4 weeks ago

Washington, Washington, D.C., United States Save the Children Full time
Job Summary

The climate emergency is having a profound effect on children's lives today, posing an unprecedented threat to children's rights now and in the future.

Save the Children (SC) is deeply invested in scaling locally led and data/technology enabled Disaster Risk Management practices. To support this, SC has developed a Global Anticipatory Action (AA) Framework that aims to prevent and reduce the impact of predictable crises on children so that they may survive, learn, and be protected.

The Disaster Risk Management/Anticipatory Action Advisor will provide guidance on DRM and AA strategies, policies, and practices, playing a role in supporting SC's development and humanitarian efforts as a member of Save the Children United States (SCUS)'s International Programs (IP)' Department of Hunger and Livelihoods (DHL), and providing support on related issues to the Department of Humanitarian Response (DHR) and Save the Children International (SCI) as needed.

You will also play a role in business development, working closely with SCUS Portfolio Growth and Performance (PGP) and Partnerships and Philanthropy (P&P) team members to identify and pursue opportunities.

You will help ensure global DRM and AA priorities are effectively integrated into SC's programs worldwide. You will work collaboratively across IP, particularly DHR, and with SCI's global AA team, country, and regional offices, to enhance capacity to anticipate and respond to disasters, thereby reducing the impact on vulnerable children and communities.

In addition, this role will play a part in knowledge management and thought leadership on DRM and AA issues.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Proposal Development & Fundraising (50%):
  • In collaboration with PGP and other stakeholders within IP, finalize and implement a plan to finance DRM and AA programming across IP, including donor engagement.
  • Support regular prospect research and analysis of funding opportunities in alignment with strategic priorities for AA fundraising, and update the head of DHL on progress and the opportunity pipeline on a regular basis.
  • Provide technical input for the design of DRM and AA concepts and proposals in line with the internal and/or donor requirements and coordinate with other IP departments to ensure inclusion of DRM and AA on cross-sectoral proposals, including humanitarian awards.
  • Engage with donors to assess interest in financing anticipatory action and explain SC's approach and added value globally and as it relates to the context.
  • In coordination with P&P, new business development (NBD) within PGP, and SCI, ensure DRM and AA program design incorporates SC principles of localization, child-centered approaches, child engagement, and child safeguarding.
Technical Expertise, Planning & Management (25%):
  • Stay up to date on trends and developments in AA, early warning systems, emergency preparedness planning, and disaster risk reduction (DRR).
  • Provide expert and timely advice to country and regional offices in the design, implementation, and monitoring of AA programs.
  • Collaborate with external partners that bring in complementary expertise particularly related to use of technology for early warning systems and/or risk mitigating financing.
  • Stay abreast of IP's DRM and AA-related programming and its impact.
  • Liaise with SCI's AA team and participate in technical working groups, sharing relevant information about DHL programs and disseminating learnings to DHL colleagues.
  • Encourage and ensure SCI's DRM and AA tools and guidance are widely disseminated and efficiently used within IP. Coordinate with relevant SCI staff to facilitate trainings on these tools for SCUS technical and NBD staff.
Thought Leadership, Learning, & Knowledge Sharing (25%):
  • Lead the documentation and exchange of DRM and AA best practices, lessons learned, and case studies to foster a culture of learning and knowledge-sharing within DHL and more broadly across SCUS and the global movement.
  • Support DRM and AA's inclusion in IP and SCUS strategies as appropriate, particularly DHL, DHR and the broader climate team.
  • In collaboration with the Managing Director, Evidence for Impact in IP as well as relevant stakeholders in DHL, DHR, and SCI, define and establish and take an active role in implementing SCUS's contribution to a DRM and AA learning agenda in partnership with professionals across IP and SCI.
  • Take an active role in implementing SCUS's contribution to a climate learning agenda in partnership with professionals across IP and SCI.
  • Raise SC's DRM and AA profile through thought leadership in coordination with IP and Marketing, Communications, and Fundraising (MCF) colleagues.
  • This will include collaborating with MEAL staff on analysis and/or visualization of program data that SC already gathers, presenting it in a useful compelling way for use with audiences such as donors and partners.
  • Represent SC in forums, networks, and conferences to advance DRM and AA methodologies and prepare head of DHL for relevant speaking opportunities and external meetings.
