Reporting the Economic Empowerment manager, we are seeking a Financial Inclusion Advisor to play a role as an effective technical portfolio leader and technical advisor to WVA supported projects in Field Offices in Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.
This role will involve significant stakeholder engagement. Within World Vision Australia (WVA) Social Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (SEED) team, Financial Inclusion (FI) is one of three key pillars, including Inclusive Market Systems Development (iMSD), and Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE). The three pillars are highly inter-related and often programmed together. It is expected that the role will work closely with the other members of SEED, as well as other members of Field Impact department. In particular, the FI advisor will work closely with the evidence building team on monitoring and evaluation (M&E), the policy team on policy positions and products, as well as the grants acquisition team on new project proposals. This role requires experience working on grant programs funded by institutional donors, with experience working on DFAT funded aid and development programs an advantage. This role will represent WVA technical expertise in various external engagement, sector events and with donors.
This role is a permanent position operating in a full-time capacity and will be based in our office in Burwood East, Melbourne. Remote work in Australia will be considered for the right candidate (preference for Sydney or Canberra).
World Vision Australia takes our Safeguarding responsibilities seriously and we provide an environment that is safe for our child and adult beneficiaries. We have strong recruitment procedures to make sure the safest and most suitable people work with the children in our programs. All successful candidates will undergo a criminal record and Working with Children check prior to employment. We provide our staff and volunteers with ongoing supervision, support and training in their work with child and adult beneficiaries.
For your information, the interviews will start immediately, and the role may be filled before the closing date.
