ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Reporting to the Tunisia Senior Media Advisor, the Project Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the project on the ground, making sure the project is on track with the work plan, coordinating with local partners, organizing timely completion of high-quality deliverables, and drafting regular project reports.

LOGISTICS

Internews plans to open an office in Tunis, Tunisia. Until then, this role will function remotely from Tunisia, and all candidates based anywhere in Tunisia are welcome to apply. You must have independent work authorization in Tunisia that does not require sponsorship from Internews.

Wherever possible, we work to try to find solutions for international hiring that work for both the company and the candidate. This means that some of the particulars around the offer for a role will be dependent on several factors and that the benefits and salary structure that apply to a position will ultimately be based upon the candidate’s location and where the role is hired.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so candidates are encouraged to apply soon.

This is a limited-term position with an anticipated term of 12 months; this position may be extended.
