FULL TIME

August 27, 2024

IMA World Health, a subsidiary of Corus International, is seeking applications for Deputy Chief of Party/Technical Director (DCOP/TD) for the upcoming USAID-funded Ukraine Mental Health Initiative for National Development (U-MIND). U-MIND is expected to establish an evidence-informed, inclusive mental health ecosystem. By promoting mental wellness, the project will contribute to and enhance productivity, resilience, and social cohesion, focusing on the growth, efficacy, adaptiveness, and accessibility of mental health services. The DCOP/TD will be based in Kyiv, Ukraine, and will provide technical leadership, programmatic and operational management of the partners, and oversight for all program activities and staff in accordance with the contract and donor guidelines.

Corus International was formed through the strategic merger of IMA World Health (operating as a public health organization since 1960), and Lutheran World Relief (operating as a livelihoods organization since 1945), and today includes the smaller entities of Charlie Goldsmith Associates, Ground Up Investing, and Farmers Market Coffee. Corus International works in over 20 countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, with a primary focus on health, livelihoods, and emergency response.

Today, IMA offers extensive expertise in managing and implementing highly successful and complex donor-funded programs in nutrition, maternal and child health, health systems strengthening (HSS), malaria, HIV/AIDS, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). IMA has managed an average of $100 million annually over the last four fiscal years, through grants and contracts from DFID, USAID, CDC, World Bank, the Global Fund, OFDA, UNDP, MCC, and private donors. IMA has been implementing donor-funded programming in Ukraine since 2022 full-scale invasion.

Based in Kyiv, the DCOP/TD will support the Chief of Party (COP) in staff management, capacity building, and stakeholder engagement for the anticipated U-MIND Activity. S/he will oversee the program/technical team; lead project reporting and documentation efforts; have a direct oversight role in the quality of technical direction that activities take; and administration and management of technical service planning. S/he will support the Chief of Party and will liaise regularly with key stakeholders representing the program, including assigned USAID in-country technical advisors and other staff; relevant Government of Ukraine's Ministry stakeholders, and civil society networks. This position reports directly to the Chief of Party.
