Executive Director Jobs

 Executive Director: Alliance South Sudan

Competitive salary and benefits package

Based in Juba, South Sudan

The International HIV/AIDS Alliance supports community action on HIV, health and human rights to end AIDS. Our vision is a world in which communities have brought an end to HIV transmission, and secured their health and human rights.

Since 1994, the Alliance and its partners have supported over 3,000 projects, in over 40 countries, reaching millions of people.

The Alliance’s Linking Organisation model emphasises local leadership and governance of organisations. In light of this, the Alliance seeks to recruit an Executive Director (ED) to head its operations in South Sudan.

The Executive Director’s overall responsibilities will be strategic leadership, development and effective operation of Alliance South Sudan.

The ED’s primary focus in the initial stages of this assignment will be to lead the transition of the South Sudan Country Office into an independent Linking Organisation which will be nationally led, with a locally recruited Board of Directors.

S/he will report initially to the Regional Manager: East and Southern Africa at the Alliance Secretariat in Brighton, UK and after the transition will report directly to the Board of Directors.

The ED will manage senior staff, provide leadership on policy matters and strategy development, resource mobilisation, partnership development and will advocate on key HIV issues at national and international levels with stakeholders.

The successful candidate will have a post-graduate management or development qualification, along with extensive knowledge of the political and economic context in South Sudan.
