| Position Announcement: Regional Project Office Director Urban Institute The Urban Institute (UI), a non-profit organization founded in 1968, is seeking applications for the position of Regional Project Office Director for the upcoming USAID Kinerja project. UI was established to investigate social and economic problems confronting the US and the government policies and programs designed to alleviate them. Over the last 25 years, UI has expanded its role to address analogous problems in developing countries. UI's international work has focused on decentralization and local government capacity building, structured around four outcomes: (1) creation of a clearer legal and regulatory framework for local government rights and responsibilities through a consensus-oriented dialogue among central government, local government, and public stakeholders; (2) improved financial management and greater transparency in local government budgeting and expenditure; (3) more cost-effective and responsive delivery of services by local governments; and (4) greater interaction and more effective communication between local government (both elected officials and civil servants) and citizens about community priorities and the reality of the constraints under which local governments operate. Position Responsibilities: The Regional Project Office Director will report directly to the Chief of Party. Responsibilities are as follows: · Provide technical direction and management to the local project staff. · Ensure delivery of technical program according to work plan and implementation strategy. · Ensure achievement of local objectives, including reporting. · Supervise local project staff. · Provide administrative and technical support for regional teams.
Qualifications: · Expertise in local government management preferred. · Experience in the implementation of USAID projects, or other donor projects in Indonesia. · Experience in Aceh, East Java or South Sulawesi preferred. · Strong interpersonal, team-building and communication skills. · Strong English writing and speaking skills.
Interested applicants are requested to send a cover letter, resume, and list of three references (references will not be contacted prior to interview) to indokinerja@gmail.com as soon as possible but no later than February 10, 2010. Only the strongest candidates will be contacted. No telephone inquiries, please. The Urban Institute is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
