Closing date: 10 May 2017

Save the Children is currently recruiting for a five-year USAID-funded opportunity in Guatemala focused on reducing social conflict and improving social cohesion in Guatemala’s Western Highlands with both indigenous and non-indigenous communities. The program will seek to address the drivers of social conflict by focusing on the familial, community and municipal levels and actively engaging community members as participants and leaders in transforming conflict, restoring the social fabric and building peace within their communities.

The Deputy Chief of Party (DCOP) will work with the Chief of Party (COP) to manage the program’s technical, financial, operational and human resources and day to day operations of the project in order to provide quality control for the program’s technical outputs. The DCOP will provide technical and managerial leadership and will focus on overseeing the effective implementation of key project activities. In the absence of the COP, the DCOP will assume full responsibility for the project.

The DCOP position requires diplomatic skills and a thorough understanding of the sensitivities and history of conflict drivers in Guatemala. The DCOP will represent the program with important community and municipal level organizations, associations, committees, and indigenous organizations throughout the Western Highlands, as well as with high-level officials, in donor and Ministry meetings (at the national and municipal levels), with private sector representatives.

The DCOP will have demonstrated ability to organize program work teams, to collaborate with a wide range of diverse sectors and stakeholders, and to liaise as needed with USAID and home office personnel to ensure the smooth implementation of the program. S/he will be expected to work closely with program staff, local communities, and municipal governments, as well as other relevant stakeholders, to implement peacebuilding and conflict mitigation activities.

This position will be based in Guatemala City, Guatemala and will report to the Chief of Party. Guatemalan nationals are encouraged to apply.

Required Background and Experience, Skills and Behaviors:

• Minimum of a Master’s degree in law, international development, public policy, or other relevant field (a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field and an additional three years of experience could be substituted for a Master’s degree).

• Experience managing or delivering results for large-scale USAID projects is preferred.

• Minimum of 10 years of experience at the supervisory level implementing and supporting international development programs; preferably with community development projects.

Organization: Chemonics
Country: Colombia
Closing date: 21 Apr 2017

Chemonics seeks insurance consultants for short-term assignments under the ongoing USAID Rural Finance Initiative (RFI) in Colombia. RFI supports financial intermediaries in increasing their rural financial services for micro, small, and medium-size producers and businesses and the inclusion of certain populations. There is strong unmet demand for rural financial services, and during the last five years regulatory reforms have improved the enabling environment by allowing movable collateral micro-insurance mechanisms. However, financial institutions lack the experience to design and implement these mechanisms to reach rural clients. RFI’s initial assistance to financial intermediaries has focused on credit and savings products, and the Initiative seeks to expand financial intermediaries’ product options to offer insurance services as well. The insurance consultants, over a period of three to four weeks in Colombia, will provide technical assistance to financial intermediaries in identifying, designing, and implementing insurance products (including micro-insurance products) that meet the demand of low-income and other customers in rural areas. We are looking for individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the world.

Responsibilities Include:

• Identify insurance solutions/products (outside life, accident, and funeral insurance) to meet the demands of rural area customers for RFI-supported financial intermediaries
• Apply best practices and proven models for insurance and micro-insurance products targeted to low-income populations or rural customers that have been successful in Latin America and elsewhere globally to inform work in Colombia
• Provide technical assistance to RFI partner financial intermediaries (including banks, microfinance institutions, insurance companies, and finance corporations) in assessing, designing, and implementing insurance or micro-insurance mechanisms targeted for their rural clients
• Ensure mechanisms are designed to overcome barriers to access to insurance
• Design and write detailed procedures, manuals, workflow charts, and job aids for financial intermediaries for implementing insurance products, which must be different from already well-used insurance policies such as accident and life insurance
• Review and refine RFI’s micro-insurance services strategies targeted to assist financial intermediaries (banks, microfinance institutions, and finance corporations) in designing and implementing products in RFI’s targeted seven economic corridors
• Conduct ongoing assessment of micro-insurance opportunities in the seven economic corridors, analyzing financial institutions interested in providing such services
• Produce reports with specific recommendations and strategies for enhancing micro-insurance in Colombia, including new opportunities

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in business administration, finance, trade, economic development, or a related discipline
• Minimum eight years of relevant experience working and implementing insurance or micro-insurance products for rural areas or low-income populations
• Experience working with private financial intermediaries to design and implement insurance mechanisms for vulnerable and low-income populations, including writing procedures, manuals, and job aids
• Experience in the design of marketing/commercial strategy for insurance products
• Demonstrated experience in securing support from insurance and reinsurance companies to offer insurance products designed
• Demonstrated ability to break down the barriers that insurance companies normally have to take risks, especially in the agricultural sector
• Experience delivering training and building capacity of insurance service providers, and strengthening insurance coverage in low-income and agricultural populations
• Experience working in developing country settings required; experience working in Latin America and the Caribbean preferred
• Demonstrated leadership, versatility, and integrity
• Spanish language skills preferred
