Technical Director, Democratic Republic of Congo, AMFD, Field Programs
The Technical Director is a professional position in which the candidate will be expected to make decisions on the technical aspects of CI-DRC’s work. The job requires a large amount of creativity and independence as well as a sense of innovation to achieve conservation outcomes in a complex political and socio-economic context. This is a field based position that requires great cultural sensitivity and excellent interpersonal and inspirational leadership skills. CI-DRC’s Technical Director is responsible for overseeing the technical component of the program’s portfolio of projects implemented in the DRC, including procuring financial and technical resources and ensuring proper monitoring and evaluation of all projects. The Technical Director has a key role in ensuring that all projects (including grant responsibilities, e.g., USAID) undertaken and supported by CI and its partners are technically well integrated and managed appropriately to contribute to organizational goals and achieve CI’s mission and vision. The Technical Director serves as “Landscape Leader” and key personnel under CI’s cooperative agreement with USAID’s CARPE program in Congo Basin Forest Partnership Landscape 10 (Maiko Tayna Kahuzi-Biega). In this role, the technical director has well defined responsibilities such as coordinating the consortium of partners, ensuring accomplishment of the consortium’s objectives, ensuring on-time delivery of the work plan’s activities and timely reporting on semi- and annual basis. The Technical Director provides technical input on other programmatic matters to the Country Director and the Projects Directors as well. For the former, the Technical Director provides support for national and regional level interventions, for example in assisting the Country Director in promoting policies (e.g., REDD) that incorporate the value of nature’s assets into the development process, and helping governments and civil society enact such policies. For the latter, the Technical Director focuses on local level interventions, and provides guidance to leaders of projects focused on landscape scale conservation and REDD demonstration. The Technical Director also ensures that the program is well connected to CI headquarters-based technical Divisions, plays a key role in strengthening a complex network of existing partnerships with government, the private sector and civil society, and works in concert with the Country Director on expanding that network.
