Background

Oxfam Ethiopia’s five years Country Strategy was finalized in 2015 and a Country Operating Model in 2016. A transition process has been completed to amalgamate all existing Oxfam operations in a country under one roof. A new operating model has been introduced for Vision 2020 and is currently being rolled out and embedded in Ethiopia. A key component of this is the establishment of an Executing Affiliate (EA) to operationalize the Oxfam programme in Ethiopia, under the oversight of the Oxfam International Country Director. As the legally registered entity in the country, it employs in-country staff, is the asset holder, primary contract signatory with in-country donors and suppliers, manages finances and provides back-office support and IT systems, and represents the Oxfam Confederation in the country. Complementing the work of the Executing Affiliate are Partner Affiliates that provide funding (restricted and unrestricted), thematic expertise and influencing capacity.

The role

The Senior Grants Manager will provide direct support to the organization leading on the development of the fundraising strategy, identifying new donors, managing existing donor relationships, ensuring that donor compliance requirements are met and facilitating the development of new programme designs and proposals.

As a senior manager within Oxfam, and a member of the Oxfam in Ethiopia Senior Management team, the Grants Manager leads the planning, coordination, securing and management of restricted income to enable Oxfam in Ethiopia to deliver on the national country strategy.

The Grants Manager is accountable to the Oxfam International Country Director for planning, coordination, securing and management of restricted income for the Ethiopia country programme.
