Nairobi, Kenya Tony Blair Institute for Global Change Full time

The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change supports political leaders and governments to build open, inclusive and prosperous societies in a globalised world. We do this through developing policy and advising governments.
Role Summary

TBI’s Global Client Solutions (GCS) team is at the heart of how we define “what we do” and then distribute the best of the Institute and our networks to global leaders through our country advisory teams. As a centre of excellence, GCS is comprised of functional and sectoral experts who provide valuable counsel, technical support, thought partnership, strategy, and surge capacity to our embedded advisors working hand-in-hand with governments.
GCS’s Delivery Anchor Team (DAT) specialises in the processes, tools and techniques used by political leaders to steer more effective and faster implementation of government priorities. Delivery is at the heart of TBI’s origin story and offer, beginning with Mr. Blair’s time in Downing Street when he established the first government Delivery Unit. We are driven by outcomes and have a laser-focus on making government work: ‘getting things done’ and ‘making change happen’ in complex delivery ecosystems while constantly leveraging lessons from the frontline and innovating to offer best-in-class delivery solutions to our clients.

Please note that if you are applying for the role in Nairobi you must have the right to work in Country.
As TBI and our delivery work is growing rapidly in the Americas, EMEA and Asia, we are hiring global Senior Delivery Advisors with extensive experience working with, or for, governments to join our growing team supporting political leaders and partners on making change happen through innovative delivery mechanisms.

The role will be situated centrally, primarily providing expert support to our in-country TBI advisors, our partner governments, and other key stakeholders worldwide on strengthening their delivery systems and to deliver concrete results to their citizens.
This is a senior expert role requiring exceptional candidates with relevant expertise, deep networks and experience working with governments, development and technical partners active in delivery. Global experience, or experience translating your expertise in diverse contexts is a must.

Support project teams to assess and build the capacity of government counterparts to effectively implement their Delivery strategies

Innovation in Delivery and thought leadership

Development of strategic partnerships

In collaboration with the Strategic Partnerships and Initiatives team, support the development and nurturing of relationships with existing or potential strategic partners to support TBI’s fundraising, business development, thought-leadership, policy influencing and programme delivery
Ensuring that the partnerships reflect TBI’s proprietary Delivery methodology, impact on the ground, and strategic priorities
