Kaizen seeks a Deputy Chief of Party (DCOP) for the USAID/Asia’s Technical Services Activity (Asia Futures). The Asia Futures activity is a Washington-managed contract designed to bolster USAID regional policy objectives in Asia. With an expansive mandate to operate across the continent, this multidisciplinary initiative aims to create resilient, equitable, and prosperous societies underpinned by strong democratic institutions. The Asia Futures activity is structured around four primary objectives, to be implemented in collaboration with the private sector, governments, and civil society: (1) Address emerging development challenges in key countries and subregions as a result of Asia’s increasingly competitive strategic environment. (2) Strengthen intra- and inter-regional connectivity and development diplomacy, including cooperation with key development donors and partners. (3) Improving resilience to climate, including related threats to health, and food systems. (4) Strengthen the capacity of USAID/Asia Missions in addressing complex threats.

- Support the COP in ensuring that all project deliverables and reporting are of good quality and submitted in accordance with USAID regulations and timely.
- Support cross-sectoral integration across economic growth, democracy, health, gender equality and inclusive development, and climate challenges by identifying and leveraging synergies among these technical areas in line with broader regional strategies, as appropriate.

- Oversee monitoring and evaluation (M&E) performance reporting to ensure alignment with client and activity objectives.
