President/ Executive Officer
3 months ago
PTF, headquartered in Washington DC, is seeking a
President/Chief Executive Officer. Given the
range of PTF's activities and the increasing challenges of
countering corruption and supporting
civil society organizations across middle-and low-income
countries, PTF intends to recruit a full-
time, remunerated chief executive, who will report to its Board of
Directors.
ORGANIZATIONAL SUMMARY
The Partnership for Transparency Fund, Inc. (PTF) is a 501 (c) 3
non-profit organization headquartered in Washington, DC with
affiliates in Europe and Southeast Asia and a special committee for
Africa. PTF's mission is to support innovative civil society-led
approaches to reducing corruption, increasing transparency and
accountability, strengthening governance and promoting the rule of
law in low- and middle-income countries. We believe that civic
engagement can make a significant difference.
PTF, with a rich history dating back to 2000, has been a pioneer
in fostering collaboration between civil society and governments to
improve accountability and the quality of services and protection
afforded citizens. PTF has over the years partnered with more than
160 civil society organizations (CSOs) in approximately 55
countries, working on a diverse portfolio of 285 anti-corruption
and CSO-building projects. These projects span various sectors
including education, environment, gender equity, health,
humanitarian assistance, and public procurement, demonstrating
PTF's versatility and commitment to addressing social impact
issues.
PTF is a volunteer organization, with 1-2 paid staff and about
50 expert international
development volunteer advisers who bring a wealth of experience
from previous employment by multilateral and bilateral development
agencies and large international development non-profit
organizations. PTF leverages this collective strength to provide
technical assistance, networking services, capacity-building grants
and analytical know-how to support the priorities of local civil
society in fostering transparent and accountable governance. PTF
also works with government agencies and development agencies to
improve their engagement strategies with local CSOs.
POSITION SUMMARY
PTF has been guided throughout its history by a part-time,
volunteer President, bolstered by a dedicated volunteer management
team overseeing various responsibilities such as programs, finance,
knowledge management, advocacy and administration. To expand the
program and increase its impact, the PTF Board has authorized the
search for a dedicated, full-time paid President.
The President will be responsible for strategic leadership,
program development and expansion and the focus on results and
impact. A significant part of the role will be to mobilize
additional operational and project funding, diversify funding
instruments and sources and build strong partnerships and
relationships with stakeholders. The President will be responsible
for attracting and encouraging a diverse staff and volunteer
cohort. He/she will represent the PTF to the broader good
governance community, using various communications tools,
participating
in external events and enhancing the PTF brand.
SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES
The President will be expected to carry out the following
responsibilities:
Strategic vision, mission and goals: In collaboration with the
board, ensure that the
PTF has a clearly articulated vision, mission, goals and
values.
Leadership: Carry out and update the strategy and business
plans as appropriate, apply
performance measurements to monitor achievement of goals; promote
innovation
Fundraising: Explore opportunities to increase funding for
both general operations and
projects; strengthen relationships with current funders and
cultivate new opportunities
with multilateral and bilateral agencies, foundations,
corporations, and individuals;
deploy multiple approaches to fundraising including non-traditional
sources; enhance
the annual fundraising results from the World Bank Community
Connections campaign
Portfolio Management: Oversee the portfolio of projects,
grants, knowledge products,
contracts and other deliverables; ensure the requisite quality of
PTF products; budget
management; auditing and accounting.
Promoting a collective PTF team: Promote collaboration and
communication among
PTF offices and volunteers in Europe, Africa, South Asia, and East
Asia.
Communications: Serve as principal spokesperson for the PTF,
engaging with the broad
PTF constituency through a wide range of in-person and virtual
communications
channels. Ensure messaging is compelling and engaging to different
audiences.
Staff and volunteers. Ensure that the PTF staff and
volunteers are fully engaged,
motivated, encouraged and reflect the PTF's commitment to
excellence, diversity,
equity, inclusion and mutual respect and collegiality.
Working with the Board: The President will report to the Board
and liaise on strategy,
program implementation, resources, financial management, results
and support the
Board as needed. Assist in the recruitment of new Board members.
Provide regular
reporting on program, organizational and financial issues.
Compliance: Make best efforts to ensure the PTF abides by the
laws of the US and other
countries where it operates, and its by-laws reflect best
practice.
Given the strong volunteer PTF management legacy, the President
will delegate whatever functions they feel are appropriate to
the management team. Agreement on those areas to be delegated
will be spelled out in the terms of engagement. Whatever functions
are delegated, the President may be expected to have some
involvement in their activities. The President may recommend
to the Board changes in the management arrangements.
PRIORITIES
Within the full range of PTF activities there are three areas
warranting special attention:
fundraising, communications and refreshing the volunteer
community.
Fundraising. The PTF has traditionally relied on international
financial institutions and bilateral donor agencies for project
funding. While it is important to maintain and strengthen
relationships with current funders, the PTF must reach out to
potential new donors (foundations, corporations, individuals) and
explore non-traditional funding opportunities. Obtaining
unrestricted funds should be a priority. The current process for
monitoring calls for proposals, deciding which to pursue and
drafting responses should be strengthened. The annual fundraising
program through the World Bank Community Connections Campaign,
which covers the PTF's principal operating budget needs
refreshing.
Communications. There are three broad areas that warrant
priority attention—advocacy, networking, and messaging. The PTF is
leading an international effort to increase the engagement of
citizens in the programs and policies of the World Bank Group. This
long-term effort needs to be maintained. Networking is an essential
function of the PTF, both with non-profit organizations working on
issues of accountability and transparency and with CSO partners for
sharing knowledge and experience. The PTF needs to revitalize its
messaging effort, with an improved website, social media events,
blogs and seminars. The President will serve as a representative
and advocate at events and conferences to raise the PTF's
visibility and profile.
Refreshing the Volunteer Community. The work of the PTF is
carried out essentially by a volunteer community of about 50
experienced development specialists, many retirees from IFIs,
bilateral aid agencies and the private sector. There is a need to
refresh and replenish the cohort over time with a younger, diverse
cadre of specialists with the skills needed for the critical issues
of the day.
DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE, SKILLS, AND QUALITIES
Education: Master's Degree or equivalent in business management,
public policy or in a
field relevant to the assignment areas.
Leadership: Minimum of 7 years of managerial and supervisory
responsibility in
development and/or anti-corruption, transparency, and

multi-disciplinary and geographically dispersed teams, preferably
comprising volunteers.
Passion for the PTF mission: Commitment to civil society-led
approaches to strengthen
transparency, accountability, and the fight against corruption in
developing countries.

including strategizing
and securing support through partnerships and a variety of
fundraising instruments.
Powerful storyteller: Passionate and effective articulation of
vision and work.
