Company Plan International

The Organisation

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation
that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.

We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often
suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls
who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we
strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing
girls and all vulnerable children.

We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we
enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We
drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels
using our reach, experience and knowledge.

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years,
and are now active in more than 70 countries.

The Opportunity

As the Emergency Response Manager ERM, you will oversee Plan International’s
response to the refugee crisis within Tanzania. You will manage a team of 90
national and international staff members working across three refugee camps in
the Kigoma region. You will be responsible for the quality and effectiveness
of Plan’s emergency response and will be accountable for developing,
coordinating and managing all emergency activities in the Kigoma region.

In this role you will work in close collaboration with stakeholders in refugee
operations and the host community. This will include UN agencies,
international NGOs and district/regional government authorities. You will also
pro-actively network to build external relations and lead fundraising efforts
to build up a portfolio of grants to finance a multi-year response plan in
close coordination with the Business Development Unit.

The Individual

We are looking to recruit a resilient and trustworthy individual who has
proven relevant humanitarian aid experience in complex and natural disasters.
You will have a high level of expertise in representation and negotiation with
governments and donors and have demonstrable managerial experience, including
the ability to manage multi-million dollar budgets. You will also have
knowledge of programme design, proposal development, general finance,
administration, information management and telecommunication skills and
proficiency in information technology/ computer skills.

To be successful in this role you will be able to operate effectively under
extreme circumstances including stress, high security risks and harsh living
conditions and you will have the ability to work in diverse cultural contexts
in a culturally appropriate manner. You will be an organised individual who
has a capacity for initiative and decision making with competent analytical
and problem-solving skills.
