This is a high profile role within ActionAid UK's International Development Policy and Practice (IDPP) unit. The role works across both the Business Development (BD) and Programme Quality & Assurance (PQA) teams, to help build a compliant pipeline of grant proposals and commercial tenders, and to ensure AAUK’s grants and contracts are managed effectively. It will also advise the senior management team and other stakeholders on emerging contractual and compliance changes, and work with teams across the organisation to drive preparedness.
