Program Manager
Prospectus is supporting an independent foundation seeking a Program Manager to support Senior Program Directors and the organisations governments partners in their efforts to deliver transformational, cross sectoral initiatives in sub-Saharan Africa.

Program Managers review and develop program-related materials that drive strategic priorities; monitor program achievement progress; manage local consultants and technical assistance providers; provide financial and workplan oversight of grants; track and document results across programs.

The foundation does not implement its own ‘projects’: they work directly with inspiring government leaders to deliver on their goals for their people, and the Program Manager will be expected to interface in a respectful, savvy, and non-prescriptive manner with government colleagues, while simultaneously providing the honest feedback of a true partner.

Candidate Profile

• Experience in managing complex and large-scale program implementation, ideally in sub-Saharan African countries.
• Good understanding of how governmental departments work, ideally with direct experience working with governments particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
• Substantial, relevant expertise in health, nutrition, job creation, urban development or education, ideally in sub-Saharan Africa. This will include familiarity with evidence, key actors, and proven interventions in a broad range of human development areas.
• Experience in the use of program management tools such as dashboard creation, program monitoring and strategic planning.
• Demonstration of methodical program oversight and management.
• Team player with excellent people skills and with highly developed communication, presentation, negotiation and influencing skills.
