    Monitor and enforce donor compliance.
    Oversee regional projects.


    Contributions:
    Manage all internal and external reporting, ensuring high-quality, well-written, timely reports meeting donor and Search requirements. This involves collaborating with program officers and Country Program Managers to provide relevant stakeholders review drafts before submission.

    Liaise with donors and implementing partners regarding program implementation and compliance, serving as a key point of contact for Search.

    Provide technical support and deploy to country offices as needed.
    Orient staff from all departments to donor requirements and ensure compliance across Search departments and country offices.
    Oversee the selection process and due diligence of potential subaward partners.
    Analyze potential risks related to program implementation and propose mitigation strategies.
    Directly oversee compliance of a strategic portfolio of grants, collaborating with regional and country teams.
    Conduct first-level technical reviews of agreements to ensure alignment with internal policies and realistic deliverables.
    Monitor program implementation and budget variance analysis to ensure objectives are met.
    Participate in reflection sessions and facilitate technical assistance as needed.
    Provide program-related capacity building for conflict geography teams.
    Support review of strategic proposals, budgets, and donor agreements.
    Coordinate with DME coordinators and Institutional Learning to incorporate lessons learned into program reports and action plans.
    Support HR in interviewing and evaluating technical aspects of Programs roles.
    Contribute to a community of best practices to standardize tools and inform program implementation.
    Oversee project amendments and budget realignment in collaboration with program managers.
    Support the development of country-specific OKRs and conflict geography strategy iteration.
