Posted on by Vaseline

About Relief International:

Relief International (RI) works with communities affected by conflict, climate change and disasters to save lives, build greater resilience and promote long-term health and wellbeing. RI currently operates in 16 countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

About the possibility:

Our goal is to build a Talent Pool of strong candidates for:

  • Chief of the Party
  • Project director
  • Technical Advisors (WASH, Health, Education, Food Security and Livelihoods)
  • Functions of team leaders

This is in anticipation of future multi-year, multi-million dollar, USAID-funded development opportunities.

We actively seek to engage with professionals with exceptional organizational, strategic thinking and representation skills, and would like to hear from senior leaders with the following qualifications:

  • Extensive knowledge of USAID programming, approaches and policies.
  • Demonstrated experience in successfully leading the initiation, implementation and/or closure of large, complex USAID-funded initiatives, including management of international and local partner consortia and project design and delivery within fragile contexts.
  • Master’s degree or higher from an accredited college or university in fields such as, but not limited to, education, economics, business administration, international development, organizational development, or proven commensurate experience.
  • Solutions-oriented mindset and demonstrated ability to understand and meet the needs of diverse stakeholders and partners.
  • Knowledge of designing, implementing and/or managing projects focused on health, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), education and/or food security and economic recovery and development (Livelihoods).
  • Significant previous experience working in conflict or crisis situations, preferably in the countries where Relief International operates.
  • Experience managing the work of staff and subcontractors, both within and outside your technical area of ​​expertise, such as gender, inclusive development, climate, education, private sector engagement, conservation, energy and land and resource management.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills, including professional fluency in written and spoken English (required). Professional command of other languages ​​spoken in RI countries (Arabic, French, Dari, Pashto, Urdu) is strongly preferred.

We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with prior USAID experience as party chief and/or deputy party chief who can effectively lead RI’s programs and set strategic direction for country missions.

All roles will take place in host countries depending on the location of the funding opportunity. This includes Afghanistan, Chad, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Myanmar, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Yemen and the occupied Palestinian territories (West Bank and Gaza).

All employment offers are subject to donor funding and approval.

How to apply

How will it work?

If you are successful, we will invite you to an initial HR meeting to discuss your interest and availability for current and future (anticipated) opportunities. We then conduct a technical interview with programmatic and/or operational colleagues, if relevant, and conduct a background check. Upon successful completion of your clear background check, you will be added to our Proposal Talent Pool database. We will contact you about specific options and discuss whether your profile is part of the offer.

At Relief International, we are committed to building a representative, inclusive and authentic workplace. We strongly encourage applications from candidates from underrepresented backgrounds and those who bring with them lived experience of the contexts in which we work.

The salary and conditions depend on the location and the proposal submitted.

Research shows that minority individuals are less likely to apply for a job unless they meet all the requirements. If you are excited about this opportunity, but your experience does not match every criteria described, we encourage you to apply anyway. Then you might be exactly what we need!

These positions require standard pre-employment checks; all final offers are subject to donor funding and approval.
