Consortium Grants Manager at Premiere Urgence Internationale (PUI)

General Objective

• The Consortium Grants Manager is part of a dedicated consortium team composed of three staff members – the Consortium Coordinator, the Consortium MEAL Manager, and the Consortium Grants Manager – responsible for the day-to-day management and oversight of the FCDO-funded consortium project, led by PUI in collaboration with three National NGOS.
• This unit operates under the direct supervision of the Head of Mission and works in close collaboration with the Deputy Head of Programs, as well as the Grants and Partnerships team supporting the wider PUI Nigeria mission portfolio.
• Under the technical supervision and direct line management of the Consortium Coordinator, the Grants Manager provides key support in the preparation of reports, donor communications, and other documentation relevant to the consortium.
• They serve as the mission’s focal point for all matters related to the donor contract (FCDO), including compliance with donor guidelines and reporting requirements, and liaise regularly with the HQ Program Officer and/or HQ Grants Officer.
• The Grants Manager is also responsible for monitoring and following the reporting and compliance aspects of the local partners implementing activities within the consortium.
• He is also responsible of the communication aspects related to the consortium.
• In addition to their consortium-specific responsibilities, the Grants Manager supports the broader Grants and Communication department in the development and reporting of other projects within PUI’s mission in Nigeria.

Context and Background of the Consortium Project

• The Grants Manager will primarily support a multi-partner consortium project addressing the urgent protection needs of conflict-affected women and girls—alongside men and boys where relevant—across Northeast and Northwest Nigeria.
• The project focuses on delivering lifesaving, survivor-centered services to individuals affected by sexual violence, including conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), through an integrated response combining medical care (including clinical management of rape and sexual and reproductive health), psychosocial support, cash assistance, dignity kits, and safe referrals.
• The intervention also seeks to strengthen the protective environment by building the capacities of community-based protection structures, women-led organizations, and government actors, while empowering at-risk individuals through vocational training and economic recovery support.
• Operating in high-risk contexts such as Borno, Zamfara, and Katsina States, the project addresses deeply rooted structural and systemic gaps that perpetuate gender-based violence, with a particular focus on tackling the barriers to access faced by survivors—including stigma, weak referral systems, and under-resourced services.
• As mentioned above, the Grants Manager will play a critical role in ensuring high-quality donor compliance, proposal development, and reporting in a consortium setting, while facilitating coordination and alignment among implementing partners and contributing to the strategic oversight and adaptive management of this high-impact GBV-focused initiative, aligned with the UK’s priorities on gender equality and human rights.
