Job Description
24 month contract offered on international terms & conditionsThe BBC World Service Trust (WST) is the independent international charity of the BBC which uses media to advance development worldwide. As part of one of the world’s leading media organisations, we are committed to improving the quality of people’s lives in developing and transitional countries through our innovative use of media. We do this through our focus on health, governance, livelihoods, climate change and humanitarian response. We work in partnerships that include governments, broadcasters, civil society institutions, donor agencies and international Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs). As Country Director based in Addis Ababa, you’ll assume overall management of staff, funding and proposals which enable us to deliver innovative new and existing projects in Ethiopia.
Requirements
We need your substantial management experience which you’ll have ideally gained in a media and/or international development setting. So, you’ll have a proven record of developing and securing funding for large, complex international development or media projects. You’ll couple this with your ability to deliver these projects on time and within financial constraints. Therefore, you’ll bring significant budget management experience which includes financial management of budgets not less than £250k, alongside fund raising, and donor liaison and reporting. You’ll also show a strong understanding of using the media for development goals, in addition to knowledge of the media context in East Africa.
