The Chief of Party is responsible for the overall project management, supervision, administration, and implementation of the FSTIP program. S/he will establish and maintain systems for project operations; ensure that all agreement deadlines are implemented, and targets are achieved; coordinate and maintain working relationships with project stakeholders (including the Government and private industry stakeholders, subgrantees and/or subcontractors); lead collaborative initiatives with private-public sector companies; and oversee the preparation and submission of technical and financial reports.

  • Hire and supervise local project staff and annually evaluate their performance. 
  • Represent the project and Winrock to donors, local and national government entities, the media, local NGOs, and the business community. 
  • Other duties as assigned. 

Qualifications:

  • Minimum of ten years of anti-trafficking and/or safe migration experience, ideally as Chief of Party or Project Director. 
  • Strong management skills as well as salient experience implementing anti-trafficking programs in the Asia region, preferably in Bangladesh or South Asia. 
  • Specific experience and specialization in at least one of the following is required: trafficking-in-persons, labour migration, legal reform and policy advocacy, survivor-driven service delivery, and protection referral mechanisms, private sector partnerships, and/or monitoring & evaluation (of trafficking in persons programs). 
  • Experience in strategic planning and implementation of strategic plans. 
  • Experience designing and implementing or overseeing monitoring and evaluation systems. 
  • Significant USAID project management experience and leadership is highly desired. 
  • Demonstrated experience in financial management and oversight, ensuring implementation remains within scope, time, and budget. 
  • Demonstrated interpersonal skills and able to work in a multi-cultural-lingual environment, work under time constrictive deadlines and utilize creative problem solving and ethical management skills. 
  • Proficiency in English required. 
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills. 
  • Computer literate in word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software (Microsoft). 
  • All employees should adhere to USAID and Winrock International’s code of conduct, ethics, and gender and social inclusion guidelines, as well as specifically child safeguarding and trafficking in persons provisions covered in the project agreement.
