We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced MEL Adviser to contribute towards the Program's MRM activities.

The Program Officer - Operations will be responsible for grants administration across the AHP portfolio and overall administration tasks to assist the Support Unit with ongoing operational support to the partnership. The Support Unit administers multiple grants to Australian NGOs for the provision of humanitarian assistance and also manages grants for the Disaster READY program. The role requires a highly competent individual with administration and finance skills who is able to work under direction and independently as required. The role will require drafting of grant agreements and monitoring agreements and reporting requirements including the maintenance of a grants database. The position will be expected to ensure that all grant documentation is up to date and on file, ensure that grants funds are distributed within agreed timeframes, track proposals and reports, and work with the Support Unit specialists to ensure timely technical reviews and inputs to all submitted proposals and reports. In humanitarian situations these timeframes are critical.

The role will also provide key assistance to the Support Unit team including logistics support for events and workshops, keeping minutes of meetings, supporting the analysis of data collected under the Support Unit’s management information system, support the update of reporting templates, and work with the Operations Manager on budget analysis reporting. The role will include support to the broader AHPSU functions with particular emphasis on Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) and Communications.

The AHPSU is small and collaborative team. Based on the candidate’s background and areas of interest, we would look to build capacity and provide opportunities to incorporate duties and tasks into the position related to specific areas of AHPSU operations.

This role would suit someone starting their career in international development with strong initiative and excellent interpersonal skills. The role is a great opportunity to gain an all-round perspective of the humanitarian space in Australia and internationally, develop skills in the international development/humanitarian sector and gain exposure to the work of non-government organisations and DFAT.
