Programme Manager, Public Sector Integrity
The Transparency International Secretariat (TI-S) in Berlin is seeking a highly motivated professional for the position of Programme Manager, Public Sector Integrity.
Transparency International (TI) is the global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption. Through more than 90 chapters worldwide and an international secretariat in Berlin, Germany, TI raises awareness of the damaging effects of corruption and works with partners in government, business and civil society to develop and implement effective measures to tackle it.
The Programme Manager, Public Sector Integrity, will be managing TI’s Public Sector Integrity Programme, which will be based in the Research & Knowledge Group at the TI-Secretariat.The programme seeks to develop and scale-up evidence-based advocacy initiatives in key areas of public integrity, such as local governance, political financing, the judiciary and procurement. TI’s Public Sector Integrity Programme, which is currently in its inception phase, is one of six key programmes which form the cornerstone of the organisation’s implementation of its Strategy 2015.
In recognition of the vast knowledge and experience on public integrity issues, accumulated by the TI movement and the entire anti-corruption community over the last decade, the Public Sector Integrity Programme will build upon existing promising practices on civil society’s approaches to enhancing the integrity of the public sector. It will seek to strategically apply such promising anti-corruption tools and solutions – and, where needed, expand the overall repertoire of approaches – to identified priority areas.
TI is looking for an innovative programme manager to take the lead on the continued design and roll-out of the programme. In addition to overall project management responsibilities, the programme manager will also provide technical assistance to multi-country projects that include public integrity research and/or advocacy, with thematic areas ranging from corruption risk assessments in grant management, climate governance, and access to information to procurement.
