The Organisation

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.

We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And its girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for more than 75 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.

Equal Measures 2030 (EM2030) is a unique cross-sector partnership of leading organizations from civil society and the development and private sectors. We work to ensure that girls' and women's movements, advocates and decision makers have the data they need, and in a format they can use, to guide and drive faster progress towards the gender equality commitments in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The partnership is a joint effort of organizations from civil society and the development and private sectors, including: Asia-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (Arrow), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, CLADEM, Data2X, the African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), the International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC), KPMG International, ONE Campaign, Plan International and Women Deliver.

The Opportunity

Equal Measures 2030 seeks the support of a part-time Administrative Assistant (2 days per week) to support the internal coordination and administrative operations of the EM2030 Secretariat.

This role will be integral to helping us achieve our objectives through financial and administrative support, including travel, event and knowledge management coordination. You will work closely with the EM2030 Secretariat team as well as regional and country-based colleagues.

You will support the Head of Engagement and Operations with the work-planning and project management of the Secretariat, ensuring actions are clearly communicated and met by team members. You will also maintain the knowledge management systems and joint calendar for the team to ensure good cross-team sharing and planning

The Individual

We are seeking to appoint an organised and resilient individual. You will have strong administrative skills with experience of using finance systems and invoices such as SAP. This will come alongside the ability to use basic Office applications such as MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.

You will have good people skills to liaise with colleagues across the organisation on behalf of the Secretariat as needed, including Facilities, Finance and HR, working in a collaborative and supportive way with a global team.

Fluency in English is essential and language skills in Spanish and/or French is desirable.
