International Education Programs Consultant

Recruitment of Consultants for Geneva Global’s Education Strategy

Title: International Education Programs Consultant

Location: Remote or Global

Position Type: Consultant (project-based)

Application Deadline: Rolling

Who We Are:

Geneva Global is a U.S.-based philanthropy advisory firm and a member of Global Impact Ventures. Over the past 15 years, Geneva Global has implemented an accelerated education program called Speed School in Ethiopia and Uganda. In recent years, our support has broadened to strengthening overall basic education access, quality, and relevance in these and other countries.

Anticipating growth in the coming months, Geneva Global is seeking to identify global education experts who may be available and suited to support our work as consultants. This is an open call to build a pool of qualified professionals who can be engaged across a variety of upcoming assignments.

Our Approach

At Geneva Global, we take pride in doing things a bit differently. This manifests in two main ways:

1. We are not satisfied simply to conduct excellent projects—we aim to imbue host systems with the capacity, confidence, and commitment to sustain and scale what we have accomplished with them once our involvement ends.
2. We foster these “three Cs” by looking beyond the what of an intervention to focus on the how—equipping system stakeholders with the knowledge and skills they need to implement programs effectively and sustainably.

We are specifically seeking candidates with deep experience and expertise in one or more of the following areas:

• Pedagogic practice for foundational learning
• Teacher training, supervision, and support
• Monitoring, evaluation, learning, and research
• Competency-based instruction and learning
• Youth and nonformal/TVET education
• Life skills education and school-to-work transitions
• Education systems change
• Education in emergency (EiE) settings, including psychosocial support and mental health
• Gender equity and inclusion in education

Desired Qualifications

We are seeking candidates who meet many of the following qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional experience in global education
• Experience working cross-culturally and in-country in sub-Saharan Africa
• Experience engaging with diverse funders, including UN agencies and bilateral/multilateral donors (e.g., UNICEF, USAID, GPE, FCDO)
• Demonstrated ability to produce high-quality technical deliverables (e.g., training materials, evaluation reports, policy guidance)
• Experience facilitating trainings, workshops, and/or capacity-building sessions
• Proficiency in additional languages (preferred)
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across cultures

How to Apply

• With your application, please submit a brief resume and cover letter explaining why you are the right fit for this position.
