Background: the Fred Hollows Foundation is one of Australia’s leading international development NGOs and specialises in blindness prevention and Australian indigenous health. The Foundation’s expanding international programmes reach across the Asia/Pacific region and parts of Africa. During 2010 the Foundation with its local partners performed 1.3 million eye screenings, delivered 194,903 eye operations and treatments, trained nearly 13,000 medical and support staff, and provided A$3.5m worth of specialist equipment.
The Job: The Director of Global Programmes provides leadership for the international programme team and has overall management responsibility for around 110 staff members. The Director of Global Programmes reports to the Foundation’s CEO and is a member of the senior management team.
The Director of Global Programmes will be a highly experienced international programme manager with professional experience of many of the regions where the Foundation and its partners work. Although the Foundation’s international work is in eye health, candidates with experience of the wider international public health sector would be welcome, as would more generalist development programme managers. Significant experience of working with international aid donors (AusAID, USAID, DFID etc), designing, submitting and managing aid funded programmes is essential.
Candidates will have robust but flexible interpersonal and cross-cultural leadership skills, and strong track records of delivering clear and measurable results. They are likely to have held senior programme management roles with international NGOs and/or other international development agencies.
