Description:

NOW HIRING DIRECTORS of PROGRAMMING and TRAINING (overseas)

The Peace Corps is looking for senior-level managers with exceptional skills to supervise staff and design and manage international development programs in a variety of fields such as health, education, small business development, and agriculture/environment that positively impact communities overseas. International and cross-cultural experience are required.

Directors of Programming and Training manage, advise, and develop teams of professional program and training staff to support Peace Corps Volunteers at post. Our Directors of Programming and Training oversee the planning, analysis, implementation, and monitoring of programs and training activities, support staff and Volunteers to meet the expectations of project partners, and conduct staff development. These directors guide coordination between working units to ensure effective strategic planning, cost-effective budgeting, and appropriate recommendations.

We seek candidates that are reflective of the diversity of Peace Corps and our Volunteers.

All Directors of Programming and Training must be United States citizens and must not have been associated with intelligence activities. Candidates should have work experience managing an international development program or business, and supporting staff and/or volunteers. Since approximately 90 percent of Peace Corps staff at each post are host country nationals, strong cross-cultural communication skills are critical.

The salary range for these positions is $61,759 - $138,137. All Peace Corps U.S. direct hire positions are time limited. Employees are appointed for a 30-month tour and may be granted a second tour for a maximum of five years (60 months) with the agency.

While many of the Director of Programming and Training positions do not require fluency in a language, some do. We anticipate a specific need for fluent French, Portuguese and Spanish speakers.

Peace Corps accepts applications for Director of Programming and Training positions throughout the year. There are 3 hiring cycles which take place in January, June and October. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit their application 6-9 months prior to the cycle for which they would like to be considered.
