About us
ODI (odi.org) is an independent, global think tank. We work to inspire people to act on injustice and inequality. Through research, convening and influencing, we generate ideas that matter for people and planet.
The Operations Manager is an exciting new role in the ODI Europe team based in Brussels. The role has four main aspects:
The role will oversee the day-to-day development and management of projects of medium to high complexity. Generally, the projects might have a large number of contractors, a limited number of institutional partners and up to three donors working with either single or multiple currencies. Projects can either be single or multiyear and require the delivery of multiple outputs.
The Operations Manager will be responsible for the project management cycle, coordinating the delivery of outputs to time and to budget, contributing to and taking ownership of the workplan, liaising with both internal and external stakeholders and maintaining up to date information on project finances, delivery, timeline and risks. They will work both independently and with the wider ODI team to ensure the successful delivery of projects against milestones and budgets and in line with ODI’s policies and procedures.
They will use their understanding of ODI’s business model and of other budgeting models, as relevant, to ensure the financial viability of the project within the parameters agreed. They will be required to have a thorough understanding of the impact that different resourcing models have on the project and demonstrate their ability to balance the needs of the project with those of the organisation. They will represent the interests of ODI in contract negotiations with partners/donors and are expected to demonstrate a thorough understanding of ODI’s requirements and ‘red-lines’.
The Operations Manager will also play a significant role in the pursuit of ODI’s objectives by coordinating business development activities (such as concept notes, proposals for grants and competitive tenders), including contributing to drafting proposals and identifying opportunities for funding where appropriate/required, working with the wider ODI Europe team to build key partnerships and/or enhance existing ones with donors, research and operational partners.
The role is also responsible for the smooth running of ODI’s presence in Europe. This entails ensuring that the entity runs in an efficient manner and in compliance with all relevant organisational and legal requirements.
The Operations Manager will contribute to the development and continuous improvement of ODI’s project management methodology, processes and standards and will mentor junior PM function staff to develop their financial, project management and business awareness knowledge.
