• contribute to the global leadership of WaterAid by providing strategic direction and guidance to the Pan-Africa Programme.
• influence key stakeholders by showing them the impact safe water and improved sanitation and hygiene can have on the poorest and most excluded communities in Africa.
• ensure strategies and plans link programming practice and policy to maximise our impact, by drawing upon country and regional evidence, and by fostering strong collaboration amongst WaterAid Africa regions.

To be successful, you’ll need to have

• proven experience of working at a senior level in development in Africa, with strategic leadership and management responsibilities.
• substantial knowledge and a successful track record of influencing pan-African institutions, such as the AUC, AfDB, ACHPR and other relevant institutions that affect WASH and development in Africa.
