Do you have the passion, knowledge, and experience to support Christian Aid in eradicating poverty in Kenya? Do you have the leadership and programme development skills to take a successful country programme to new heights of performance and impact? Can you build effective partnerships across all sectors – aid community, private sector, local and national government, faith institutions?
You could be working for a multi-national company and looking for a job which is just as challenging but infinitely more rewarding. Or you could be feeling your ambition and entrepreneurial flair are being stifled by a traditional NGO environment. Whatever you are doing, wherever you are, this is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a natural leader and skilled professional to use your talent to mobilise people and resources, and make a very real difference to those living in poverty.
As Country manager you will bring entrepreneurial skills to develop new opportunities, alliances and partnerships to help bring about the end of poverty. You will have excellent people and performance management skills. Your experience in programme management needs to be matched by your ability to act as an ambassador for Christian Aid and your commitment to communications and advocacy within the organisation as a whole. You will have a proactive approach to leading and delivering the changes needed to ensure we maximise the quality and impact of our Kenya country programme. You will be committed to your own learning and development, and that of your team and the wider organisation. You will have strong abilities in strategic planning and implementation, and you will have a clear vision and passion to make a lasting contribution to the eradication of poverty in Kenya.
