Position Details:
The TA Advisor will provide technical leadership and delivery oversight for the programme’s emerging Window 3 mechanism first and foremost, and likewise contribute to quality oversight of specific TA activities across the programme’s 7 countries. In both cases, the role is intended to specialise in the provision of support on demographic transition (DT)-focused TA, including developing decision-ready tools that transform demographic data and insights for planning and budgeting, building government capacity on demographic evidence uptake, and strengthening institutional ownership of the population agenda.
Specifically, the Advisor under Window 3 will work with FCDO and government counterparts to define TA needs, design high-quality scopes of work, and ensure delivery of practical, high-impact support. Depending on the nature of each assignment, the Advisor may directly deliver technical inputs (either remotely or in-person), identify and manage local or regional consultants, or coordinate inputs from consortium partners and other technical experts. Across all TA assignments, the Advisor will be accountable for ensuring that TA is delivered to a high standard, responds to the needs of FCDO and government partners, and achieves the agreed measures of success. The Advisor is also expected to support the programme’s most strategic DT-focused TAs across its current 7 countries of operation, working closely with each Country Lead to quality assure delivery.
The Advisor will report to the Team Leader and work closely with the TA Coordinator, Country Leads, and MEL Lead to ensure that Window 3 operates as a responsive, technically credible, and well-managed mechanism within the wider programme.
Window 3 Primary Roles and
Responsibilities
Serve as the main point for technical review of FCDO Post requests via Window 3, including applying agreed prioritisation criteria to shortlist and agree TAs with FCDO centrally.
Lead the drafting and quality assurance of DT-specific TA terms of reference for Window 3 with FCDO Post colleagues, including the articulation of clear policy and system level problems, initial solutions design, outputs and outcomes, consultant requirements, and approaches to institutionalisation and sustainability.
Oversee end-to-end delivery of Window 3 TAs, ensuring progress against agreed deliverables, timelines, quality standards, and results.
Where required, directly deliver technical inputs related to DT, including analysis, facilitation, technical writing, stakeholder engagement, and other strategic advisory support. In other cases, work with the TA Coordinator to identify, brief, and manage local consultants as needed, ensuring that consultant inputs are technically strong, appropriately contextualised, and delivered in line with programme standards.
Identify risks early, adapting delivery approaches where needed, and escalating issues to the Team Leader or Programme Director as appropriate.
Maintain strong working relationships with FCDO Posts, supporting clear communication on assignment progress, risks, decisions required, and emerging opportunities for follow-on support.
Work closely with MEL and knowledge management colleagues to review progress of any Window 3 “small bets”, capture learning, success stories, and any other insights that can inform wider programme adaptation as part of the programme’s problem-driven iterative adaptation approach.
Contribute to forecasting, resource planning, and spend monitoring for Window 3 assignments, supporting value for money and timely delivery.
