The Start Network is made up of more than 50 aid agencies across five continents. Together, our aim is to transform humanitarian action through innovation, fast funding, early action, and locally driven humanitarian action. We're tackling what we believe are the biggest systemic problems that the sector faces. Problems including slow and reactive funding, centralised decision-making, and an aversion to change mean that people affected by crises around the world do not receive the best help fast enough, and needless suffering results. Our work focuses on responding to these problems. This includes shifting power closer to where crises happen, providing fast, early and predictable function and sharing learning and innovative ways of working.
You will enable the development of hubs, driving decentralised decision-making, devolving power, and enabling local hub leaders to meet their needs defined and owned by them. You will work with key stakeholder groups, primarily the hubs, to understand their support needs, then facilitate and coordinate that support working with the relevant team expertise, such as operations and communications. Longer-term, the aspiration is for the services to be peer-to-peer between hubs.
The role requires political awareness and sensitivity to different contexts. It requires using your position to support others to connect and influence. You will be great at building relationships with empathy and credibility. Listening and valuing diverse perspectives to build an inclusive team will be key to success.
We are currently exploring different models for employing staff globally driven by our aim to disperse the team, increase diversity, and ensure we are representative of the communities we serve. Therefore, for the post to be based outside of the UK, we are actively seeking to recruit from our countries of operation (DRC, Bangladesh, Guatemala, India, Pakistan, Senegal). For these locations, we are accepting applications from outside our members, using a third-party host. We are also accepting member secondment applications from countries within the same region since members will continue to be the employer during the secondment.
Please reach out to peopleandculture@startnetwork.org with questions or for further information.
