As the Country Director, you will be MSI's senior representative in the country, working closely with governments, donors and other key stakeholders to deliver essential family planning and reproductive healthcare services to empower women to choose when they have their children.

As the only organization specialising in sexual and reproductive health services in the country, the programme is focused on improving the health of people in Timor-Leste through provision of family planning and safe motherhood services, sexually transmitted infection and HIV counselling and testing, and youth friendly information and services.

In addition you will be an experienced Country Director in the development sector who has managed a complex programme and has a demonstrated understanding of implementing development programmes. 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.
