What The Hiring Manager Says

“This opening is a fantastic opportunity to support the delivery of the Humanitarian Innovation Fund activities as part of the new phase of the very successful FCDO-funded Mobile for Humanitarian Innovation (M4H) Programme. As the Innovation Fund is central to the theory of change of the M4H programme and will involve stakeholders across the organisation, we expect the successful candidate to be collaborative by nature as well as have demonstrated grant management experience. They must also have a deep-rooted understanding of delivering local impact whilst mitigating corporate risks.

About The Team

The GSMA Innovation Team is a unit set up in early 2020 to manage all Innovation Fund activities within GSMA. Leveraging on 10 years of M4D experience running Innovation Funds on a multitude of topics, the team is responsible for the end-to-end grant management of GSMA grantees (from setting up the process, grantees’ selection to grant completion) in strong collaboration with the relevant M4D programmes, who provide strategic guidance and expertise on their respective subject matters. The Innovation Fund Team is a centre of excellence that ensures that the best grant projects are managed to the benefits of the grantees, whilst complying with strong GSMA compliance and risk management processes.

• Ensure that a close collaboration model with other teams is being always fostered, ensuring that the relevant information flows between teams and defined roles and responsibilities are adhered to. This applies to:
  • The GSMA Mobile for Humanitarian Innovation programme, whose learnings and results of the Fund are essential to the programme’s theory of change

  • The GSMA compliance team and external Fund Manager
