OPPORTUNITY
This is a great opportunity for a mission-driven individual who is interested in international development and program management.
- Do you want to work with an innovative and collaborative team committed to transformational change in how we approach sustainable development?
- Do you want to lead change within a rapidly growing mission-driven company that fosters knowledge sharing and encourages ideas to streamline management processes?
PURPOSE AND NEED
Environmental Incentives, LLC (EI) is seeking to hire a Director of Operations and Finance for the anticipated five-year Global Health Risk and Capacity (GHRC) Mechanism funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through USAID's Global Health Bureau. The primary objective of the mechanism is to provide partners and Missions with support to work directly with local organizations across USAID/Global Health's portfolio, building on the successes and lessons learned from U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief's (PEPFAR's) local partner transition as well as other localization efforts across the Agency. The mechanism will support identifying, treating, and mitigating risks; provide effective and individualized capacity development support for programmatic and operational excellence; improve monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL); and improve Missions' ability to provide oversight and manage local partners.
As a part of the Senior Management Team of the GRHC activity, the Director of Operations and Finance will oversee the operational, financial, compliance, and administrative management of GHRC mechanism and ensure that project management advances the clients' vision for success over the life of the activity. Core responsibilities include supporting a successful contract start-up including aligning project-specific planning, budgeting, and reporting tools with EI's corporate tools and systems. With the Project Director, you will oversee and manage the financial performance of the contract and will provide regular, clear, and actionable budget information to USAID clients who fund core and buy-in activities. You will ensure contract compliance with all USAID legal and policy requirements, helping the implementing team, including subcontractors, develop and use systems that will support compliance while also delivering tailored, client-responsive services to buy-ins from Missions around the world. The Director of Operations and Finance will lead a four-person project management team within GHRC (that may grow with demand) to oversee core and buy-in budget management, consultant backstopping, subcontractor management, and project management and reporting functions.
The candidate will also engage with EI's Program Management Unit Service Line to increase the effectiveness of GHRC by drawing on company knowledge and resources, and disseminate company best practices, policies, tools, and processes within GHRC. Further, the candidate will engage in company-level processes, such as corporate reporting and forecasting, annual strategic planning, and operations decision-making and support.
This will be a full-time position and will be contingent on award and funding, which is expected to be confirmed Summer 2024.
