About the Role
OCN needs a new Projects and Community Manager to help run the organisation’s operations in Peru, under direction from the Country Manager and the UK-based Directors.
We are looking for an exceptional candidate who is both a natural leader and has some management experience (on paid or voluntary basis) to run and deliver our objectives to grow and develop.

Some knowledge of NGO management is desirable, as is strong leadership experience or potential. The position is for a two year period after which the position shall be reviewed. We are in search of an enthusiastic individual who is passionate about project management, fundraising, community development and/or international volunteering. The new Project and Operations Manager needs to take on a wide range of responsibilities and work with the small local team in line with the organisation’s values, strategic goals and approach to community development. The responsibilities are divided in three main areas: Project and Operations Management, Fundraising, Volunteer and Community Management.
As Projects and Operation Manager, you would be responsible for the overall management of some of our projects and people as well as other duties including some of securing new grants, leading our community fundraising efforts, and helping to recruit and support the volunteers who make our work possible. You will develop, implement, and deliver appropriate actions to achieve positive and measurable outcomes and opportunities for the Peruvian children & adults with whom we work and with the volunteers and interns who work with us. You will work under the guidance of the Country Manager and the UK Directors ensuring our volunteers are happy, supported and are working effectively to achieve positive results at OCN and our partner projects.
