• Reviewing project compliance with FZS policies, culture, and standard operating procedures.
Facilitating the draft and implementation of internal best practices for the consistent application of management practices in the context of conservation projects and soliciting input from across the organization.
Developing systems to facilitate good management disciplines and systems to track performance.
Coordinating the enhancement, drafting, and implementation of annual risk assessments of the site-based projects within the Africa portfolio and ensuring that any risks are communicated upward where appropriate.
Improving and managing FZS Africa’s internal communications systems.
Ensuring that senior members of the Africa team staff have the operational support needed to effectively perform their roles.
Supporting project managers and landscape leaders to use the appropriate project management systems and tools.

Your Profile

Strong facilitation, organization and planning skills
Outstanding interpersonal skills, including the ability to build coalitions, negotiate, and manage conflict situations
Willingness and ability to travel (up to 30% of the time), sometimes to remote and physically challenging locations

We Offer
• The position offers an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the implementation of the FZS Global Strategy and its agenda for growth over this decade.
Focus on strengthening and de-risking systems within the organisation, particularly the Africa Department, thus making a difference and improving efficiency within programmes
Part of a small team at the departmental level, supporting the landscape managers in currently nine programmes in six countries (DRC, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe)
