Engagement Manager - Financial and Digital Inclusi

About the position:

Our client is looking for an Engagement Manager to manage financial and digital inclusion projects. They will work with multilateral organisations, regulators, policy makers and companies to unlock pathways for inclusive digital transformation, leveraging high quality evidence and ideas. Technology and data can play a powerful role to address development challenges, however they also pose new risks to consumers. This role needs to work across their thematic areas to help policymakers, private sector and development partners chart this path to innovate in a way that contributes to positive systemic change and improved development outcomes for households and communities. Engagement Managers are not expected to be specialists in all their areas of work, but rather to bring their own expertise and networks to complement the team.

Engagement Managers at the company have the dual opportunity to manage teams to deliver existing projects and to develop new areas of work in support of their development vision. As an Engagement Manager you will work closely with diverse thematic specialists across their team, will take ownership of client engagement, project implementation and will inspire, manage and develop teams of junior staff to effectively deliver on key short and long-term goals. As an Engagement Manager you will have the responsibility to inform their impact agenda, build stakeholder relationships and share insights generated in order to inspire and catalyse positive impact. You will also have the ability to shape your own destiny and generate your own opportunities – at the company, proactive, driven people excel and are provided with the flexibility to build their own vision in collaboration with both junior and senior colleagues.

Engagement Managers travel domestically and globally to explore the challenges they address for their partners. As senior team members, they actively contribute to and shape their independent research objectives, operations and strategy – in pursuit of impact
