Regional Business Support Manager (Oxfam GB)
Regional Business Support Manage
£26,843 to £36,006 + accommodation + benefits
Latin America and the Caribbean region
Finding lasting solutions to poverty means putting together the strongest programme possible. But to get that support where it’s needed most, we rely on our committed teams. Lead our Regional Business Support team and you’ll shape the direction and quality of our work throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
The role
Heading up our business support team, you’ll take full responsibility for all support functions in the region. That means leading the organisational change process, developing and implementing improved systems and keeping the entire regional support programme running smoothly. And whether we’re lobbying for fairer trade policies in rural areas, or providing humanitarian aid in the wake of a natural disaster, you’ll make sure we have the capacity to support all kinds of issues. What’s more, offering specialist financial advice to senior management, you’ll have a real impact on business decisions – strengthening our strategic thinking and helping to make a bigger difference. Do it well and you’ll not only define the success of our work as a whole, you’ll make your mark at the heart of a highly respected network.
What we’re looking for
A professionally qualified finance manager, you’ll certainly have plenty of senior management experience in another large, global organisation and also have led strategic design, planning and implementation in a challenging environment before. But as well as operating at a strategic level, you’ll need to work with people right across the organisation, influencing and driving change. That calls for exceptional communication skills and the confidence to lead and motivate a diverse team. Fluency in both Spanish and English is essential. And you must be prepared for extensive travel.
Oxfam
A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There’s enough wealth in this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. It’s not just their problem. It’s ours too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. Thousands of people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we’re looking for yours.

That means you’ll have the know-how to provide HR advice while taking our long-term needs into account as well as a proven ability to deliver change and develop organisations.
As a member of a high performing Regional Management Team, you’ll be confident influencing and advising senior management, making sure HR is considered at all levels and analysing ways to better our policy and how we apply it.
It’s a complex role, with multiple projects to prioritise and deliver, so you’ll need to be flexible in your approach and able to solve problems both creatively and pragmatically. And with experience leading HR teams across several countries, you’ll be sensitive to diversity and gender in different cultural environments.

Scarred by conflict and buffeted by earthquakes and floods, Pakistan is a major recipient of aid. In 2010, unprecedented flooding affected 20 million people in Pakistan, a fifth of the population. On inspecting the damage, U.N. Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon said the flooding was one of the worst humanitarian emergencies he had witnessed.
Having previously responded to the earthquake in 2005/6 and the IDP crisis of 2009, Solidarités International sent an assessment team to Pakistan in August 2010. In September the current mission opened. The mission has grown quickly and secured partners to respond to the WASH needs of approximately 300,000 flood-affected people in Sindh Province, Pakistan.
WASH projects focusing on the provision of safe drinking water, sanitation facilities including waste management and latrine rehabilitation/construction, hygiene kit distributions and hygiene promotion. The mission is emergency relief- and recovery-focused, also implementing DRR and LRR-conscious projects. The areas of intervention for the mission at this time are in southern and northern Sindh Province, in the south of Pakistan.
The programmes have mainly been supported by ECHO as the mission's largest partner, and further programming with ECHO is underway.
As of the end of May 2011 Solidarités International is set to launch another WASH project in Sindh, having completed the current programme. The project will be based in Northern Sindh and be oriented around the provision of much needed water networks, sanitation systems, hygiene promotion and community disaster risk reduction.
Solidarités International will be working closely with local authorities and has already established a good working relationship with the provincial government.
