CARE SHARES COORDINATOR

CARE is an international NGO with local staff and community partners in more than 90 countries. We create local solutions to poverty and inequality and we seek dignity for everyone every day and during times of crisis. These solutions have a broad range, from clean water to access to education; from microfinance to ensuring that everyone has nutritious food; from agriculture and climate change to disaster response. CARE puts women and girls at the center of everything we do because they have proven to be the best hope for creating lasting change in the world. Our staff live where they work, which makes us effective at understanding the challenges they face. We’ve been doing this for over 70 years, since World War II. It started with the world’s first CARE Package® of food for the post-war hungry in Europe. Our work today is as important as ever, we believe that poverty and inequality are historic injustices that we can end within a generation, for good. If you share our core beliefs: poverty is an injustice; poverty is solvable; and together, we have the power to end it, join us, and fight with CARE.

CARE has developed and implemented a confederation-wide intranet and knowledge management system within SharePoint Online to support our work. This will transform the sharing of content across the organization, reducing duplication both in effort and costs, and providing a platform for improved knowledge management. The CARE Shares Coordinator’s main duties include scheduling meetings, coordinating outreach and events, creating project presentations and other written documents, and responding quickly to user queries. The position requires an organized, experienced professional who is flexible and able to respond quickly and competently to new information and unexpected change. Candidates must possess a demonstrated ability to lead projects and effectively communicate with stakeholders to ensure success.

The CARE Shares Coordinator will lead the further implementation and scale-up of CARE Shares across the confederation.

They will be responsible for project planning, budget tracking, change management, communications, and reporting on CARE Shares to a variety of stakeholders.
