Saferworld is an independent international organisation that works to prevent and reduce violent conflict and promote co-operative approaches to security. Established in 1989, we work with civil society, international organisations and governments to encourage and support effective policies and practices through advocacy, research and policy development and through supporting the actions of others.
This position has exciting possibilities for a candidate committed to working with partners on conflict transformation and building peace; has experience of being able to explore connections and work creatively with others; and is ready to meet new challenges and seek solutions that are original and fresh. Saferworld has worked on Sudan peacebuilding issues over the years and while currently we don’t have a permanent in-country presence, we are engaging in developing analysis and advocacy on conflict and security issues such as the SDGs and Goal 16 through a range of partners.
The Country Manager will be responsible for further developing Saferworld’s programme for Sudan – establishing and deepening strategic partnership with national and international actors working towards a peaceful Sudan and facilitating creative ways to support positive conflict prevention initiatives. The post holder will provide overall project management for current and future initiatives – managing and monitoring programme delivery, attracting appropriate resources, and ensuring financial oversight.
The successful candidate will be a knowledgeable manager with significant proven experience at a senior level managing multi-thematic programmes in development and/or peacebuilding/conflict prevention. Extensive experience in leading, mentoring, and developing teams of staff with different backgrounds is a key element of this role as well as leading on effective and values-based partnership work between local organisations and communities.
