Organisation: CARE - USA
Deadline Thu, 24 May 2018

United States
At CARE, we seek a world of hope, tolerance and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and people live with dignity and security.
This has been our vision since 1945, when we were founded to send lifesaving CARE Packages® to survivors of World War II. Today, CARE is a global leader in the movement to eradicate poverty. In 2016, CARE worked in 94 countries and reached 80 million people with an incredible range of life-saving programs. We also put women and girls at the center of our work because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. We seek dynamic, innovative thinkers to further our mission. If you share our core beliefs: poverty is an injustice; poverty is solvable; and together, we have the power to end it, join us.
As part of CARE’s priority to enhance quality programming in its humanitarian preparedness and response globally, the positions of Technical Advisors have been established in each of the four core sectors (FSL, WASH, Shelter, and SRH). The Cash and Markets Advisor will be one of the global Advisors with oversight of development and implementation of market-based interventions in humanitarian contexts including guidance to markets assessments and use of cash transfers. The use of Cash Based Interventions (CBI) within CARE International (CI) has gradually gained momentum and has been recognised as a suitable response modality in appropriate contexts. This role is an attempt to lead CARE USA’s commitments and strategy to enhance Cash Programming efforts across its humanitarian operations. The position will also serve as a link to the CARE Confederation in attempt to empower key decisions and operational excellence at the regional level building strategic and operational capacity in cash approaches.
CARE is seeking a CASH and Market Technical Advisor who will be responsible for leading CARE USA’s strategic discussions around cash programming as well as enable regional and Country Office operational readiness to assess, analyse, design and implement humanitarian strategies and response. The incumbent will also explore opportunities to integrate CBI and other market-based approaches into other three CI emergency response core sectors, thus coordinating with CI Emergency team members and country office staff to ensure a rapid, proportionate and effective response. The TA may need to take an active role in supporting regional or country-based technical co-ordination, support and advocacy with the country specific Food Security and Nutrition Clusters, Cash working groups and other stakeholders and technical agencies relevant to the sector. The TA will closely work with the Director of Practice, Partnerships and Innovation (Humanitarian Team) to ensure fair and solid representation in relevant Cash fora. The position will also be expected to work closely across CARE USA departments (e.g. PPL, Innovation, IPO) to ensure the work is connected to broader organizational goals and takes into consideration the humanitarian – development nexus.
Responsibilities:
- Provide Strategic Technical Leadership and Innovation in Markets and Cash Programming
- Coordinate and provide technical support to Country Programs
- Capacity Building of staff on Cash and Markets programming
- Capture Monitoring and Lessons Learnt
- Perform other duties as assigned.
Qualifications:
