Manager - Knowledge Team: Development Sector

• Develop and implement a knowledge management strategy that captures program learning, standardises knowledge assets, and improves reuse across projects.
• Design and maintain searchable knowledge repositories, taxonomies, and metadata standards to ensure consistent discovery and curation of content.
• Lead a small knowledge team: set priorities, assign content ownership, review outputs, and coach team members on KM best practices.
• Partner with program managers, MEL, and communication teams to capture lessons learned, convert evidence into practical guidance, and publish concise knowledge products.
• Establish governance, content lifecycle processes, and quality checks to keep knowledge up-to-date and relevant for field use.
• Define and track KM metrics, run regular analytics and user feedback loops, and iterate to drive higher adoption and impact.

Qualifications & Experience (role-critical)

• Demonstrable experience leading knowledge management or learning functions within the development sector or NGOs.
• Proven track record designing taxonomies, information architecture, and content governance for distributed teams.
• Strong stakeholder management experience with program, M&E, and communications teams to translate evidence into usable guidance.
• Excellent written products—case studies, guidance notes, policy briefs—and experience simplifying technical content for practitioners.

• Hybrid work model with flexible hours and strong emphasis on work-life balance.
• Opportunity to influence high-impact development programs and scale practitioner-facing learning products.
• Collaborative, learning-oriented culture with access to professional development and cross-functional mentorship.

The position offers high visibility across programs and a chance to shape organisation-wide knowledge practices.
