Roving Country Director
As a member of the Middle East Regional Team, you will be home-based with availability to deploy at short notice to any of RI’s countries in the region, including remote and insecure locations, according to RI strategic priorities. The majority of deployment assignments will be for a Country Director role to fill gap in coverage (ie, between CD-ships, maternity leave, extended medical leave, etc). While priority will be as gap-filling for Country Director role, other leadership roles may also be filled as needed, including but not limited to: Deputy Country Director, Program Director, Program Manager, etc. Gap filling at regional level and/or leadership in the start- up of new country missions and/or large-scale projects will also be required if needed. The Roving Country Director is a strategic role in ensuring continuity in management, mobilization and effective scale up and quality of RI programs in the region. The Roving Country Director will be part of the regional team and participate in internal coordination meetings and other region-driven initiatives as relevant when not on deployment assignment. It is anticipated that this position will be deployed up to 80% of the year. *Note: in case of multiple CD vacancies in RI’s other region (Africa/Asia), the Roving Country Director may be requested exceptionally to gap-fill for a post in RI’s Africa/Asia region.
