Third Sector Partners, a leading CxO and board search firm in the Not for Profit sector, has been retained by Mercy Corps to hire its Executive Director, India.
Mercy Corps is seeking a bold, action-oriented, and creative leader with a passion for social entrepreneurship to be its Executive Director (ED) for Mercy Corps India (MCI). MCI is a member of the global Mercy Corps family, but is registered as an independent Section 25 company with a separate Board of Directors. The ED must therefore be a shrewd navigator, able to steer our country presence along a truly “local to global” axis as an independent entity, while at the same time maintaining close links to the ethos and administrative structures of the parent company, Mercy Corps.
The ED is the most senior manager within the MCI structure, responsible for setting strategy and vision, overseeing program operations and management, managing and mentoring MCI teams, mobilizing financial resources (fund raising), and representing MCI with key internal and external stakeholders.
Job functions:
- In consultation with program directors in specific Indian states, the RPD, and the board of directors, lead overall MCI strategy, planning, budgeting, programming and management
- Lead the preparation of an annual MCI strategic plan and budget for program operations and oversee the administration of the plan/budget throughout the fiscal year
- Support and oversee the management of state or sub-regional level strategic planning, development, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and administration of humanitarian assistance and development programs. Ensure program innovations and successes are effectively publicized internally and externally
Eligibility:
- A minimum of 12-15 years of total professional experience preferably in the development sector including relevant experience in program management, supervision and monitoring with enough strategic experience in a leadership role where S/he was responsible for organization building, human resource development & financial management functions
- Experience of developing strong business/organisational processes especially in a start up (finance, operations, security) to improve program quality
- Strong relationship management and stakeholder management skills, in the not-for-profit context experience of partnership with government and civil society organisations
- Comprehensive knowledge, analysis and understanding about issues related to poverty, exclusion and injustice
