Save the Children

Somalia
Title: Project Director OFDA/FFP
Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children’s lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential.
We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.
We have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.9 billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever before, through programmes in health, nutrition, education, protection and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises.
Following a major transition, our international programmes are now delivered through a merged operation with 15,000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively small, central office. We’re changing to become more efficient, more aligned, a better partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for world-class people and relevant for the 21st century.
ROLE PURPOSE:
Save the Children is seeking a Project Director for its proposed USAID/FFP and OFDA-funded programmes in Somalia designed to deliver an integrated emergency food assistance, health, nutrition and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), disaster risk reduction (DRR) and child protection (CP) services to drought-affected communities in Puntland, Somaliland, South-West state, Hir-shebelle State and other regional states the project could potentially expand to. Through these projects, SC will respond to food insecurity, reducing mortality and morbidity levels and increasing wellbeing among drought and conflict-affected communities in Somalia through integrated, multi-sectoral programming. We are currently seeking a senior-level Project Director to lead these critical projects in Somalia.
The Project Director’s base of operations is Somalia with up to 75% travel to Puntland, Somaliland, Hiran, and other operational Member States within Somalia to work with Program Managers and FSL, health, nutrition, WASH and CP program teams to provide effective leadership, strategic oversight, operational guidance, support monitoring and evaluation, and ensure quality and timely implementation of the project. He/she will also ensure effective financial and operational management of the project. The Project Director acts as the key focal point and represents the project to USAID/FFP and OFDA, and other key stakeholders, including government representatives in Somalia, while ensuring SC participation in key technical working groups and sectors (including Cash).
