Dear Forum members,

A BIT ABOUT THE POSITION:

We’re looking for a values‑driven leader… someone who believes commercial business approaches can generate lasting social good. We are looking for a leader who can lead an existing high level technical and operations team to deliver results in two large and cutting edge sanitation projects in Bihar, India. These projects funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are the largest and most ambitious sanitation grants for PSI globally and hence command huge significance within the global organization. We expect the leader to be a catalyst for initiating similar sanitation projects across India and contribute as a key member of the global sanitation team. If this sounds like your cup of tea, read on!

YOU WILL

• Oversee the implementation of two ambitious and innovative sanitation projects focused on social marketing, social franchising and market development approaches
• Provide effective guidance, mentorship and support to the in‑country management technical and management teams
• Create innovative and nimble methods to test‑market and scale new products and services
• Strengthen supply chain and financing approaches to cost‑effectively harmonise upstream supply with downstream demand
• Increase the degree of our data‑driven decision making resulting in better consumer and market insight, as well as enhanced use of routine monitoring data
• Influence the context in which PSI works in sanitation through representation at relevant technical working groups, conferences, workshops, and policy‑oriented forums using appropriate media
• Develop and implement processes and materials for sharing lessons learned about tools, approaches and models, so that these lessons can be used in future sanitation programs both in India and overseas
• Forge relationships and manage sub‑contract development and negotiations; coordinate partner activities and monitor performance against agreed deliverables in sub contracts
