ZOA has had a presence in Liberia for the past 2 years. Initially ZOA’s response was to assist the thousands of homeless people displaced by the civil war with emergency aid. ZOA is now running a longer term programme with a focus on rehabilitation and an emphasis on food security, peace initiatives and education. The programme has approximately 50 staff and an annual budget of 2 000 000. This posting is in Monrovia, and can include an accompanying spouse but no children.
Candidates for this challenging senior position must be graduates preferably with a postgraduate qualification in management or a related development field. They must also have substantial management experience in an international setting within a development context. Experience in emergency assistance and/or rural development and some exposure to security management is also desirable. This senior management position will attract leaders who are flexible and adaptable with interpersonal and cross cultural sensitivity and the ability to work under pressure in a sometimes fluid environment.
