FCI Project Director — World Vision (Maputo)

About World Vision and this vacancy

World Vision is an international development and humanitarian action organization working for the health, nutrition, and well-being of vulnerable children and families, rooted in faith and community. The Faith and Community Initiative (FCI) is its health program that unites churches, faith-based organizations, and the public health system around a common goal: reaching those furthest from care.

This vacancy is for the top leadership of this program in Mozambique. The position is for Project Director for the FCI Project, based in Maputo, under a fixed-term international assignment. This is not routine management: it is the person who assumes overall responsibility for the program in the country. If this fit is yours, read on.

What you will do day-to-day

The core of the role is directing the FCI program in Mozambique. Specifically, these are the key areas:

• You will be responsible for leading the FCI program in the country with rigor, high quality, and on schedule, framed by the global strategy and results framework defined by the global FCI team;
• You will serve as the primary country liaison with the United States Embassy, government, Christian Health Association (CHA), faith-based organizations, and other partners;
• You will manage the national FCI team and oversee the project budget;
• You will work closely with the Ministry of Health—a core mandate of the role—to align the program with national priorities;
• You will ensure expenses are reasonable, allowable, and compliant, together with the finance and compliance leads, to clear audits without qualifications;
• You will promptly identify country-level risks—programmatic, financial, safeguarding, security, and reputational—and lead their mitigation, escalating to the Global Project Director when necessary.

It is the typical rhythm of country leadership: fixed deadlines, partners with high expectations, and a budget that must close clean. Whoever leads this program is accountable for it.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone for whom leading a large donor-funded health program is not new: someone accustomed to representing an organization internationally and taking responsibility for budgets and teams. This is a representational and decision-making position.

If your experience lies more in technical implementation than top leadership, this position is not for you. The exact list of education, years of experience, and skills is in the requirements section; check each point before submitting your application.

What World Vision offers

• A country leadership position with direct impact on the health of vulnerable communities;
• A fixed-term contract under an international assignment;
