    Input to broader PMU strategy development and business plans, as well as into supplier and consultant pricing strategies, reallocation of budget items and profit maximising initiatives, in consultation with the Framework Director.

    Effective line management of Project Managers including setting performance targets, monitoring their achievements and capacity, ensuring appropriate surge support is provided, and dealing with any staff management issues.

    Supporting the M&E function by ensuring sound monitoring and evaluation of all interventions, performance related activities and reporting requirements; including through project trackers, project forecasts, and evaluation of consultants, country offices, and client satisfaction.

    Support continuous improvement initiatives, leveraging best practices and lessons learned to optimize project delivery processes.

    Collaborate with internal stakeholders to create more efficiency in processes, identify opportunities for business growth, and share relevant knowledge, in particular with Finance, Compliance, Business Development and HR.

    Standardisation of all relevant documentation, including, but not limited to operations manuals, agreements, organisational assessments, training schedules, reporting, SLAs, Standard Operating Procedures, trackers, framework budgets and contracting templates.

    Cultivate and build relationships with both key client contacts as well as potential new donors through the development of a business network, positioning the Programme Management Unit and achievements as a Unique Selling Point of Genesis in our market approach, actively growing the opportunities as they arise.
