Contract Type: Fixed Term
Duration: 36 months
The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is now recruiting for a dynamic and entrepreneurial Global Coordinator to join our London office and operationalise the Demand Generation Alliance (DGA). This is a fast-paced role with a variety of tasks and responsibilities across multiple management domains, and it will play a key leadership role in ensuring that the DGA operating model runs efficiently. This role is offered on a three-year fixed term contract and will involve occasional travel to GAIN offices as required.
About GAIN
The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a Swiss-based foundation launched at the UN in 2002 to tackle the human suffering caused by malnutrition. Working with both governments and businesses, we aim to transform food systems so that they deliver more nutritious food for all people. In particular, we aim to make healthier food choices more desirable, more available, and more affordable. GAIN’s mission is to advance nutrition outcomes by improving consumption of nutritious and safe food for all people, especially the most vulnerable to malnutrition.
About the Role
The Demand Generation Alliance is a new initiative, incubated by GAIN, that recognizes that there is a critical space to address consumer demand. Demand cannot be created by one factor or one actor alone, so we see a need for multi-stakeholder, cross-sector collaborations to shape and respond to consumer demand and enable better choices for the future. Demand relies on consumers valuing and preferring nutritious and sustainable foods; it cannot just be legislated.
The Global Coordinator role is a fast-paced, entrepreneurial position with a variety of tasks and responsibilities across multiple management domains. The postholder will have the opportunity to set up and operationalise the DGA, with the support of Lead Group members, by June 2024. The Global Coordinator will play a key leadership role in achieving this outcome and in ensuring that the operating model runs efficiently.
Specific Responsibilities include:
Leading and managing Lead Group meetings and DGA Management meetings internally
Developing workplans that efficiently distribute tasks and resources adequately across the fiscal year
Managing procurement process/request for proposals, including supervision of work, workflow for review of deliverables by Sr. Programme Manager or Lead Group members, and payment processing
Ensuring that external service providers are hired in a timely manner to execute the operational strategy of the DGA
In collaboration with the Lead Group, coordinating the activities of interns or fellows
Ensuring that advisory reports and deliverables from service providers are shared with Lead Group members, in an easy-to-understand format and in timely fashion
Developing a database of potential funders
Ensuring that generated by the Communications Manger adheres to the communication strategy and plan
Ensuring all DGA communication channels are well managed, including regular posting of relevant content
Budgeting and forecasting
Coordinating meetings and engaging with potential funders
Ensuring that the communications plan is produced and well managed
About You
You should have experience in setting up an alliance, initiative or membership organisation, alongside experience in people management and budget administration. You should also have excellent organisational skills and be able to efficiently use management tools (e.g., GANTT charts/SPRINT process). Underpinning all of this should be great teamwork and leadership skills, as well as a clear and analytical mindset. Experience of working in a public/private partnership would be advantageous.
In addition to the above, candidates should be qualified to Bachelor’s degree level or equivalent in Management, or alternatively have an equivalent level of relevant work experience.
About Our Offer
The starting salary on offer for this role is from £45,285 – £48,536 per annum, dependent on experience.
The start date for this role, to be agreed with the successful applicant, will not commence until after the 1st January 2022.
GAIN has a fair and competitive salary structure that allows for annual progression subject to good performance. In addition, GAIN offers a total of 37 days holiday per year (including annual leave, public holidays and additional office closure days), an attractive pension scheme and competitive insurance cover including health, travel and life assurance.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) recently commissioned an ethnographic study to observe real-life behaviour in domestic and business kitchens, as well as collecting data on consumers’ self-reported food safety behaviour through their Food and You 2 survey. This study is being conducted in collaboration with Dr Gulbanu Kaptan and Dr Joshua Weller from the Centre for Decision Research at Leeds University Business School (LUBS).
The FSA and LUBS have agreed to co-fund a PhD studentship to deliver secondary analysis of data collected through the above projects.
As a jointly-funded doctoral student, you will have the opportunity to conduct applied research that support the development of FSA policy recommendations. Additionally, you will benefit from a supportive environment led by experienced LUBS academics and FSA practitioners specialised in the fields of judgment and decision making, consumer behaviour, and food safety.
Full description

The FSA is an independent non-ministerial government department working across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to protect public health and consumer’s wider interests in food. The role of social researchers in FSA is to work collaboratively with colleagues across the Agency (and beyond) to ensure evidence and research are embedded in the recommendations for future policy and delivery options.
As a doctoral student, you will be supervised by Dr Gulbanu Kaptan and Dr Joshua Weller. Both academics have strong publication records and secured research funding from a number of UK and international funding agencies. Please see the links below to learn more about their research:

Interviews of shortlisted candidates will be held in the week commencing 29th November 2021.
