Join Us at Plan International Bangladesh: Make a Lasting Impact!

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And its girls who are most affected and mostly during crisis. Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries. 

Over the 30 years journey in Bangladesh, we envision a 2030 where children and youth, particularly girls and young women, are recognized as leaders of change in gender norms and can make decisions about their lives.

For past three decades, our work in Bangladesh has made a significant impact, and we are now looking for a Phase-in-Manager.

The Role

The Phase-In Manager will lead the setup and operationalization of new Sponsoreship Funded Programme (SFP) areas during the phase-in period. The role ensures inclusive community engagement, government relations, risk management, and partner mobilization aligned with Plan International’s Country Strategy (CS2030), child protection, gender equality, and localization principles. By the end of the phase-in, 7,000 sponsored children will be enrolled across Sunamganj and Teknaf.

The Phase-In Manager will foster a safe and respectful environment for sponsored children and collaborate with local implementing partners to establish a strong foundation for long-term sponsorship operations.

What we’re looking for 

Essential

• Education & Experience: Master’s in Development Studies, Social Sciences, or related field with 7+ years in community mobilization, government liaison, and project management; 5+ years in Sponsorship programme oversight.
• Technical Expertise: Proven ability in managing sponsorship transitions, risk and stakeholder analysis, and aligning programmes with country strategy and sustainability goals.
• Contextual Knowledge: Strong understanding of Bangladesh’s socio-cultural dynamics, governance systems, child rights, gender-transformative and child-centered programming.
• Partnership & Communication: Skilled in donor/sponsorship relationship management, networking, and partnership development with government, NGOs, and communities; excellent communication in Bangla and English.
• Flexibility & Commitment: Ability to travel extensively to remote areas and ensure community engagement and protection standards during phase-in/phase-out processes.
