaving nutrition interventions to accelerate the well-being of women and children in LMICs.

The key objectives of the Transforming Lives Program are:

  • To enhance the enabling environment for the delivery of an integrated nutrition program
  • To strengthen health and food systems towards the delivery of integrated nutrition programming
  • To increase and measure effective coverage of integrated nutrition programming and understand complementarities across disciplines
  • To ensure that intervention models are sustainable and scalable and share lessons

Scope of Position
We are seeking a Social and Behavior Change Manager to support the Technical Coordinator and broader program team.

While in-country project teams spearhead program implementation, a core global team assumes leadership responsibilities - providing strategic guidance, operational oversight, and a spectrum of technical assistance to facilitate quality implementation.


The incumbent will provide technical support around effective social and behavior change strategies across participating countries in collaboration with the rest of the TLTN technical support team and iDE Global Programs.

#### ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES may include:

As part of the TLTN Technical team and iDE Global Nutrition team:

  • Facilitate improvement in health and development outcomes across the program through theory-informed, evidence-based, and locally-led social and behavior change interventions
  • Collaborate with country offices to develop robust project implementation plans and liaise with the rest of the iDE Global Technical Team and the TLTN Management Team in determining their social and behavior change (SBC) capacity strengthening needs, and designing, implementing, and monitoring capacity strengthening activities.
  • Provide quality assurance and program technical support to the projects in each country to facilitate timely implementation and decision making.
  • Promote intraregional and intercountry coordination around SBC work, fostering synergy and collaborations across country project teams.
  • Stay on top of sector best practices and emerging new market opportunities and risks, and proactively share knowledge with key colleagues across the program
  • Identify, document and share key learnings from project implementation
  • Support in the identification, qualification, and cultivation of transformational impact partnerships
