Thailand Karen Human Rights Group (Khrg) Full time

KHRG’s Programme Management Team takes primary responsibility for the organisation’s project-cycle management, financial management and fundraising/donors management, human resources management, IT and security data management. In recent years, strong progress has been made to strengthen these core processes in a way that has made them more effective, sustainable and locally-led. KHRG seeks a Programme Support Officer to maintain and build on this progress.

KHRG operates on a consensus basis and the position-holder will largely work as part of a small team, thus team-working skills and participatory approaches are essential. Applicants should also be highly motivated, able to work with little supervision, and should have experience working with local organisations to make effective interventions to improve the lives of local people. A strong commitment to helping rural people claim their human rights is essential.

Main Responsibilities

Fundraising and Grant Management

Implement KHRG's fundraising strategy and develop the strategy where necessary. This may include securing funding from international and local donor organizations, private and individual major donors and small donations.
Prepare funding proposals in cooperation with other staff and search for new funding opportunities for the organization. Develop new relationships with new donors.
Correspond with the Grant Manager to maintain and build relationships with donors by monitoring responses, proactively communicating successes and needs, and ensuring report deadlines are met.
Correspond with the Grant Manager to liaise with project staff to understand project objectives, plans and budgets. Ensure yearly funding proposals are available and up-to-date for each project.
Attend donor meetings both in Myanmar (if possible) and Thailand as needed. Write donor meeting reports and provide an update to all staff during management meetings regarding donor information and any changes that occur during the donor’s funding period.
Develop the budget proposals in coordination with the Grant Manager and Finance Manager.

Strategic Development

Support the Programme Director for the coordination and facilitation of KHRG’s strategy meeting, with a specific emphasis on realising KHRG’s strategic priorities.
Support the M&E team to ensure that an appropriate and functioning Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system is in place. Gather relevant information through monitoring activities and address any problems that may arise.
Develop the organization’s budget and assist teams and staff with drafting their respective budgets by collaborating with the Finance Team.
Support the Programme Director in producing KHRG’s annual report.

Capacity Building

Build the capacity of the local staff in KHRG's Programme Management Team to enhance their professional skills and implement the programme activities effectively in project cycle management, fundraising and financial management and human resources management.
Assist local staff with tasks that require native-level English language skills, including writing, editing text, and interpreting technical language.

Additional Responsibilities

Assist the IT manager in external communications.
Ad-hoc duties to support other teams.

**Requirements**:
Knowledge and Experience

Significant previous work with a community-based organisation working on grassroots issues.
Two years of experience using and developing project-cycle management systems, including monitoring and evaluation.
Experience writing proposals and donor reports.
Experience managing relationships with institutional donors.
