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.
The Director of Programme Development and Quality shares in the overall responsibility for the direction and coordination of the Country Office Programme. As a member of the Senior Management Team (SMT) in Mozambique, the Director of Programme Development and Quality is responsible for overseeing the development of high quality, innovative Programmes that deliver immediate and lasting change for children and monitoring the quality of the implementation of those Programmes in line with the 2016-2018 strategy. The incumbent leads a team of sector specialists that provides high-level technical assistance and capacity building to staff, partners and beneficiaries across all thematic areas in support of on-going activities, advocates for macro-political change for children, manages implementation of nationally focused projects, and communicates internally and externally on effective programming.
