BBC Media Action is the BBC’s international development organisation, and we believe in the power of media and communication for good. We work in over 20 countries around the world, supporting independent media essential to democracy and development. Each year our projects and programmes reach over 100 million people facing poverty, inequality and insecurity with information they can trust, helping to improve health, bridge divides, challenge prejudice, and save and change lives. We follow the editorial standards and values of the BBC, but we rely on funding from donors and partners to carry out our work.
This exciting and influential role will be responsible for the overall running of BBC Media Action’s office in Tanzania. The Country Director will take overall responsibility for ensuring strong management and high-quality delivery of a range of development projects which use the power of media to tackle issues of governance, women and girls right, youth participation, media development, climate change, and nutrition. The post holder will ensure effective office management so that finance and administrative functions are carried out in line with donor rules, local regulatory requirements and BBC Media Action guidelines.
The Country Director will lead the expansion of our portfolio in Tanzania, including identifying future business development opportunities and overseeing the writing of new project proposals. The Country Director will represent BBC Media Action to the Tanzanian government, donors, media partners and other key stakeholders.
BBC Media Action works to ensure that everyone we work with remains safe during their time with us. The Country Director is responsible for ensuring that safeguarding is factored into project design and budgeting, staff and freelancers receive relevant safeguarding training, and relevant safeguarding due diligence is conducted with any local partner organisations that may be working with vulnerable adults or children as part of our projects.
