  • Manage and implement a complex, multi-country programme
  • Develop and maintain mutually accountable, trust-based relationships with local peacebuilding actors. This will require working proficiency in French as well as English.
  • Contribute to the design and development of new work in support of transforming the peacebuilding system in four focus countries
  • Oversee internal and external coordination of Peace Direct’s programmes and partnerships work 
  • Line manage a Senior Programmes Officer, and support the work of up to four Local Peacebuilding Advisors
