Administrative Manager

SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL

General objective:

The Administrative Manager is responsible for the financial, administrative & HR management of Gaza base.

S/he will be in charge of the financial, budgetary & accounting management

S/he will be in charge of the HR management of the national staff & the implementation of the national HR policy.

S/he will be in charge of the legal & administrative follow-up

S/he will be working closely with the Field Coo to ensure that HR configuration and financial management reflect the search for efficiency and impact of SI base

The main challenges:

• SI has established operational presence in Gaza early 2024 and runs operations with national teams possessing limited humanitarian experience and seniority with the organization.
• The operational volume of the base has rapidly increased in an extremely challenging, restricted and rapidly changing operational environment, requiring constant adaptation.
• The operational environment and surge in INGO activities since the ceasefire makes recruitment increasingly competitive and attraction/retention of senior national staff challenging
• National teams have been heavily affected by the conflict, and Duty of Care is an essential component of our HR policy, reauiring sustained efforts and investments
• Despite improvements since 10th of October, the security situation remains very fluid, and the operational environment associated with high levels of stress and difficult living conditions.

Priorities for the 2/3 first months:

The recruitment of an Admin Manager for Deir Al Balah base follows the split of the Support Manager position into two separate (Logistic and Administrative) manager positions. This split is commanded by increased operational volume and the need to build capacity of national team in a recently established base. The Admin Manager's priorities for the first months will be:

• To continue build the capacity of national teams (recently recruited)
• Enhance the structure and performance of the Admin department on the base
• Enforce new policies and regulations (ISR, tax system, etc.)
• Maintain high quality admin process implementation and service to the team

Security constraints:

Security constraints are very high in Gaza, with a context marked by high-intensity military activities including air strikes, land and naval bombardments, as well as risks associated with medium and light infantry weapons. Social tensions are also very high, linked to the war, difficult living conditions and the collapse of economic activity, leading to looting, inter-family dispute as well as criminal acts. Since the ceasefire brokered on 10th of October 2025, the security situation has improved and explosive violence (airstrikes, shelling) has sharply reduced. The situation however remains very fluid and a worsening of the situation remains a possible scenario.
