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.
