PORTFOLIO MANAGER – BURKINA FASO , Burkina Faso

Enabel est l’Agence belge de développement. Elle exécute la coopération gouvernementale belge. L’Agence met également en œuvre des actions pour d’autres organisations nationales et internationales. Avec ses partenaires belges et internationaux, Enabel fournit des solutions pour relever des défis mondiaux urgents - le changement climatique, l’urbanisation, la mobilité humaine, la paix et la sécurité, les inégalités sociales et économiques - et pour promouvoir la citoyenneté mondiale. Avec 2000 collaborateurs et collaboratrices, Enabel gère quelque 170 projets dans une vingtaine de pays, en Belgique, en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient.


Contexte:

Le programme de coopération bilatéral belgo-burkinabé pour la période 2019-2023 arrive dans sa phase de clôture et un nouveau programme de coopération bilatérale (2023-2027) est en cours de formulation pour un démarrage prévu au second semestre 2023. Ce nouveau portefeuille va permettre de renforcer la présence d’Enabel dans le pays en étendant la zone globale d’intervention aux régions du Centre Nord, du Plateau Central en sus de celle du Centre Est (portefeuille actuel). Il prendra en compte les questions des fragilités dans le cadre d’une approche territoriale intégrée de développement local autour des axes suivants :
- Le renforcement de la résilience socio-économique des populations vulnérables (agriculture et entreprenariat),
- La cohésion sociale (prévention des conflits/police et justice de proximité),
- L’appui aux services sociaux de base (eau et assainissement, éducation, santé sexuelle et reproductive).

Enabel au Burkina Faso soutient également, et met en œuvre, la composante nationale du portefeuille régional thématique « Climat Sahel », depuis 2022, dans la région du Centre Nord.
Par ailleurs, Enabel a renforcé ces dernières années son rôle stratégique comme partenaire influent de l’Union européenne au sein du Team Europe, notamment dans le domaine de la sécurité et de la justice. Elle met en œuvre un projet d’appui au renforcement de la Justice et clôture actuellement deux projets d’appui à la stabilisation. Enfin, l’Agence assure actuellement le démarrage d’un projet d’appui à la résilience socio-économique dans le Centre Nord (2023-2026) de 5 M€ et formule, avec l’Union européenne, une intervention ambitieuse à l’Ouest du pays en soutien aux services sociaux de base (2023-2026) de 10 M€.

Description de la fonction
Le Portfolio Manager soutient les managers de projets dans la bonne conduite des activités, renforce les synergies inter et intra projets et s’assure du contrôle qualité pour une optimisation des ressources allouées.
Il contribue également au renforcement du MEAL (Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning) pour une meilleure redevabilité et démonstration de la trajectoire de changement induite par les interventions.
Enfin le Portfolio Manager travaille en étroite collaboration avec le Représentant Résident et l’autre Portfolio Manager, dans la mobilisation de ressources additionnelles ainsi que dans l’élaboration de nouvelles interventions.

Plus concrètement, en tant que Portfolio Manager, vous êtes responsable de :

• Garantir la mise en œuvre optimale des portefeuilles concernés dans le respect des cadres et orientations stratégiques du comité de pilotage pays / projets ;
• Coordonner l’ensemble des interventions des portefeuilles en collaboration avec les project managers ;
• Piloter les interventions en garantissant une utilisation optimale des moyens disponibles dans le respect des règles et procédures en vigueur chez Enabel ;
• Diriger l’équipe sous sa responsabilité hiérarchique afin de disposer d’un personnel qualifié et motivé ;
• Assurer une veille stratégique, principalement sur les initiatives de Team Europe, et contribuer aux échanges sectoriels avec les opérateurs de développement ;
• Soutenir les processus de formulation des opportunités de nouvelles interventions en lien avec les équipes techniques de Bruxelles et locales.

PARTNER

Our goal is to become the most influential inclusive growth consultancy in the world.

We have established ourselves in our chosen markets and within the global community of international development actors and are now expanding into new markets with a business model based around partnership, co-ownership, and growth-sharing. If you an entrepreneurially minded development practitioner with a commitment to excellence, this is an opportunity for you.
We believe that international development should be a little more focused on growing the skills, agency and commercial value of the markets being supported, and a little less focused on doing so in donor markets. As a partner, you will be part of a high performing team, empowered and incentivised to grow value in yourself and your market.

