Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) will be required due to travel locations associated with this position.

Key responsibilities include directing program planning and development, setting goals and milestones, managing budgets and expenditures, working on grant proposals with the Development office, monitoring grant use, preparing donor reports, representing the program at events nationally and internationally, engaging with other NGOs for research initiatives, among other duties.
