Founded in 1971, Pact works with partners to build resilience, improve accountability, and strengthen knowledge and skills for sustainable social impact.

Department




Programs - Pact strives for a world where all people are heard, capable, and vibrant. The Programs Team helps realize this objective by bridging program management, technical support, and business development, enabling Pact to achieve its global strategy. We ensure program excellence through continuous learning, monitoring and evaluation and provide organizational and industry-wide thought leadership by leveraging a complementary set of cross-functional, multi-disciplinary skills, expertise, and experiences. The Programs team: influences progressive change through the development and implementation of global and regional strategies and business plans; supports advancement of innovative solutions; pursues new business opportunities; and drives effective internal and external engagement to maximize Pact's impact across the globe. Across all aspects of its role, the Programs Department adheres to and promotes a culture of inclusion, accountability, and respect.

Position Overview




Pact seeks a Project Director for an anticipated, multi-year, donor-funded civil society support and inclusion (women and youth) project for Africa's Great Lakes region. This position is contingent upon award and will be based in the Great Lakes region.

Key Responsibilities




The Project Director (PD) will be responsible for technical leadership and the overall management and operations of the civil society support and inclusion project. The PD will supervise high-quality project implementation, with a focus on achieving the project goals and the donor's development strategy and objectives. The PD will lead activity coordination across all relevant parties, including the donor, host country counterparts, local and regional civil society organizations (CSOs), other institutional donors, and other civil society support and governance program implementing partners. The PD will oversee project staff and sub-grantees for results-oriented planning, and coordination of project activities.

The specific duties to be carried out by the successful candidate:

Ensure high-quality, results-oriented technical programming through hands-on guidance and support grounded in the project's strategic objectives and approved annual workplans.

Ensure compliance with donor rules/regulations and Pact processes, policies, procedures, and best practices. Ensure that the project meets stated goals, outcomes, benchmarks, and reporting requirements and oversee a complexity-aware monitoring, evaluation, and learning plan. Take a leadership role in coordination among key stakeholders, including partners, government stakeholders, civil society, and other civil society support and inclusion/governance programs. Manage and coordinate the implementation of activities across project partners, ensuring successful integration of activities. Oversee project planning (i.e., development of work plans and project budget), monitoring and reporting (i.e., prepare and submit technical, financial and any additional donor-requested reports) in accordance with the highest standards. Oversee project budget and work in close coordination with the Finance/Operations Manager to meet expected results, ensuring cost-effective use of donor and Pact's resources. Support the implementation of a highly adaptive, partner-led, context-driven programmatic approach. Ensure a responsive and innovative approach to developing the capacity of CSOs and their leaders, personnel, and members with a particular emphasis on promoting women and youth leadership and inclusion. Provide strategic management and oversight of the project's sub-award portfolio. Lead and manage a team of flexible and adaptive employees and oversee evidence-based adjustments in programming to achieve greater impact. Oversee project staff in helping partners establish reporting and tracking systems to provide key information in an efficient and timely manner. Ensure the program meets programmatic and financial targets and makes accurate projections. Represent the project at conferences, working groups, and meetings to support Pact's thought leadership with regards to civil society strengthening, inclusion, capacity development, and accountable governance. Serve as security focal person and ensure the safety and security of Pact's staff and its properties at all times.
