CARE Canada is currently seeking a Program Manager – Humanitarian Assistance, Middle East and Asia.
The Humanitarian Assistance and Emergency Team currently manages a programming portfolio of $25 – 30 million CAD annually. This is comprised of funding from Global Affairs Canada, various UN Agencies, including UNCHR, WFP, FAO and UNICEF and the Humanitarian Coalition. Under the leadership of the Senior Manager – Humanitarian Assistance, the Program Manager (PM) is responsible for managing CARE Canada’s Global Affairs Canada (GAC) funded programs in Middle East and Asia. This portfolio will consist with a mix of humanitarian and transitional programming. In terms of GAC funded programming, the PM is responsible for the day-to-day project management as well as donor relations and engagement. The PM is accountable for the successful completion of their projects, high quality implementation and timely completion of programming. The PM will be also responsible for critical engagement, advocacy and engagement with our key donors.
Because of the nature of the work, demands are fast-paced and unpredictable. This position requires an individual who is very flexible, provides expertise and leadership and who works well within a team. A strong understanding and practical experience integrating gender equality in humanitarian interventions is required as well as any additional technical skillsets (such as food security, shelter, and/or WASH). The PM must also have an understanding of the humanitarian architecture and relevant policies.
