PMM Prime Regional Coordinator

LOCATION: Flexible – can be based in any SCI office within the Middle East and Eastern Europe Region

The Opportunity

PMM is SCI standard Project Management Methodology; PRIME (Project Reporting, Information, Monitoring and Evaluation) is the new project management system that will be deployed in all SCI COs in 2022/2024.

PMM and PRIME are deployed as part of the CAPP (Coding, Agresso, PRIME & PMM) Program which will improve project management and project information management for programme delivery across Save the Children and simplify, standardise and improve the quality of SCI financial data.

PMM was deployed in 2020-2021 and COs continue to implement the new procedures and tools via the quarterly submission of action plans. Regular training courses and a PMM Community of Practice is established in each Region to re-enforce learning and to share best practice.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a few years of experience in Programme Operations and/or PDQ, who understands the value of using system, and Standard Project Methodologies adopted by SCI to grow and develop in this area, gaining experience and skills in the challenging contexts in which we operate.

The PMM PRIME Regional Coordinator will be the person responsible for supporting and developing the usage of PRIME in deployment and throughout the transition into BAU, across the COs in MEEE (Middle East and Eastern Europe)

This consists in:

– Contributing to PMM uptake with training and monitoring support, overseeing completion of action plans and PMM compliance.

– Supporting PRIME to become a key enabler of program development and management.

– Implementing the strategies around system adoption, jointly with the Programme Operations function.

This role will also contribute to the continuous improvement initiatives of the PRIME solution, based on user feedback.

The PMM PRIME Regional Coordinator will, from time to time, also work directly on PRIME as a user to support COs in addressing ad-hoc issues, i.e. whenever the complexity of the task or CO limited capacity will require so.

• Experience of driving adoption and usage compliance.
