The posting

Your mission

Maliasili is a fast growing, exciting organization that is taking a different approach to driving conservation impact in Africa. We find the best African conservation organizations and make them better by building their capacity and improving their performance. Our partner portfolio includes some of the most well-respected organizations in East and Southern Africa, working at the forefront of conservation across wildlife, forestry, and marine resource management. Specifically, the work of our partners includes, anti-poaching, carbon sequestration, community and indigenous land rights, and developing new enterprises and sustainable business models within natural resource value chains

Since its founding in 2011, Maliasili has built a growing portfolio that works across roughly 50 million hectares of critical landscapes and ecosystems in four countries. We have helped our partners generate or leverage more than $4 million in funding for their work; developed a growing set of tools to help improve their work; and supported many of our partners to significantly grow their impacts in the field. Our goals are to build a portfolio of Africa’s best local conservation organizations, help them collaborate and learn from each other, and to scale up their work on the ground and their leadership capacity within the conservation field.

Building on our track record and growing interest in our organizational support model, we are looking to expand our portfolio in Southern Africa in 2022 and look to build our regional team.

We are now accepting applications for a Manager position to support community-based organizations in Madagascar. This position will be based in Madagascar. This position will require approximately 30% travel within the country. This position will work under Maliasili’s Senior Portfolio Manager who is overall responsible for our work in Madagascar. Applicants should be proficient in spoken and written English and French. Malagasy is an advantage. Maliasili is unable to sponsor work or residence permits for the successful applicant.
