What You Will Bring<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We are looking for an outstanding organisational and people leader who combines strategic breadth with deep professional credibility.<\/p>\n

You will bring:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Significant senior leadership experience in a complex, international organisation.<\/li>\n
  2. A strong commitment to WaterAid\u2019s mission and values and the ability to connect people strategy directly to organisational purpose and impact.<\/li>\n
  3. A record of contributing to organisation-wide strategy and leadership, rather than operating solely as a functional specialist.<\/li>\n
  4. Exceptional people leadership skills, with experience of building strong teams, strengthening leadership capability and creating accountable, inclusive cultures.<\/li>\n
  5. Substantial expertise across organisational development, change and the major disciplines of people management.<\/li>\n
  6. The ability to hold two mandates successfully, delivering excellent leadership for WaterAid UK while advancing a shared agenda across an international federation.<\/li>\n
  7. The credibility and judgement to advise, support and challenge chief executives, boards and senior leaders.<\/li>\n
  8. Strong cultural intelligence and experience of influencing across countries, cultures and autonomous organisations.<\/li>\n
  9. The ability to build commitment and secure investment through trust, evidence and demonstrated value, rather than positional authority.<\/li>\n
  10. The courage to make difficult decisions, alongside humility, curiosity and a commitment to learning.<\/li>\n
  11. A strong understanding of equity, inclusion, safeguarding and responsible organisational practice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Experience of the international development or non-profit sector, living or working in a country where WaterAid operates, or working in more than one language would be valuable but is not essential.<\/p>\n

    How You Will Lead<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    You will:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Put WaterAid\u2019s mission and collective success at the heart of all decisions and priorities.<\/li>\n
    2. See the bigger picture while maintaining high standards of delivery.<\/li>\n
    3. Combine humanity and inclusion with clarity and accountability.<\/li>\n
    4. Build capability and confidence in others rather than creating dependency.<\/li>\n
    5. Work collaboratively while being prepared to challenge and decide.<\/li>\n
    6. Model WaterAid\u2019s values of respect, accountability, courage, collaboration, integrity and innovation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
