This role exercises independent judgment within broadly defined policies and practices. The selected incumbent will work closely with the director and other C&G, compliance, program, human resources, accounting, and finance team members to: ensure award management support is consistent with IntraHealth policies and procedures; comply with donor and applicable legal, regulatory and compliance requirements; and model industry best practices. The individual liaises with the director and the other senior C&G manager to ensure consistency across all areas of C&G support. Development and delivery of trainings and sponsors regular community of learning sessions with field-based grant and procurement staff is necessary for this role.
