Programmes Manager - Conservation and Rural Livelihoods (Madagascar)

SEED Madagascar is a medium-sized international NGO seeking a driven and enthusiastic Programmes Manager to help shape and deliver our conservation and rural livelihoods programmes in Madagascar. This is a unique opportunity to take on real responsibility early in your career, working at the heart of an organisation that combines hands-on community impact with evidence-led programming.

This role is ideal for an early-career development professional with two to four years’ experience who is ready to step into managing people, projects and partnerships. You will work closely with a diverse team of national and international colleagues, taking the lead on programme design, grant writing, reporting and evaluation, and playing a key role in strengthening and growing SEED’s work.

These skills are essential and candidates will need to have these to be considered for this post.
