Business manager

We’re currently looking for experienced management professionals to work with organisations in poor communities.

Roles are generally longer term, ranging from one to two years.

For most roles, you’ll need at least four years’ senior management experience, as well as a relevant degree. Our partners are looking for people with skills and experience in areas like partnership development and networking, change management, people management, strategic planning, organisational development, financial management and stakeholder engagement.

Additional experience in areas like fundraising, advocacy, governance, monitoring and evaluation, or coaching and training others is highly desirable, as is the ability to speak French. Experience of working with small non-governmental organisations, or grass-roots organisations with limited resources would also be advantageous.

What you’ll be doing

Placements vary according to our partners’ requirements. You could be helping community organisations become stronger and more effective. You might work with local governments, helping them set up systems to serve their populations better. Or you could be advising small businesses to become more productive and sustainable.

You could be working in countries such as Uganda, Cambodia and Malawi.
