Lead Crisis Modifier readiness and activation processes, including trigger verification, rapid decision-making, financing readiness, pre-approved early-action packages, field deployment, and post-distribution monitoring. Provide full oversight of the consortium budget, financial forecasting, compliance, risk management, partner expenditure, and audit readiness. Lead and mentor the regional program team while maintaining matrix-management relationships with country-based program managers and technical staff. Represent the program at regional and global disaster-risk reduction, anticipatory action, humanitarian financing, and climate-resilience forums.
