FHI 360 is currently recruiting for the position of Chief of Party (COP), for an anticipated USAID-funded Indonesia Civil Society Initiatives Support program. This program will empower civil society to strengthen democratic governance in Indonesia. It will focus on civil society at the local level (district level and below), where state ideology, public service delivery, and associational life often mix in unpredictable ways.
The COP will be responsible for providing overall vision, leadership and guidance for the project. S/he will service as the project’s main point of contact for grant recipients, Government of Indonesia (GOI) institutions, USAID/Indonesia, and other civil society stakeholders. The COP will be responsible for overall project management and technical operations and ensure that project tasks are completed on time and the project objectives are successfully met. FHI 360 anticipates that the Chief of Party will be based in Jakarta but with project-funded travel to other parts of Indonesia. This position is contingent on project funding.
The ideal candidate will have experience working with Indonesian civil society organizations and have deep experience overseeing organizational capacity development activities as well as knowledge of best practices in advocacy and stakeholder engagement. S/he will also be familiar with innovative approaches to organizational sustainability including social enterprise development and public fundraising.
