Who we are
Acted works with 19 million people across 43 countries at the intersection of humanitarian, development, climate and environmental programming. We draw on deep contextual knowledge and embrace emerging technologies to save lives, alleviate suffering, and protect and restore our planet. Working in collaboration with a growing ecosystem of local, national and international partners, we pursue one shared objective: a 3Zero World – Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon and Zero Poverty.
Who we are looking for
You bring the core competencies required for classical humanitarian and development work, alongside an active climate and environmental conscience, and you can navigate the challenges that arise when human and environmental suffering intersect. You have an entrepreneurial mindset: you see opportunities, connect dots, adapt your approach to different environments, and take measured risks in pursuit of results. You balance principles with pragmatism, and ambition with humility.
Acted’s head office was set up in Paris in 2000 in order to coordinate the organisation’s activities on a global scale. Today, the head office employs 110 people in the HR, Finance, Programmes, Audit, Security, Logistics & Systems and Communications departments. These departments support the 42 Country Directorates. The head office also acts as a focal point for Acted’s management, namely the Chief Executive Officer, the Director of Development and the fifteen members of the Board of Directors.
Under the supervision of the Grant Manager, the Grant Management Officer supports field teams’ proposal development and grant management, in compliance with Acted’s and donors’ procedures throughout the project cycle for a specific country portfolio. As such, the Grant Management Officer reviews and validates all documents (including project proposals, reports, amendments) prepared at field level and shared externally, to ensure they are in line with donor’s and Acted requirements.
The Grant Management Officer also ensures contractual obligations and donor guidelines are known and followed during project implementation. The Grant Management Officer facilitates internal coordination and communication with relevant departments on grant management related issues, and reports any challenges / issues related to grants encountered by field teams during project development or project implementation to the Grant Manager and Programmes Director, as required.
