STATT is seeking expressions of interest from individuals qualified
to serve as Programming and Design Specialist/Team Leader (PDS) to work
under our Resonance Program.
The PDS will design programs aiming to strengthen NGOs, the NGO sector,
and improve NGOs’ operating environment in Indonesia. As part of this
role, s/he would oversee a team, including field researchers, that
contributes inputs into the design process. We hope for the position to
commence in July 2013 and extend until at least December 2014, pending
funding availability.
Qualified individuals will have demonstrated an excellent ability for
designing evidence-based social development programs, for leading
teams, and for working with and within NGOs in Indonesia. The individuals will also have experience leading field research, or will have experience designing and implementing program evaluations.
Working closely with a Resonance Program Analyst, the PDS will be accountable for:
- Developing concepts for national-scale long-term programs aiming to strengthen the Indonesian NGO sector
- Managing the overall design process day-to-day, including recruitment, training, and day-to-day leadership and management of team of up to 12 staff and consultants

Candidates interested in a role tailored to hands-on leadership of field research
are also expected to participate directly in field research including
providing training and guidance to the field research team, facilitating
data analysis, and producing first-round reports on findings.

are also expected to design a data collection and analysis framework
for cross-program data comparisons and take the lead on data collection,
analysis, and reporting on findings.
The position requires a willingness to be based in Jakarta, and will

outside of Indonesia, the position will also require coordinating work
remotely with others through online project management and communication
tools.
