ROLE PURPOSE: Save the Children, in partnership with International Rescue Committee (IRC), Action Against Hunger (ACF), Mercy Corps (MC), Concern Worldwide and national partners, leads the South Sudan Cash Consortium, currently anchored by ECHO funding and delivering harmonised multi-purpose cash assistance and market-based interventions across conflict- and climate-affected contexts. The Cash Consortium Director provides executive-level strategic leadership of this multi-agency platform and is mandated to evolve it into a unified, multi-donor cash architecture for South Sudan. Operating at senior leadership level within the country’s humanitarian governance framework, the role carries responsibility for strategic stewardship, performance discipline and institutional integrity across the platform. The Director exercises convening authority across partner organisations, ensuring alignment among Country Directors and senior leadership around coherent strategy, disciplined governance and collective accountability for results. The position engages at senior levels with government counterparts, the Humanitarian Donor Group and UN leadership to safeguard the consortium’s credibility, strategic positioning and influence within national and regional coordination structures. The role ensures that implementation across independent agencies functions as a single, integrated delivery architecture rather than parallel initiatives. It consolidates and expands cash and voucher assistance programming under a harmonised multi-donor framework, strengthens operational and digital coherence, and safeguards fiduciary confidence and institutional reputation. Through structured oversight, portfolio integration and rigorous performance management, the Director ensures measurable impact at scale, clear communication of consolidated results, and sustained value for money. The Director holds delegated authority to convene Country Directors and senior partner representatives to safeguard consortium integrity, portfolio coherence and collective performance.
