About Us
We are Save the Children.

Together, we fight for children every single day so that they can make their mark on the world and build a better future.

We stand side by side with children in the toughest places to be a child.

We do whatever it takes to make sure they survive, get protection when they are in danger, and have the chance to learn.


About our Programme Partnerships Team:


We work across Save the Children International and the movement to build partnerships and support the design and delivery of programmes that enable children to reach their full potential.

The team works to access the funding needed to deliver our programmes around the world, streamlining our relationships with both institutional donors and trusts.

Through our regional portfolio structure, we support and manage SCUK's funding and interests in country programmes.


The Equitable Partnerships Project Lead will participate closely with the Shifting the Power Hub

'Shifting the Power'
is a bold movement-wide strategic enabling programme that seeks to shift power to children, communities, and local & national actors so they gain more agency and power to determine their own futures - both abroad and in the UK.

The focus of the work in SCUK encompasses the following:


  • Building equitable partnerships with local & national actors
  • Increasing children's voice participation and accountability
  • Opening decisionmaking spaces to those most impacted by our work
  • Words & Images: decolonising our approach to storytelling, images, and communications.


The Shifting the Power hub works across all SCUK's divisions to catalyse the strategic shift of power to children, communities, and local and national actors.

The hub is sponsored by senior leaders in each of the outward-facing divisions, and its role is to convene resources to address problems, capture and share emerging best practice, and maintain a theory of change and roadmap for the organisation to follow.

This team will provide alignment and support to the this role during the secondment/contract.


This role will support the development of SCUK's approach to equitable partnerships - a key element of the enabling programme.


Job Purpose


This is a new role that will provide strategic and technical leadership to the Equitable Partnerships project, inspiring and guiding the project team to develop new processes and approaches, and work with key stakeholders within SCUK and SCI to pilot and test new processes and value propositions.


The project is sponsored by the Director of Programme Partnerships and aims to establish commercially sustainable models for growing equitable partnerships with local and national actors through revised value propositions and management processes for donors, philanthropists, corporate partners and programming governments.


This role also seeks to bring leading practice expertise, experience, and insight gained from working directly with local & national actors, programming governments and/or country offices to ensure implemented models are quickly adopted and commercially sustainable.

In particular, the role will bring senior commercial and technical insight to the revision to the way our funding models are operated and contractually governed that enables power to be effectively shifted to local and national actors.


You will work with departmental leaders to assess current funding model flows and contract governance from donor to programme delivery and lead the design and piloting of changes that will significantly increase the proportion of contracts that can be delivered through equitable partnerships.


Working as a champion for this change with the Shifting the Power hub, you will provide a constructive challenge to SCUK in terms of speed and rationale for change, help convene attention on the most significant practical issues, and inspire internal stakeholders to work together to develop and pilot implementable solutions.
