MAG is a humanitarian organisation, working in conflict and former conflict countries to reduce the devastating effects of armed violence and the remnants of conflict for the benefit of local communities.
MAG has been working in South Sudan since 2004, working to clear landmines/unexploded ordnance and deliver mine risk education to at-risk populations. We are seeking to recruit a Country Director to lead our programme in South Sudan, who will have overall responsibility for the delivery of MAGs activities in-country.
You don’t need previous experience in mine action and we welcome applications from experienced managers from any development sector.
Reporting to the Regional Programmes Manager at MAG HQ, you will have a wide range of responsibilities to ensure the effective integration of strategic, programmatic and operational management of the South Sudan programme. This role will provide you with the opportunity to use your management skills, leading a large team of international and national staff operating across geographically diverse and challenging environments. You will also have the opportunity to use your skills in business development, managing a number of different projects and further developing MAG’s work and profile in the region.
The Country Director will be based in Juba with travel to MAG’s operational bases as required. As well as skills in people and project management, you will need previous experience working overseas in senior management roles in an international context, managing large scale projects, from project design through to monitoring and evaluation.
Due to the nature of this project, candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible and shortlisting will take place as applications are received.
