Position
Options
is seeking a Team Leader for an anticipated programme focusing on
‘Empowering Survivors of Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Sexual
Harassment’ (ES-SEAH). The anticipated programme will aim to increase
reporting of SEAH perpetrated by aid actors and strengthen
survivor-centred responses.

programme will engage Women’s Rights Organisations (WROs) alongside
action research through a pilot to test what works in at least three
different country contexts to support prevention and response to SEAH.
Key priorities of the programme include:

• Develop effective SEAH reporting mechanisms that are contextual and accessible.
• Partner with WROs to receive and respond to SEAH reports.
• Build the evidence base on ‘what works?’ for a survivor-centred approach, informed by survivors themselves.

  closely with the UN on component 2 of the programme (which will focus
  on supporting UN efforts to prevent and respond to SEAH perpetrated by
  UN personnel).

The Team Leader will play a crucial role in

to the programme implementation team, which comprises a consortium of
partners. Specifically, the Team Leader will provide overall programme

ensuring the different parts of the programme are coordinated, delivered
to a high quality, and on track to achieve intended results. They will
be responsible for appropriate resourcing of technical expertise, course
correction and adaptation. They will manage the core programme team to
ensure oversight of both technical and operational aspects of the
programme.

objectives and outcomes are achieved within designated timelines and

promoting knowledge exchange across Options’ programmes and nurturing
