Since 1994, the Alliance and its partners have supported over 3,000 projects, in over 40 countries, reaching millions of people.

governance of organisations. In light of this, the Alliance seeks to recruit an
Executive Director (ED) to head its operations in South Sudan.
The
Executive Director’s overall responsibilities will be strategic leadership,
development and effective operation of Alliance South Sudan.
The
ED’s primary focus in the initial stages of this assignment will be to lead the
transition of the South Sudan Country Office into an independent Linking
Organisation which will be nationally led, with a locally recruited Board of
Directors.
S/he

Alliance Secretariat in Brighton, UK and after the transition will report directly
to the Board of Directors.
The
ED will manage senior staff, provide leadership on policy matters and strategy
development, resource mobilisation, partnership development and will advocate
on key HIV issues at national and international levels with stakeholders.
The
successful candidate will have a post-graduate management or development
qualification, along with extensive knowledge of the political and economic
context in South Sudan.
