Join Us at Plan International Bangladesh: Make a Lasting Impact!

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And its girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

In Bangladesh, we envision a 2030 where children and youth, particularly girls and young women, are recognized as leaders of change in gender norms and can make decisions about their lives. Our country strategy, launched in July 2020, focuses on empowering girls and young women to be heard, live without fear of violence, and achieve their rights.

For decades, our work in Bangladesh has made a significant impact, and we are now looking for a visionary Director of Programmes to lead our efforts in transforming lives across the country.

The Role

As the Director of Programmes, you will drive the strategic development and implementation of our programmes nationwide. You will collaborate closely with senior leadership and other directors to set ambitious goals and scale our initiatives. Leading a diverse and talented team, you will ensure the delivery of high-quality programmes that create tangible evidence, knowledge products, and comprehensive reports for various stakeholders, including donors and government bodies. You will build and maintain strong relationships with government agencies, donors, partners, and media, advocating for our mission and mobilizing resources effectively.

As a key member of the Country Management Team, you will contribute to Plan International’s strategic direction in Bangladesh, ensuring alignment with our global and regional strategies. Upholding our value-based leadership guided by feminist principles, you will foster an inclusive workplace culture and lead by example in both programme and team management.
