As a leader in identifying and
delivering solutions to address malnutrition, the Global Alliance for Improved
Nutrition (GAIN) seeks to strengthen the value chain for nutritious foods thus
making nutritious diets more affordable and accessible for vulnerable
populations.
GAIN has developed the
Postharvest Loss Alliance for Nutrition (PLAN) to bring together the multitude
of public and private sector actors addressing this issue to collectively
reduce loss and waste of nutritious foods. PLAN acts as both a global nucleus
for coordination, programming, research, knowledge exchange and investment on
Postharvest food loss as well as a national hub in emerging markets for
business to business (B2B) engagement. Through national and global alliances of
stakeholders engaged in postharvest loss and waste reduction, GAIN aims to
serve as a backbone organization driving for collective impact. At the center
of the alliance is a B2B engine where local businesses will be matched with
international industry leaders and technical experts to increase local
enterprises’ access to knowledge, technologies and financial services. GAIN is
now designing an Indonesian Postharvest Loss Alliance for Nutrition (I-PLAN) to
specifically reduce losses in fish (such as tongkol), which will increase the
availability/accessibility to this nutritious food for vulnerable populations
(pregnant women) in selected areas.
The I-PLAN Senior
Project Manager will work closely with the GAIN Global Team and the Indonesia
Country Director to set up and implement the I-PLAN program and help
strategically build a portfolio of activities. The position is responsible for
operational delivery of a core business area or operation and has a significant
management responsibility and operational impact.
This is expected to
be a three year project until 2020 and will be given fixed term contracts. The
ideal candidate will have strong professional knowledge and experience
related to food technology, postharvest loss and waste and food safety. In
addition, s/he will have proven ability to operate within the corporate and
public sectors to effectively liaise with private companies, development
agencies and governments in multiple cultures. If you are interested in this
