The Office of Democracy and Governance at USAID/Bangladesh manages programs to promote effective and democratic governance and protect human rights; including working with political parties and civil society to create space for peaceful political expression, ensure transparency and accountability in public institutions, strengthen legislative processes, and improve elections; combatting trafficking in persons; and strengthening the capacity of local government to respond to citizen needs. The Office works with Bangladeshi partners in government, other development agencies, and civil society to make significant investments in Bangladesh’s Democracy and Governance sector. The office is staffed by American and Bangladeshi experts in various disciplines of democratic development.
With considerable latitude for decision-making and exercising independent judgment, the EG Office Director will be responsible for overseeing all EG aspects of the USAID/Bangladesh program. This will require a highly experienced professional with a broad combination of senior managerial experience combined with substantial relevant technical experience. The incumbent must possess exceptional interpersonal and communications skills as well as outstanding professional knowledge of one or more of the following disciplines: macroeconomic policy, private sector led growth, agricultural development, business enabling environment, trade, business competitiveness, public-private partnerships, energy, or environment. The successful candidate will have superior leadership and interpersonal/communications skills, significant knowledge and understanding of USG operating procedures and standards, and extensive management experience.
