The Opportunity

• Plan International are embarking on an ambitious and exciting change process as part of our global strategy All Girls Standing Strong Creating Global Change (FY23-FY27) to ensure that we are relevant, bold, engaging and effective in a dynamic and fast-changing global context.
• We have an exciting opportunity for a Regional Director to lead Plan International’s strategies, programmes and operations in the Middle Eastern, Eastern and Southern Africa region. The region currently includes 15 Country Offices, organised by clusters to ensure balance in complexity and distribution of work to facilitate effective management oversight and support, and a Regional Hub, based in Nairobi, Kenya and has an annual budget of €220m. It is the responsibility of the Country Offices to implement the whole mission of Plan International in their respective countries and the Africa Union Liaison Office. The Regional Director has overall responsibility for the portfolio in the region and plays a significant role in driving changes to this footprint. Line management of the country directors is divided between two sub-regional directors.
• The Regional Hub oversees the realisation of Plan International’s country facing programming and influencing activities in the Region and holds business units to account for achieving maximum and timely impact in accordance with our purpose, values and behaviours, global policies, and as directed by the Members Assembly and International Board.