You will be responsible for your own portfolio, delivering consultancy services for clients, building a suite of projects and initiatives, and collaborating with partners across the business to leverage our collective strength and experience. You will deepen your existing influential relationships with governments, donors, the private sector and civil society, spearheading the application of Expectation State’s model in your market, for your market.

We work hard to be much more than a consultancy company, advocating for changes in how governments, the private sector and donors operate, for the ultimate goal of more inclusive states, economies and communities; we want our collective opinions to shape how we deliver for our counterparts.
We’re a small, rapidly growing, ambitious company wanting to make an impact. If you think you’re a fit for that then we’d love to hear from you.

Role:
Leadership and Representation
• You will be the voice of Expectation State in your area of geographic or technical expertise. Represent our mission and deliver excellence. Play a role in steering Expectation State as a whole.
Business Development
• Generate leads and opportunities, and secure projects and consultancy using networks and positioning, supported by colleagues across the business.
Consultancy
• Deliver billable consultancy days to clients, providing high quality technical services to grow more inclusive states, communities and economies.
Project Management
• Direct and manage projects in your portfolio; technically and financially.
Recruit and manage project teams
• Bring the best available consultants into your pursuits and projects.
Manage profit centre finances
• Maintain an up-to-date understanding of your portfolio’s financial position and forecast.
Grow and maintain network
• Take meetings, have conversations and grow the Expectation State brand in your country or technical area.

Profile:
You are an ambitious self-starter with proven track record of delivering with, through or alongside international donors. You have confidence in your ability to grow a portfolio of work delivering impact.
You should have a passion for and commitment to the development of your country or technical area, and an appreciation for the potential of inclusive economies and societies. You will need to be equally comfortable representing yourself and the company at senior levels (Ministerial and C-suite) and providing technical inputs as part of the design and delivery of our interventions. You need to be open to new and ambitious approaches and be rooted in your chosen ecosystem. You should be a well established consultant, with the ability to provide high quality inputs as well as manage and direct large projects. You will need to create strong and collaborative relationships with partners and other team members based in other countries.

Specifically, we are looking for:
• Prior experience in your geographic or technical area.
• Understanding of donors, the development sector and associated stakeholders in your chosen market;
• An ability to work with private and public partners, with proven track record of doing so;
• An established consultancy profile that places you at the top end of your market with clients;
• A background of working in politically complex environments;
• Written and spoken fluency in English and the native language of your home market (if different); and
• A hunger to move quickly, make an impact and enjoy yourself.

We are looking for two types of partners:

1. Geographic Partners: You possess an incredible understanding of and network in one of the following home markets:
- Senegal
- Ghana
- Nigeria
- Ethiopia
- Uganda
- Kenya
- Tanzania
- South Africa

2. Technical Partners: You’re at the top of your game, with multi-country experience and a focus on one of the following technical areas:
- Climate
- Evaluation
- Trade
or other.

How to apply
To apply, please email partnership@expectationstate.com with your CV and a covering email explaining why you are suited to the role. You will receive an automated response with more detail on the role and next steps.

Closing 17 April 2023 but applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

We need experienced professionals who will help lead myAgro’s strategy and team to greater heights of impact and scale.

In a country with major climate change effects, poor network connectivity, spotty electricity and relatively low levels of infrastructure and agricultural industry, this is not going to be easy. That’s why we need you.

The deadline to apply is April 30, but we will review applications on a rolling basis, so apply today!

You Will:
Inspire and lead the Mali program; embody our values and model how to succeed at myAgro
Lead the team to achieve operational excellence through implementing reliable processes and frameworks
Manage away distractions and help teams and the country prioritize work

Experience coaching others, substantial people management experience
Experience in operational roles, especially in growing NGOs, businesses or social enterprises.

Quality health insurance for you and your family. Dental and vision coverage. Employer sponsored life insurance.
Annual flight benefit
Approximately 4 weeks of paid time off each year
