You’re used to driving growth and managing critical relationships in a challenging environment. But what if that growth was in low cost renewable energy or the number of women involved in deciding the future of their community? And what if those relationships made a positive difference to children living with the effects of HIV? At Christian Aid, this is our bottom line not stocks and shares. It will soon be yours too. And a unique chance to make a Iife-changi ng difference to your life and thousands of others.
Effectively the CEO and senior representative of our operations in Nigeria, you’ll manage and coordinate our resources across the country. From setting budgets to implementing strategy it’s a varied and infinitely rewarding role. Working collaboratively on every level, you’ll make sure our programmes are efficient and effective. What’s more, you’ll raise awareness of Nigeria and the work we do there across the organisation through internal networking. As well as liaising within the organisation, it’s essential that you build strong external relationships with government officials, churches and our NGO partners. You’ll also develop and inspire your staff, making sure they’re enthused and able to achieve their goals.
Ambitious and entrepreneurial, you may be from a corporate or not-for-profit background. That’s where you’ll have developed your excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills. However, you’ll also be used to working in a less structured, more consultative environment. With your ability to plan strategically and coordinate people, projects and resources, you’ll be confident managing change and influencing others. Ideally, you’ll have first-hand knowledge, of Nigeria, but what’s more important is your sound understanding of international development issues.
We value everyone who works for us, so we offer a wide range of rewards from generous leave to a competitive benefits package to make sure you have the perfect work/life balance.
Christian Aid works with and employs people from all faiths and none. We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably experienced people irrespective offaith, gender, disability, sexual orientation and ethnicity
