Overview
WeWorld is inviting experienced professionals to apply for the Head of Support Services roster, which provides short-term and medium-term deployments across various countries based on programme needs. The roster is designed to supply leadership and operational support for finance, human resources, logistics, and procurement during periods of increased operational need or unexpected staffing gaps. Inclusion in the roster does not guarantee an immediate or future assignment, and the roster remains active for the ongoing year with the possibility of renewal by mutual agreement.
The Head of Support Services reports to the Country Representative to coordinate main support functions within a country programme. Responsibilities include leading support teams, aligning departmental priorities with programme requirements, and ensuring that internal policies, standard operating procedures, and operational manuals are implemented and updated. Financial duties involve overseeing accounting, financial reporting, country budgets, project budget preparation, expenditure monitoring, and supporting audits, expenditure verifications, spot checks, and donor assessments. Additional duties cover supervising logistics and procurement, managing assets, vehicles, warehouses, stocks, and operational bases, overseeing human resources processes, and identifying operational risks and corruption-prevention measures.
Who can apply

Strong knowledge of administrative rules and procurement procedures used by major international donors, such as ECHO, the European Union, the United Nations, and AICS, is required.
Candidates must demonstrate strong management, planning, reporting, monitoring, and organisational skills, with the ability to coordinate and train multidisciplinary teams, identify operational risks, and work independently under pressure in rapidly changing humanitarian environments. Fluency in written and spoken English is mandatory. Italian and additional languages including French, Arabic, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Pashto, Farsi, or Swahili are considered desirable.
