Senior Programme Manager and Knowledge Lead

As Senior Programme Manager, Julia leads and delivers a range of programmes, focusing on research projects, tool and guidebook development, Fit for Partnering programmes, and case studies. Key strengths and interests include research and analysis, as well as development of tailored tools and case studies.

As TPI’s lead on knowledge management, Julia is leading TPI’s efforts to develop into a fully knowledge-enabled, learning organisation. This includes developing our knowledge strategy and frameworks, supporting a culture of knowledge exchange and learning, and developing relevant business tools and systems. Previously TPI’s communications manager, Julia still manages TPI’s website and content as well as supporting the development of our communications.

Julia’s background prior to TPI was in emergencies communications and information management. On humanitarian missions to Haiti after the earthquake in 2010, Ethiopia during the hunger crisis in 2011, and Mali during the civil war in 2012, Julia gained extensive experience in emergency response communications, coordination, reporting, and information management. Working at headquarters and at field-level, she coordinated programme reporting for multiple Oxfam affiliates and partners in collaboration with globally distributed teams.

Julia’s non-work life is primarily dedicated to mothering a busy and enthusiastic 3-year-old. Aside from family adventures – as often as possible in nature – Julia loves travel, books, Argentine tango, sculling, birdwatching, embroidery, baking cardamom buns, and the occasional cryptic crossword.
