International Alert is looking for an entrepreneurial individual who has a talent for strategic programme development in the peacebuilding sector. To do this, the individual will have strong process and interpersonal skills which will enable you to gain and maintain the trust and respect of government actors, the business community and local civil society organisations.
You will be responsible for leading and developing Alert’s peacebuilding work in Liberia. This will involve managing the country programme, supervising the work of partners and ensuring quality control of Alert’s peacebuilding outcomes, as well as financial oversight. You will be managing current initiatives, in the area of natural resource management and security governance, whilst assessing longer term programming opportunities in the country. Alert’s methodology is based on long term engagement in conflict affected regions and you will be required to develop a clear strategy that can be sustained over time, a strategy which will also make reference to the wider West Africa/Sahel region.
With a degree in a relevant subject, you will have substantial experience in peacebuilding, including directly in at least two of Alert’s thematic areas of work (eg. Governance, political economy, gender and peacebuilding, natural resource management, conflict sensitivity). In addition to this we are looking for a person who is experienced in management, supervision and delivery of research outputs. You will have an eye for detail in project management and enjoy working in a diverse team.
