Regional Change Manager for the Horn, East- & Central Africa (HECA) region

Oxfam International and its 17 affiliates worldwide have embarked on an ambitious ‘Vision2020’ strategic change process, building on all changes in the past few years. Top level decisions have been made by senior management and the confederation is ready to move into the next phase of implementation at country, regional and global levels.

The changes are expected to have a profound impact on much of our work on the ground and globally, as well as on the way we organise ourselves, our structures, staff and relationships with other stakeholders.

In the Horn, East & Central Africa region, a Regional Transition Group has recently been established, led by a fulltime chair and comprised of key Oxfam affiliates in the region. The objective of this group is to further design and implement the staff, whilst ensuring that much of Oxfam’s work continues. The RTG is complemented by the OI Country Directors of all ten countries in the HECA region. A first regional and country level roadmap has recently been designed, with clear milestones and timelines.

This Vision2020 change process requires change management capacity, both at country and regional level in HECA. We are looking for a an experienced and senior change manager who works directly with the RTG at regional level, and who is able to support country change processes too.

Objective of the position

To help shape a stronger Oxfam in the HECA region the Regional Change Manager will be responsible – in coordination and consultation with the Regional Transition Group - fordefining, coordinating and implementing change management and support plans for the country- and regional teams within HECA.

The regional Change Manager will report to the chair of the Transition Group for HECA and, when appointed next year, to the Oxfam Regional Director.
