The role
An Implementing Affiliate under Oxfam’s new single
management structure, you’ll support the delivery of the Joint Country Analysis
and Strategy and lead teams in the roll out of development initiatives on the
ground. It’s crucial that we maintain a consistent and integrated approach in
our efforts across Tanzania. Something you’ll keep in mind as you take charge
of operational and people management; mobilising your team in the delivery of
agreed priorities and plans, seeing to it that we’re utilising our resources
and identifying opportunities to build on our capacity. But your success will
hinge as much on the partnerships you develop as the operational work involved.
So building relationships with key political figures, managing vital donor
contracts and partnering with private sector and other NGOs, and civil society
platforms, you’ll create strong links and establish Oxfam as an influential
agency – helping to make a real difference to a country in need of our support.
You will demonstrate a strong track record in integrating gender at all levels
of analysis and programme delivery.

What we’re looking for
To deliver in a role of such importance calls for
extensive experience of driving programme development and change management,
both in a humanitarian and development context. So you’ll know all about
building donor and partner relationships and leading and motivating teams. And
from a practical standpoint, you’ll be confident overseeing complex budgets.
More than that, economic justice, social justice and advocacy skills are
essential, as is the ability to think politically, analytically and
strategically in challenging situations. But just as importantly, you’ll have
the credibility, the drive and the passion to positively represent Oxfam at all
levels.
