We have created solutions that achieve outcomes across a broad range of sectors including education, health, finance, agriculture, governance, economic growth, energy and environment, and water.
Kaizen is seeking a Chief of Party (COP) for the anticipated 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 COP will ensure quality control over all project operations and performance targets, ensuring that deliverables outlined in the contract are completed to quality standards and in a timely and cost-effective manner. The COP must also have overall responsibility for assuring that all assistance provided under the contract is technically sound and appropriate for the needs to be addressed. The COP will provide guidance to senior technical staff.
