Save the Children

For over 100 years, Save the Children has been fighting for the rights of children. The right to a healthy start in life. To have access to education. To be in a safe environment, protected from harm. We work in some of the world’s hardest-to-reach places – over 100 countries, including the U.S. No matter what your role is, when you join Save the Children, you’re creating positive, irreversible change for children, and the future we all share.

The Role

The Project Manager (PM) for Asistans, Nitrisyon, Kominote, Agrikilti, Dwa Timoun, Rezilyans, Ekonomi Lokal (ANKADRE) is responsible for coordinating and supporting the administrative, programmatic, technical and operational aspects of the DOS-funded ANKADRE award in Haiti, received as a subaward from CRS. The PM works under the guidance of the Lead Advisor, PHFFA to support effective project delivery.

This includes day-to-day program management, budget monitoring and tracking, timely delivery of activities, and quality donor reporting, while maintaining the highest standards of program quality, accountability, and safeguarding.

As the PM, you will support compliance with established monitoring and evaluation systems, work plans, and technical program quality standards, in accordance with donor and GoH requirements, and escalate significant risks or issues to your supervisor. You will develop and maintain strong working relationships with local government and implementing partners, coordinate vendor relationships, and monitor work orders covering fleet management, incident management, and other contracted services to support operational continuity.

In the event of a major humanitarian emergency or security incident, you will be expected to work outside the normal role profile and vary working hours accordingly.
