Practical Action works closely with some of the world's poorest people using simple technology to fight poverty and transform their lives for the better.

Practical Action is seeking a Regional Director to develop its programmes and explore new opportunities, both in Kenya and other countries in East Africa. Based in Nairobi, you will report to the International Operations Director in the UK and will be a member of Practical Action's international management team, sharing responsibility for developing PA's international strategies and policies.

This is an exceptional job, requiring an exceptional individual. You will lead Practical Action's work in East Africa, driving change, supporting innovative programmes on the ground, complemented by a commitment to generating and sharing knowledge through a range of approaches including campaigning, a development information service and subsidiary consulting company.

You will need to have a track record in leading highly motivated, creative and diverse multidisciplinary teams and proven sound financial management experience. You will also need to demonstrate a broad knowledge of international development issues and advocacy, as well as detailed understanding of the East Africa Region.

Candidates should hold a degree in a relevant technology, social science or information discipline and must have at least ten years' relevant work experience and management in a similar environment, some of which should be in East Africa.
Suitably qualified applicants from within the East Africa region would be particularly welcome.

A competitive remuneration package will be offered to the successful candidate initially for a 5-year period. This is renewable at the end of each term based on performance.
