Technical Services
Senior Coordinator

Requisition Number 16-0010
Post Date 2/1/2016
City Yangon

Description At the heart of Pact is the promise of a better tomorrow. The promise of a healthy life. Of dignified living. Of sustainable natural resources that benefit communities. Now more than ever in its 42-year history, Pact is helping millions of people who are poor and marginalized discover and build their own solutions and take ownership over their future.

Pact enables systemic solutions that allow those who are poor and marginalized to earn a dignified living, be healthy, and take part in the benefits that nature provides. Pact accomplishes this by strengthening local capacity, forging effective governance systems, and transforming markets into a force for development.

Pact Myanmar is one of the largest of Pact’s global programs, and one of most diverse integrated development operations in Myanmar. Pact Myanmar delivers high quality local community-owned local governance, health, livelihoods and natural resource management programs that impact the lives of almost 5 million individuals across 35 townships and almost 4,000 rural communities. With community governance and financial independence at the core of our approach, and supported by a diverse range of bilateral and private donors, we focus on local ownership; long-term sustainability; a long-term approach to community and institutional capacity development; and the power of markets to help lift people out of poverty. In addition, Pact also operates Myanmar’s largest micro-finance fund, which has more than 600,000 active customers across the country. Pact employs a total of 3,100 Myanmar nationals working through 80 offices around the country.

Position Purpose:

The Technical Services Senior Coordinator is a new and highly strategic position that will lie at the heart of Pact Myanmar’s continuing work to bring high quality, evidence-based programming to millions of Myanmar citizens. This work is expected to grow and expand as investments in Myanmar gain pace in the coming years. The successful candidate will be based in Yangon and will report directly to our Programs Director (who also fulfills a Deputy Chief of Party role), and will be a member of the Pact Myanmar Senior Management team. Depending on the caliber and performance of the successful candidate, it is anticipated that this position will transition into the combined Program Director/Deputy Chief of Party position as we go through routine staff turnover in 2017. While the transition timeline is not guaranteed, Pact Myanmar senior leadership will be seeking individuals that are appropriately qualified for this possible transition.

The Technical Services Senior Coordinator will support our extensive Integrated Program supported by multiple donors, to help grow our existing programs, and help us expand our technical representation with and to the new government of Myanmar; and help us expand into new geographic areas in the coming years. S/he will play a critical role in day-to-day management of the technical department, ensuring cross-cutting program quality throughout our programs and coordinating technical models between numerous local and international partners. This will include high-level technical support to Program and Technical Coordinators running our national programs in health, livelihoods, natural resource management and local governance. This will also require working very closely with Pact Myanmar’s Monitoring and Evaluation team, Civil Society Engagement teams, and relevant field staff in multiple locations. Regular travel to the field, including the capital in Nay Pyi Taw, will be required.

The Technical Services Senior Coordinator will also be responsible for supporting our regional program teams to launch new projects and will also be expected to support new business initiatives including technical and budgeting proposal support. Since we work with a great number of partners in the public and private sectors, we are looking for a candidate with exceptional technical, administrative and diplomatic skills to help us represent Pact at senior levels, and forge new programs, partnerships in the future.
