These networks will empower diverse civil society stakeholders with strengthened relationships, skills, and tools to collaboratively prevent rising tensions and political and electoral crises.

  5. Oversee the financial management of the project, including maintenance of the project budget, implementation, monitoring, and compliance with financial standards applicable to internal and donor requirements.
  6. Immerse and connect with national and state-level individuals and organizations working on democracy, bridge-building, social justice, and other relevant fields.
  7. Build partnerships and donor relations in line with strategy.
  8. Assist with ensuring donor compliance through strengthening systems, policies, and procedures.
  9. Provide finance support in development of cost-related responses to post-submission donor questions/requests for revision.

  3. Build relationships and engage effectively with vendors, organizations, professional associations, partners, funders, and Search's network of experts critical to the area of purview.
  4. Use resiliency and exhibit flexibility and adaptability to changing tasks and team priorities.
  5. Articulate Search and Common Ground USA's program/project goals and objectives within and external to Search; support development of program objectives, indicators, and results; and participate in strategy development for the team.
