South Africa-based Project Managers

We're hiring again. And, by the way, opening an office in Cape Town, South Africa (more on that to come). Interested in working with us? Read more and apply below.

Organizational Description

Global Integrity (http://www.globalintegrity.org) is one of the world's leading independent information providers on governance and corruption trends globally, generating original, bottom-up data and journalistic reporting through a network of more than 1,200 local experts in 120-plus countries. Its information on national-level anti-corruption systems is used regularly by aid donors (World Bank, UN, Inter-American Development Bank, Millennium Challenge Corporation), civil society advocates, and reformers within government to design and implement evidence-based governance reform strategies. The organization has won an Ashoka "Changemakers" award an ¡°Every Human Has Rights¡± award from The Elders and Internews; its methodology for assessing the existence and effectiveness of anti-corruption mechanisms is described by the World Bank as "best practice."

Global Integrity is known in particular for its expertise in developing quantitative indicators to assess the existence, effectiveness, and citizen access to accountability mechanisms at the national, sub-national, and sector levels. It also has significant experience working on sub-national accountability reforms under the auspices of its Local Integrity Initiative (see http://local.globalintegrity.org), and regularly blends qualitative journalistic reporting with its data gathering efforts. Across all of its fieldwork at the national, sub-national, and sector levels in more than 100 countries, the organization has designed, fielded, and published more than 80,000 quantitative indicators of accountability, transparency, and anti-corruption mechanisms.

Beginning in 2007, Global Integrity began to seek out opportunities to convene governments with our local research teams to discuss and debate the results of Global Integrity fieldwork in an attempt to stimulate consensus around next steps on the governance reform agenda in particular countries. That model, which we eventually dubbed our ¡°Global Integrity Dialogues,¡± has proved successful and more than a dozen highly-specific, intensive workshops have been carried out in countries as diverse as Brazil, Timor-Leste, and Rwanda.

Our focus on providing technology to bolster the capacity of like-minded groups is a key priority going forward. One of the reasons Global Integrity has been able to scale its work so efficiently without increasing overhead is our heavy reliance on (and investment in) a low-bandwidth web-based platform that allows researchers and reporters anywhere on the planet to collaborate on data gathering and reporting from anywhere they can find an internet connection. The third generation of our global fieldwork platform is currently being developed to allow external, third-party partners to use the system to design, execute, and publish their own governance and corruption assessments with little to no involvement by Global Integrity staff (see http://getindaba.org for details).

Job Description

Project Manager ¨C Global Integrity is embarking on a new five-year collaboration with the Mo Ibrahim Foundation to generate original data on a range of governance issues across all 54 African countries; that data will then feed into future iterations of the Ibrahim Index of African Governance, which helps to shape the debate on the continent around governance reform priorities. To support that fieldwork (which will formally begin later in 2011), Global Integrity is recruiting two experienced project managers based in South Africa to help recruit, coordinate, and manage a team of researchers across the continent.

With support from other colleagues in Global Integrity¡¯s Washington, DC office and the Global Integrity International Director (based in Durban, South Africa) these managers will lead the organization¡¯s collaborative fieldwork with the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, including (but not limited to): recruiting and managing field teams of researchers in 54 African countries; in conjunction with the International Director, developing new methodologies and indicators for gathering data to feed into the Ibrahim Index of African Governance; performing analysis and quality control over the resultant data; and designing and leading outreach and dissemination activities, including public workshops as well as capacity building and training activities with the research teams.

Like all colleagues at Global Integrity, this position will have the creative space to conceive of and lead new and innovative initiatives on a regular basis. While these positions (and our small newly-established Cape Town-based office itself) will initially be focused solely on Global Integrity¡¯s collaboration with the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, we hope to expand the local office¡¯s purview to other projects and initiatives in the future. We encourage good ideas and risk-taking.

Location: Cape Town, South Africa

Ideal Skill Set

Global Integrity attracts employees from the most distinctive professional and academic backgrounds. There is no cookie cutter ideal candidate for any position at Global Integrity. We are instead more interested in an individual¡¯s drive, professionalism, and entrepreneurial energy. For this particular position, the following factors will strengthen an applicant¡¯s candidacy:

¡ö 3-10 years of relevant project management experience working in public policy, international development, journalism, and/or international politics. Experience working on issues of governance and/or anti-corruption is helpful but not required.
¡öAt least a graduate degree in a relevant area of study, including, but not limited to, public policy, international relations, journalism, comparative politics, or development studies.
¡öDemonstrated experience in an entrepreneurial role, whether within an organization or as an independent social or private entrepreneur. Familiarity with an international non-profit environment is helpful but not required.
¡öComfort in a perpetual start-up environment requiring extensive ¡°self-starter¡± skills with minimal bureaucratic safety nets or backstopping.
¡öStrong writing and verbal communication skills: this means the ability to write a press release, policy summary, or op-ed with minimal guidance and the ability to speak comfortably to an expert audience or on camera. Experience with news reporting or blogging (on any topic) is helpful.
¡öProficiency in a widely spoken second language (French will be especially valued); working English is also required.
Our Culture

Our office environment (now spread between Washington, New York, Chicago, and Cape Town) requires openness, collaboration and flexibility. Our staff has an uncommon diversity of responsibilities: from high level strategy to online messaging to logistics issues (we book our own travel and fix our own computers), everyone contributes. You will develop new skills in this job; expect to learn and adapt constantly. We are very much a learning organization.

We have a ¡°no jerks¡± policy; you will be supported by results-oriented yet frequently cheerful coworkers whose primary mode of social engagement is based on trust and respect.

International literacy and cross-cultural sensitivity are considered core competencies.

Compensation

For these positions, Global Integrity will provide a total cost to company package (no fringe benefits), The salary will be dependent on a candidate¡¯s experience and demonstrated skills, and we anticipate a final compensation package ranging between R250,000 and R350,000 depending on the candidate.

For the past 50 years Amnesty International (AI) has brought people together to fight for human rights. We've lobbied, protested and mobilised all over the world for human rights impact. And in this process, we've grown hugely. You will lead our International Mobilisation Programme to continue that growth, especially in the Global South, while supporting a positive change to millions of lives.

About the role
After an initial period in London, you'll be based in one of our offices in the Global South - focusing your energies on increasing our influence both in countries where we already have national entities, as well as in countries where we are not represented on the ground. Your work will centre on ways to build and improve our capacity to have a positive impact for human rights. You'll do that by creating strong programme-wide operational plans, driving and overseeing different teams all over the world for effective delivery under the authority of the Secretary General.

It will be your responsibility to make sure that these teams work together, to support in-country managers and AI entities to generate major influence for human rights. You can, therefore, expect to manage budgets while dealing with competing demands and to give strategic and political advice while overseeing staff performance. You will help AI go from strength to strength by mobilising more people in countries through new, diverse and sustainable forms of presence.

About you
Dynamic, results-driven and an expert in movement development, mobilisation and the analysis of civil society, you are an experienced leader and team player with a proven ability to develop and implement innovative strategies, plans and processes at the local and global level. Passionate about human rights you will understand the effects of social change and have experience of organisational development, governance and structures in a NGO setting. So you'll know all about managing global operations, allocating resources strategically and the remote management of staff in multi-cultural, multi-lingual environments. For this purpose, you are a good communicator and adept at conflict management.

About us
Our aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, fairness, freedom and truth wherever they're denied. Already our network of almost three million members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries. And whether we're applying pressure through powerful research or direct lobbying, mass demonstrations or online campaigning, we're all inspired by hope for a better world, one where human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere.
