Here’s where you come in:

World Vision seeks a Project Manager (PM) to lead a climate resilience project implemented in two counties in Northern Bahr el Ghazal State in South Sudan. This project will build long-term climate resilience among agro-pastoral communities using participatory watershed-based approaches that restore ecosystems. It will re-establish and strengthen market linkages and agricultural value chains and equip extension agencies to support communities in adopting gender-responsive, climate-smart agricultural practices and diversifying livelihoods using hands-on, farmer-field-based approaches. Climate change will be mainstreamed into management plans and programmes in agriculture and NRM and proactive collaboration and knowledge sharing will build synergies with other relevant initiatives. As Project Manager you will provide oversight of implementation, quality and technical strategies for all project objectives and outputs. You will ensure accurate implementation according to set minimum standards and in alignment with the approved proposal/ contracting measures and donor regulation, ensuring all activities are implemented in time and according to budgets and detailed implementation plan (DIP). You will closely collaborate with the project’s sectoral managers and finance staff along the project cycle ensuring everyone receives necessary management support and direction to deliver tasks as planned.

Requirements include:

• Minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree in a humanitarian or development-related field. Master’s Degree in a relevant field is preferred.
• Technical expertise in water-shed or ecosystem approaches, climate-smart water infrastructure and/or agriculture, or another field relevant to the project themes.
• At least 3-5 years of proven ability in the management of large integrated projects in fragile contexts.
• Ability to master and implement donor regulations; experience with GEF/UNDP is a plus, experience with other bilateral donors such as USAID, GAC, FCDO, and others will also be considered favourably.
