About the Role

The Blavatnik School of Government is looking for a professional, highly organised and self-starting Project Officer to work in this exciting, fast-paced role at the heart of a new £30m six-year project global research and policy initiative.

The What Works Hub on Global Education (WWH) aims to dramatically increase learning outcomes for children in developing countries by generating new evidence, and working with policymakers and NGOs to deliver the best teaching at scale.

Initially, the post-holder will manage the day-to-day administrative activities of the project, alongside the Project Officer (Finance and Compliance).

At first this will entail setting up clear systems within the Blavatnik School of Government, the University of Oxford and the WWH's circa 40 partners.

The post-holder will play a vital role in supporting the WWH's first partner meeting, and will also lead on organising and minuting a series of governance meetings for high-level partners.

Eventually the post-holder will be one of three full-time Project Officers, covering communications and events, diary management, programme coordination, and helping convene a group of more than 100 education stakeholders from around the world.
