JOB PURPOSE

The Assistant Director will work closely with the CEO to implement FSD Africa’s new 5-year strategy, bringing her/his own networks and ideas to support the roll-out, coordinating internal organisational change processes to ensure strategic alignment across the organisation and encourage collaborative ways of working. Acting as a trusted thought partner to the CEO, the role will involve extensive interaction with senior stakeholders in African financial markets (including African governments), with donor organisations and especially FCDO, and, on a daily basis, with the leadership team at FSD Africa. There will be plenty of opportunity for travel.
The Assistant Director will support partnership development, particularly in climate finance, contribute directly to fundraising efforts, and lead special projects. He/she will support the different cross-pillar working groups being set up to drive a “whole of organisation” approach to financial systems change in Africa and will play a role in further strengthening the governance of FSD Africa by improving the information flow between the Board, Committees, and leadership team
