We’ve been in Tanzania for the last twenty years, growing, changing and responding to the most urgent issues facing young Tanzanians. Directly reaching over 110,000 young people across 14 regions each year, it is our young volunteers and youth led networks that lead and deliver transformative change. Our work and methodologies have been cited best practice by the World Bank1 and UNICEF and, this year, we are the winner of the 2014 Resolve Award from the Global Leaders Council for Health.

Our next Head of Restless Development (Tanzania) will build on a successful legacy to ensure the highest standards in performance and accountability are achieved across the agency. Based in our Head Office in Iringa (with regular travel to Dar and other operational locations), you will ensure our team of 40+ staff across 4 locations is delivering to the highest operational standards as are required by our strategy, business plan, and annual operational plans and budgets.

You will join at an exciting time, in which we will be evaluating the success of our current strategy and working closely with the Country Director, Management and Board to develop our next strategy and business plan beyond 2015.

Working under the leadership of the Country Director, you will drive internal performance through the management team and 5 business units (Strategy & Direction, People & Performance, Finance & Administration, Fundraising, and Programme Quality) to meet or exceed the targets set against our strategy and business plan.

The successful candidate will be highly systems and process oriented, ensuring that up to date information is available, analysed and acted upon by the management team to address agency level risks and challenges to performance of the business units. You must demonstrate the leadership behaviours we expect to see in our Heads (see our Values below), and able to instil a culture of performance and values based leadership across the whole team. Proactive and solution oriented, you will be able to confidently deputise for the Country Director, and could be a potential Director for Restless Development in the future.
