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.

The role
The Humanitarian/Recovery Programme Director is a new position for the Myanmar Country Office designed primarily in view of the on-going ethnic reconciliation changes and challenges facing the country. Over the past nine months the Country Office has become actively involved in two highly sensitive humanitarian responses (both “ethno-political” in nature) and both (Kachin and Rakhine) are expected to continue for an indefinite period of time.

More specifically, Rakhine State in north-western Myanmar has witnessed severe inter-ethnic violence at the beginning of June, with more than 5300 houses destroyed and officially 75,000 people still displaced and living in camps and temporary accommodation. This number increased to 110,000 as a result of a second wave of violence in October in other townships of the state. The Save the Children programme in Rakhine transformed into a very sensitive and increasingly complex humanitarian response in a difficult environment. New grants will allow us to develop the response for another 6 months.

Active conflict between the Myanmar Army and the Kachin Independence Organisation / Kachin Independence Army resumed in June 2011 and ceasefire negotiations have not yet been successful. There are presently about 75,000 people displaced by this conflict in the north of the country. Save the Children is implementing a smaller humanitarian programme through local partners in Kachin and Northern Shan but also in a challenging environment.

In addition to the humanitarian responses, the Country Office is every year responding to natural disasters of various magnitudes (cyclones, floods and earthquakes in general) throughout the country.

The Humanitarian/Recovery Programme Director’s primary objective will be to maintain overall responsibility for the humanitarian response programs of Rakhine and Kachin States, including; administration, technical assistance, fiscal management, and grant management of programs; direction, supervision, and evaluation of staff; and the implementation, evaluation, and analysis of program activities. Activities will also include developing or expanding existing activities in these areas or new areas as humanitarian emergencies emerge. In addition, the Humanitarian/Recovery Director will also support the design and implementation of recovery initiatives as they are developed for the South East and other border areas. The position is also responsible for key representation (as required) before host government representatives, donors, partner agencies, local institutions and the media.

Qualifications and experience
• Substantial overseas experience with international organizations (UN, bilateral agencies, NGOs)
• Proven track record in managing humanitarian responses (at least one year, managing combined emergency grants worth more than USD 2 million per response)
• Robust experience of NGO emergency programme cycle management, and with experience of working within a complex and matrix organisation structure
• Significant knowledge of international humanitarian systems, institutions and donors, and of procedures, accountability frameworks and best practices in emergency management
• Substantial experience and knowledge of effective financial and budgetary control and securing and managing grants (e.g. ECHO, OFDA, DIFD etc grants).
• Solid project management skills and proven history of delivering results.
• Proven history of leading international, multi-cultural and cross-functional teams
• Ability to analyze information, evaluate options and to think and plan strategically.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication and presentation skills.
• Fluency in written and spoken English.
• Ability and willingness to change work practices and hours, and work with incoming teams in the event of major emergencies
• Commitment to and understanding of Save the Children’s aims, values and principles including rights-based approaches
