About the role

Marie Stopes International are recruiting a Country Director for our Senegal Programme. Based in Dakar, the Country Director will be MSI's senior representative in the country, working closely with governments, donors and other key stakeholders to overcome barriers that prevent women and men from accessing safe, affordable, reliable family planning and other sexual and reproductive health services.

One of MSI's smaller programmes, Senegal was established in 2011 and currently employs c. 60 staff across 7 of the 14 regions in the country. However, there is potential to grow this well-established platform through clinic expansion, outreach, youth engagement and social franchising.

As the Country Director of Senegal you will oversee and navigate this growth by preparing and executing the annual budgets, marketing plans and overall work plan. This will include developing new business opportunities; overseeing financial, administrative and logistical resources; ensuring adherence to MSI minimum standards; and assuring quality operations in line with annual and long-term strategic goals and objectives. Leading a skilled, professional country team, you will manage for results, valuing and rewarding high performance, accountability, speed and efficiency and innovation, while keeping the client at the heart of everything we do.

About You

You do not need to have Family Planning or SRH experience to apply for this role; working as a Country Director at MSI, what you do need is a passion for our mission and the work that we do. In addition you will be a hands-on, commercially-minded manager who is drawn by the challenge of both programme expansion and building long-term relationships with key stakeholders.

You will have proven general management experience in operationally demanding and challenging environments as well as experience designing and delivering strategic and annual business plans and income generation through donor funding, and/or commercial activities. You will have financial and reporting management experience, to include managing and improving the bottom line and the ability to generate, track and analyse management information and client data to inform management decision-making. In addition you will be motivated to deliver tangible results for the organisation and have the ability to manage change successfully.

The successful candidate will be pro-choice.
