BBC Media Action in Tanzania

BBC Media Action is currently implementing several multi-year projects in Tanzania addressing themes such as gender equality, civic engagement, responsible parenting and humanitarian response. We do this by combining intensive training for Tanzanian media houses with the production and co-production of targeted media outputs on radio and social media using various factual formats and dramas. All our projects are currently responding to the global COVID-19 pandemic and we will be developing some additional related projects during 2020.

BBC Media Action’s Tanzania team requires a dynamic leader with a highly developed understanding of media and development, together with solid management experience, to lead it into its next phase of development.

Overall Purpose of Job
As Country Director, you will assume overall responsibility for developing new projects, securing funds for these projects, and delivering BBC Media Action’s current portfolio in Tanzania to a high standard, on time and within budget.

You will be responsible for the financial management of projects and reporting on editorial and operational progress to London headquarters and to project donors. You will represent BBC Media Action in Dar es Salaam to key stakeholders and will ensure effective relationships and partnerships with funding agencies, government bodies, broadcasters, NGOs, academic institutions, international development agencies and others.

The role of Country Director will also involve leading the development and implementation of BBC Media Action’s Country Strategy for Tanzania and contributing to the overall development and strategy of the overall programme in Africa. You will therefore have substantial management experience – ideally in an African media and/or international development setting – with a proven ability to effectively deliver complex projects within budget and on time. You will also have a strong understanding of international development and how media can support development goals, combined with a strong track record of developing proposals and raising funds from donor agencies.
