The Organisation

Plan International is an independent child rights and humanitarian organisation committed to children living a life free of poverty, violence and injustice.

We actively unite children, communities and other people who share our mission to make positive lasting changes in children's and young people's lives.

We support children to gain the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to claim their rights to a fulfilling life, today and in the future.

We place a specific focus on girls and women, who are most often left behind.

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for more than 85 years, and are now active in over 80 countries.

The Opportunity

Plan International has been working in Honduras since 1977, helping vulnerable children, young people, and their families to break the cycle of poverty.

Plan International Honduras country office is located in Tegucigalpa and implements projects funded through grants and sponsorship Program Units in Choluteca, Copán, Intibucá, La Paz, Lempira, San Pedro Sula and Santa Bárbara.

Our global strategy has a specific focus on girls, as they are often the most marginalised and most often left behind.

We have committed ourselves to the ambitious target of reaching 100 million girls over 5 years, to ensure they can learn, lead, decide and thrive.

This is our contribution to reaching the sustainable development goals and in particular the goals on gender equality.

We need bold, forward-thinking and innovative individuals to lead our country operations, driving change and delivering results that will allow us to reach our target of 100 million girls.

As a Country Director, you will drive and lead Plan International's programme and influencing work, setting overall direction, leading a high-performing team, ensuring accountability for meeting demanding targets and maintaining alignment with the global strategy.

You will be deeply comfortable with leading transformative change, have a demonstrable commitment to gender equality and relish the prospect of representing Plan International to the highest levels of government, civil society, the media and international media.

You will lead by example in ensuring gender equality is evident in everything we do from staffing to programming and influencing, to ways of working.

You will work with your team to bring about the right culture that ensures we are champions for girls and gender equality.

You will lead a motivated team, ensure legal compliance, and be ready and able to respond to emergency and development needs of the most marginalised children, especially girls.

Do you have what it takes?
This role requires a person with strong leadership experience. You will manage the development, review, approval, execution and evaluation of the country's strategic plan. You will direct the Country Management Council and manage operations within the country.

You are responsible for the management and development of the organization as a whole, including managing our talent, ensuring learning, evaluating continuous improvement and providing technical assistance as an integral part of each domain.

You will establish contacts and productive relations between the countries of Plan, Regions, IH, National Organizations and other organizations that incorporate best practices and learning in the operations of the countries.

You will direct and manage policies, procedures, and legal requirements for country operations while you build and manage the relationship within the Plan, with the government and with other organizations to optimize the commercialization and the granting of financing opportunities.

You will act as a representative for missions of donors, delegations, and embassies of their countries, on behalf of Plan.

Essential
Proven experience in exercising leadership functions with increasing responsibility in an international environment related to development.

Proven understanding of "child rights" and "gender in development" concepts and the promotion of girls' rights in the context of relevant International Conventions (Convention of the Rights of the Child, Convention for the Eradication of Discrimination against Women) and the Global Goals (SDGs).

Experience and understanding of the concepts of sustainable community development and participatory approaches and practice in development interventions.
Knowledge of the requirements of donor compliance and financial management

Knowledge of programming in challenging environments with a good understanding and appreciation of the historical, security context, political environment, economic, social/religious and humanitarian context in Honduras or a comparable environment.

Proven skills in the development and management of effective and motivated teams, including distance management.
Proven networking and negotiation skills with governmental, non-governmental actors and the private sector.
