Country Director – Senegal and the Sahel
Do
you strive to level the playing field so that everyone can live to
their full potential? Do you go beyond simply working and make every
effort so that you improve the lives of others? Does breaking down
inequalities drive you to work harder and smarter? The Micronutrient
Initiative is a leading organization in Senegal and the Sahel working to

someone who shares our organizational culture of delivering high-impact
and cost-effective programs that will have a lasting effect for
generations. As the director of several countries in the Sahel in an
environment of opportunity and growth, the Country Director will work to
build on the excellent partnerships we have with the public and private
sectors and civil society organizations throughout the region.
Strong
management skills will help the team excel in the areas of policy,
planning, program assessment, financial management, external relations
and donor stewardship and reporting. We seek someone who will lead by
example to foster an entrepreneurial culture of ingenuity and innovation
so that we bring together the best of our efforts for lasting results.
Qualifications could include:
- At least 10 years’ experience in management of public health or a related field essential, including managing finances and human resources, in progressively more responsible levels;
- At least 5 years’ experience in program management;
- At least 5 years’ experience in strategy formulation and planning;
