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.
