WASH Program Manager

SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL

Job description

General objective:

The WASH Program Manager leads the design, implementation and quality of SI s WASH response in the West Bank. He/She ensures strategic and technical oversight of emergency interventions, supports programme expansion, supervises and builds the capacity of a new national team, contributes to proposal development and donor engagement, and ensures that activities remain relevant to needs, feasible in the operational context, and compliant with SI standards.

The main challenges:

1. Setting up and structuring a new WASH response in the West Bank with a recently established mission footprint, while ensuring consistent programme quality, tools, processes and coordination with a local partner.
2. Recruiting, training and coaching a new national team so that it can progressively take ownership of planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting.
3. Maintaining strong reactivity and implementation capacity in a tense and volatile political environment, while adapting to access constraints, population movements and rapidly evolving humanitarian needs.

Priorities for the 2/3 first months:

1. Ensure a sound and safe start-up or consolidation of operations, with clear work planning, quality monitoring and strong coordination with support teams and partners.
2. Recruit, train and mentor the national WASH team, clarify roles and ways of working, and put in place solid programme management and reporting routines.
3. Deepen contextual and technical understanding of needs and response options in the West Bank in order to refine SI s position, delivery modalities and future programme development.

Security constraints:

Security constraints are moderate and broadly level 2, and less complex than in other parts of Palestine. However, the political and security context remains tense and volatile, with occasional access and movement restrictions in parts of the West Bank. The position requires sound security awareness, strict respect of movement validation procedures, and the ability to adapt programming to changing access conditions.
