Location: Thessaloniki and Northern Greece / Frequent field visits to various points of operation along the borders and wider region
The Programme Coordinator (PC) will contribute to the strategic development and management of the SN programmes in Thessaloniki, Eidomeni and Northern Greece and will support the setting up and smooth operation of the Thessaloniki Solidarity Center. S(he) will report to the SolidarityNow Head of Programmes (HoP) and will collaborate closely with the Programming, Operations and Financial teams in Thessaloniki and Athens.
The post balances strategic vision and programme knowledge with regards to Greek society’s (chronic) problems combined with the recent socioeconomic crisis as well as mainstream emergency programme support, focusing on advanced, quality implementation and planning.
SN also funds some smaller projects in Thessaloniki area. The PC is expected to monitor, evaluate and try to synthesize this portfolio with the rest of SN’s work in the region in view of multiplying synergies and results.
The profile involves active institutional fundraising capacities. Experience working with big institutional donors (emergency and non-emergency) e.g. EC, ECHO, DFID, UN, EEA etc. is a strong asset.
As the situation in the region as well as country-wise is perplexing, more and many international agencies and NGOs are arriving and working in Greece. Previous experience in international crises and exposure in multicultural environments is a strong qualification.
Thessaloniki and Northern Greece are geographically situated at the heart of a Balkan landscape. A transnational/regional dimension is something SN is already looking at from a strategic perspective. The new PC is expected to greatly contribute and influence the development of this and other programme and organizational strategies for 2016.
This is a full-time position based in Thessaloniki with frequent travelling in the wider region.
