Operations Director, South East Asia and the Pacific Department

Conciliation Resources, an international peacebuilding organization headquartered in London with a branch office in Melbourne, is seeking an Operations Director for its South East Asia and the Pacific (SEAP) Department. With a mission to prevent violent conflict and build sustainable peace, Conciliation Resources values inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation in all aspects of its work culture.

The Operations Director will be responsible for overseeing all operational functions within the SEAP Department. This includes managing financial operations, human resources, statutory obligations, staff safety and wellness, office management, and programme compliance. The role involves developing and maintaining processes and systems to support the smooth functioning of the SEAP Department. Additionally, the Operations Director will lead a team of four staff members in providing support for grant management, fundraising, gender initiatives, and monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) for peacebuilding programmes in SEAP.

Working closely with the Chief Operating Officer and the Core and Operations team based in London, the Operations Director will also collaborate on global projects and responsibilities as needed. Providing leadership to the operational team is crucial as they liaise with programme teams, consultants, and suppliers to ensure they have the necessary resources and guidance to carry out their work effectively. Reporting directly to the SEAP Department Director, this role is integral to the department's leadership team and contributes significantly to shaping strategy and management decisions.

This position is based in Melbourne but may require occasional travel to London for collaboration with global operations teams or visits to satellite offices in Cotabato (Philippines), Papua New Guinea (PNG), or Fiji. Ideal candidates for this role are experienced operations professionals with a strong background in financial management, human resources administration, compliance oversight, and team leadership within an international non-profit setting. If you are passionate about supporting peacebuilding efforts in South East Asia and the Pacific region while leading a dynamic operational team towards organizational success, we encourage you to apply for this impactful role at Conciliation Resources.
