The role ensures operational excellence in line with World Bank, USAID, and other donor-funded project standards, ensuring that Seismic’s projects are delivered with efficiency, innovation, and measurable impact, following models adopted by RTI International and GOPA Consultants. The Ideal candidate would be required to carry out the following; A. Strategic Operations & Compliance Oversight Develop, implement, and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) aligned with World Bank, USAID, and multilateral agency operational requirements.

Implement risk management frameworks for operational and project delivery functions. F. Technology & Knowledge Management Drive the adoption of AI, ERP, and digital tools for operational efficiency, project tracking, and reporting. Ensure institutional knowledge capture and dissemination across teams and projects. Requirements A Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA), Public Administration, Operations Management, International Development, Project Management, or a related field. A Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline is required; an advanced degree is strongly preferred.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
