The Global Human Resources and Operations Director will work directly with the senior management team and country directors to develop and implement human resource policies and procedures adequate to meet the complex needs of staff and consultants locally and internationally. In addition, s/he will assess and further develop the global technology and administrative needs of the organization. The role of the Global Human Resources and Operations Director will be to address the myriad needs of the organization's internal stakeholders and external research affiliates. Because the organization is complex, and because it has grown rapidly, all HR, administrative, and IT systems need to be assessed and potentially upgraded to ensure that the needs of employees and consultants, (both logistical needs and fundamental safety concerns) are taken care of. A strategic thinker and a team player, the Director will work collaboratively to understand and assess key components of the policies and procedures within the organization and recommend upgrades with both the big picture and the affected individuals in mind. S/he will be called upon to analyze past processes, identify areas requiring improvement, contribute as a thought-partner to developing infrastructure moving forward, ensuring efficient communication, and most importantly, implement the new practices. This is an exceptional opportunity for an entrepreneurial and sophisticated human resources and administration professional with the drive and determination to apply deep technical know-how towards eliminating poverty internationally.
