Job Details:
Organisation: CARE - USA
Deadline Thu, 18 Sep 2014
Job type: Permanent
Location:
Bangladesh
CARE is seeking an experienced Chief of Party. S/he will have overall responsibility for the five year SHOUHARDO II Program (June 2010 - May 2015) consisting of a budget of USD 130 million and commodity levels of 287,000 metric tons (230,000 MT for monetization to the Government of Bangladesh, and 57,000 MT for direct distribution to pregnant and lactating mothers with children under the age of two years). This is a particularly complex COP position given that SHOUHARDO II is CARE`s largest Program worldwide, as well as USAID`s largest non-emergency food security program worldwide. It is also recognized by the Government of Bangladesh as being a major contributor to the safety net initiative and poverty alleviation programs in the country. As a result SHOUHARDO II assumes a high profile in both a global and national context and expectations are high given the impressive impacts achieved in the previous phase SHOUHARDO.
The COP ensures the different components work towards a common goal where the implementation team (led by the DCOP), the technical team (led by the National Technical Coordinator), the resources team (led by the Resource Management Coordinator), the M&E team (led by the M&E Coordinator); the Humanitarian Assistance team (led by the Humanitarian Assistance Coordinator; and the Knowledge Management team (led by the Knowledge Management Coordinator) all work in coordination and supportive roles to each other to bring greatest impact. Further complexities include the 13 Government Ministries who are part of the Program Advisory Coordination Committee, and 90% of the delivery through 16 national PNGOs. This requires the COP to have excellent management and interpersonal skills to work with these different partners. In addition to the implementation of the Program, SHOUHARDO II also maintains high level technical partnerships with international agencies including RIMES (in Thailand) to develop Early Warning Systems; IUCN to develop floating gardens; World Fish to build technologies around improve fishing livelihoods; and CSISA which is funded directly from the Feed the Future Fund of the USG.
Given the scale and complexity of SHOUHARDO II, the COP must have a proven track record in managing food and livelihood security programs, and ideally knowledge of all the different technical components SHOUHARDO II works with. S/he must also have a demonstrable history of working with the highest levels of government counterparts, technical partners, implementing partners, and donors. A good understanding of USAID rules and regulations is important, with particular knowledge of Title II PL 480 programming being highly desirable.
The post is a key member of the Country Office (CO) Senior Management Team and s/he will participate in and be responsible for the strategic leadership and direction of the CARE Bangladesh Program. This includes developing policy and practice, representing and marketing CARE`s work and making decisions that advance the direction, quality and impact of the Strategic Plan.
Responsibilities:
- Create a learning environment leading to quality implementation;
- Program, financial and commodity management;
- Donor and government relations;
- Branding of SHOUHARDO II and CARE.
Required Skills:
- Bachelor`s Degree in related field;
- People/Relationship Management;
- Information/Knowledge Management;
- External Relationship/Fundraising.
Desired Skills:
- 7 years as a COP or Team Leader of a Title II Program, with Asia experience;
- Extensive experience in all of the above related specifically to Title II Programming.
