This is a four-year contract based in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. The program will provide tailored assistance to support countries to advocate for, build and strengthen effective, sustainable, gender-responsive and shock responsive social protection systems in our region.
This position is contingent on award of funding from DFAT.
We're ambitious, creative and outspoken. We stand up for children's rights. We want all children to be educated, healthy and live a life free from violence. We run programs in Australia and overseas and, if there's a disaster - like an earthquake, drought or conflict - we are there on the ground.
In this full-time, maximum-term position, based in Port Moresby you will hold overall responsibility for the direction, technical design and coordination of the program. The role provides financial, administrative, technical and operational management leadership to the project across project sites in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga and other Pacific island countries as needed. You will be part of our International Programs team and report to our Pacific Regional Director.
You will make an impact by:
You have strategically led and managed multi-country programs; been accountable for the achievement of program deliverables; and provided strategic oversight to program quality through an agreed Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning Framework. Served as the coordination leader and focal point for INGO program partners, as well as national and sub-national Pacific governments. Served as a key liaison point of contact with donors, key private sector partners, local institutions and communities in close coordination with home office and regional leadership.
This role requires:
It's the feeling of knowing that your work is contributing to making the world a better place for children and working with others who feel the same. We offer a competitive salary including mobilisation and de-mobilisation airfares, accommodation, basic utilities, annual leave flights, a friendly and flexible work environment, and great career opportunities - both locally and internationally.
