About The Position

At FH Canada, we believe transformation happens when local communities are in the driver's seat. We walk alongside partners around the world who are leading their own development journeys — fostering resilience, gender equality, and hope for generations to come. As part of our International Programs team, the Program Quality and Impact Advisor is the technical backbone of that belief — the subject matter expert who ensures every tool, system, and framework we build actually puts communities in control of their own impact.

Requirements

Master's degree in International Development, Gender Studies, Public Health, or a related technical field.
Minimum 7–10 years of progressive experience in international development, with significant focus on program quality, human-centred design, technical design, MEAL, and/or gender equality.
Demonstrated experience applying participatory or community-led program approaches — including community-based data collection and community accountability mechanisms.
Demonstrated experience designing and building new processes, tools, and systems from the ground up, and translating strategy into practical frameworks where none yet exist.
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, including clear technical reports and engaging workshop facilitation.
Highly proficient with digital tools and platforms, with the ability to quickly learn and leverage new software to improve workflows, and provide technical assistance and capacity building to diverse partners.
Alignment with and commitment to FH Canada's mission and values, including the FH Canada Statement of Faith.

Nice To Haves

Experience in this emerging area is an asset; genuine commitment to community-led practice is equally valued.
Familiarity with Canadian charitable regulations and institutional donor requirements (e.g., Global Affairs Canada) is an asset.
Previous supervisory and team leadership experience is an asset.
Fluency in a secondary language used in FH program regions is considered a significant asset.

Responsibilities

Advise the International Programs team and partners on program quality and design.
Build MEAL systems grounded in ethical data practices.
Champion gender equitable, community-led approaches to program design, implementation, and evaluation.
Turn technical findings into clear insights for partners, leadership, and donors.
Lead technical development of institutional grant proposals, including GAC-funded theories of change and results frameworks.
Drive thought leadership and inter-partner learning.
Stay current on best practices in international development, MEAL, and gender equality.
Champion FH Canada's purpose and values.
Contribute to a connected remote-first culture.
Model the community-centred values we expect in our programming.
