• Financial and resource management. Coordinate programme-related budgeting, billing, claims, procurement, resourcing, and financial tracking in collaboration with finance and relevant internal teams.
• Performance tracking and continuous improvement. Track programme performance indicators, learner progress, stakeholder feedback, operational issues, and delivery outcomes. Recommend improvements to strengthen programme quality, compliance, learner experience, and future runs.

Requirements

• Tertiary qualification with at least 4–6 years of relevant experience in programme management, project management, education management, grant-funded programme delivery, or a related field.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional project delivery across multiple internal and external teams, aligning stakeholders, managing dependencies and risks, resolving issues, and driving progress towards agreed outcomes.
• Strong ownership, judgement, and problem-solving ability, with the confidence to identify risks, make recommendations, and escalation issues appropriately.
• Experience preparing progress updates, management reports, project dashboards, or grantor reports.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Highly organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to maintain accurate records, track commitments, and manage multiple deadlines concurrently.
