This strategic leader will join a highly collaborative Management Group in their service of an ambitious global movement by taking the lead in one of the most challenging and high-profile environments in which TI operates.

Reporting to the Group Director, the Director will seek out and stimulate new leads and oversee and support continuous enhancement and improvement to the work, reputation, and anti-corruption impact of Chapters, emerging contacts and partners in the MENA Region.

Demonstrating improvement in the institutional and media relevance, presence, responsiveness and reputation of TI in the MENA region, the successful candidate will deliver growth in the number of Chapters, take part in regional programmes and develop the leadership of the MENA Regional Department and the Chapter Heads towards a TI wide culture of professional programme management, innovation and continuous improvement.
Responsibilities include ensuring on-going monitoring by Regional Officers and Coordinators of the political situation, anti-corruption developments and reputational risks; ensuring the strengthening of TI’s institutional and Programme presence, reputation and impact; leading and monitoring progress towards successful regional implementation (including mobilisation of resources) of TI-S’ Key Programmes by the MENA regional team and Chapters.

If you have proven leadership experience in relevant roles and environments and are fluent in Arabic, English and French, please consider whether you might best leverage your professional expertise and your personal passion for fighting corruption by joining the diverse, global, and talented movement of Transparency International.
