Overview: Co-Lead our growing portfolio of impactful work with government entities, foundations, and social impact organizations across the Middle East

Key responsibilities
  • Set and implement a strategic vision for the Middle East region, in partnership with other ADs and Directors across EMEA
  • Set and manage the annual budgets for the Middle East region, in partnership with other ADs and Directors in Middle East & South Asia region (MESA) and across broader EMEA region

  • Successfully identify new client development opportunities and convert them into wins, building on both existing relationships that DA has and also new ones that you would bring and develop
  • Establish and develop relationships with senior leaders as a trusted advisor and counselor
  • Build a sustainable pipeline of high quality talent in the region through active involvement in acquiring and developing team members
  • Lead through others on multiple projects and regional priorities, demonstrating comfort amid ambiguity, proactivity, dependability and excellence - ensuring quality delivery of projects, as well as measurable impact and outcomes
  • Line and performance management for colleagues in the region
  • Report on the progress of the region to the CEO and Executive Leadership Team
SKILL SETS.

We work closely in diverse, global teams, leaning on each other's strengths. We don't expect any one person to do all these things perfectly; however, our teams are made up of leaders who:

  • Build successful relationships: has experience building trust-based relationships and partnerships to deliver shared goals;
  • Display sound political and technical judgment: building momentum, enabling change and overcoming barriers to success;
  • Lead our teams in problem solving: has a track record of analyzing complex problems, extracting insight from data, identifying key issues, and simplifying the approach to solving them;
  • Provide challenge and effective feedback to teams: has strong influencing and negotiating skills and is excellent at giving constructive feedback; empowers clients and team by providing the right balance between challenge and support;
  • Develop colleagues and foster an effective teaming culture: has a track record of team working and leadership, especially drawn from across organizations with different cultures;
  • Use data and other evidence to make arguments and solve problems: an analytical thinker, able to commission and interpret a wide range of statistical analyses and translate technical information to a lay audience;
  • Design and write high-quality presentations and reports: produces clear, concise and compelling narratives through a combination of expert prose, use of data, graphics and exceptional engaging storytelling; able to coach others in producing high quality work;
  • Facilitate and communicate effectively: can lead interactive workshops with stakeholders and deliver high-quality training sessions to groups of trainees;
  • Navigate and achieve change in the public sector: has knowledge or experience of operating in a political environment and driving reforms through public-sector decision-making processes such as budget setting, legislating, and procurement;
  • Build DA: demonstrating a commitment to the growth and development of the company, including business development, recruiting, IP development and living our values.
MINDSETS.

We work well with people who are:

  • Adaptable: Public sector work is dynamic. Our people are, too;
  • Analytical: We identify, dissect, and solve complex problems;
  • Accountable: We are a remote team. We work collaboratively but self-sufficiently; oversight is often minimal;
  • Driven: Our work is important, so it's important we do it well;
  • Curious: We never stop learning from our clients, colleagues, and partners;
  • Collaborative: We are flexible, thoughtful and team players.
  • Inclusive: We embrace all voices and backgrounds; it enriches our work.
Required Skills/Experiences
  • 10-15 years of experience working in public sector consulting, government, development banks, and/or public policy
  • Knowledge of specific policy fields, such as economic development and diversification, education, agriculture, climate, or health is highly desirable
  • Proven track record of influencing senior stakeholders in various public sector settings, particularly in GCC countries
  • Deep capacity-building and training skills with experience in creating and offering products and learning programs to public sector partners across the Middle East and/or other regions around the world
  • Proven ability to inspire and grow teams through positive, constructive feedback
  • Strong track record in business development, winning new revenue streams
  • Arabic and English fluency is essential (both written and spoken); additional fluency in French would be an advantage

WHAT WE OFFER:

  • Exposure to senior leaders in government, nonprofits, NGOs and other social impact organizations
  • Opportunity to lead and help build our growing organization, working on transformative projects around the world
  • Flexibility in a remote working environment
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and incentives (including industry-leading Management Incentive Plan)
  • Travel both in and outside the region, up to 25-50%

With over ten years of experience and expert staff guiding our work, Delivery Associates has delivered impact in areas ranging from education reform in the US to microfinance in South America to agricultural reform in Africa and the Middle East.
