Company Details
Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management
Description: Practical Action is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) that uses technology to challenge poverty in developing countries.

Through technology we enable poor communities to build on their skills and knowledge to produce sustainable and practical solutions - transforming their lives forever and protecting the world around them.
Job Description

Moving into our 2026-30 strategy phase, we are proactively shifting from creating and setting up advisory services and tools that support last mile distributors to embedding and scaling these initiatives. Specifically, we will focus on four key strategic levers:

  • Unlocking finance: Prepare more last mile distributors (LMDs) for investment and help to unlock country-level financing mechanisms and create LMD-focussed debt facilities.
  • Strengthening business performance: Deliver training, shared services, and data tools that reduce business costs and improve efficiency, in scalable formats.
  • Scaling innovation: Identify, test, and replicate high-value business innovations and remove eco-system barriers.
  • Shaping systems and local leadership: Build local chapters and influence global and national agendas so LMDs are visible, valued and represented. 

About you

  • We are looking for a go-getting, ambitious and proactive leader who is ready to take the GDC to the next level.  
  • To succeed in this role, you must be an exceptional strategic thinker, as well as having robust project management, interpersonal and communication skills, and be willing to “muck in” in our relatively small team. You will have the ability to multitask, work independently and adapt in a fast-paced environment.
  • As well as being a confident external influencer, convenor, collaborator, and champion of all things last mile distribution, you will need to be a thoughtful leader with the ability and inclination to support and coach team members to achieve their full potential.
