    This position will serve as a key resource to the VP of GOM, helping to develop a clear vision of IREX's current and future operational needs and the systems required to meet those needs; and stepping-in for the VP of GOM to address operational issues that demand immediate attention when necessary.

    The exchange of timely, accessible and relevant information between GOM and all other program teams, country offices and functional groups is critical to the quality of the operational and management support GOM provides to the entire organization.

    In collaboration with GOM unit leaders and staff, and other functional groups, regularly create, review and disseminate internal communications designed to inform; provide training; Establish evidence-based methods for measuring the efficacy of internal communications, and for using the data to learn and iterate.

    Establish trust networks and safe systems for soliciting and receiving formal and informal stakeholder feedback about operational performance and its impact on people, programs, partners and strategic priorities.

    Coordinate GOM advise to new business and proposal teams regarding go/no go bid decisions in a constructive and collaborative manner to optimize IREX's growth while adhering to IREX's duty of care practices and principles.

    Provide inputs to business development teams during proposal phase regarding optimal operational requirements, best practices and associated costs in collaboration with GOM's unit leaders.

    Accountable for ensuring GOM runs within budget while it continues to proactively upgrade and refine its structure, systems, policies, procedures, and practices to support IREX's growth trajectory and market changes.

    Participate in the annual budget preparation cycle using evidence-based costs in collaboration with GOM's units, to include not only ongoing GOM costs but also reflecting the operationalization of GOM's annual plan, special initiatives and other related items as appropriate.

    Provide coaching, mentorship, and support to GOM staff. Represent the VP of GOM in discussions and decision-making fora to address immediate and near-term operational issues.
