Who are you?

Oxfam Denmark is strengthening its partnership-centred approach to international development, and we are looking for a Partnership Manager who combines strong relationship skills with solid experience in grant management. We imagine that you have worked with international development and/or humanitarian programmes in an NGO or a similar organisation, and that you have experience within gender aspects of international programmes.

Oxfam is one of the world’s largest development and humanitarian organisations, and our analyses and messages are heard by global leaders and in the Danish debate. Together with Oxfam country offices, regional platforms and partner organisations, we work to fight poverty and inequality – and we believe that strong, equitable partnerships are key to lasting change.

You will join the Business Development and Partnerships team in our International Programme Department as one of several Partnership Managers, each carrying a country/regional portfolio together with a thematic focal point role. Your tasks will include:

• managing a portfolio of country and/or regional partner relationships and representing Oxfam Denmark in relevant Oxfam International forums, e.g. the Country Strategy Forum
• overseeing the full lifecycle of assigned grants and projects and supporting donor relations, ensuring timely and high-quality reporting
• ensuring that influencing strategies are integral to project and partnership design
• acting as focal point for the gender area and bringing your expertise into play across the entire portfolio
