PLANET INDONESIA JOB VACANCIES 2021

Managing Director Appointment

Job Opening

Apply by March 1st, 2021

Planet Indonesia is an award-winning grassroots-oriented not-for-profit dedicated to the conservation of our earth’s ecosystems. We conserve at-risk ecosystems through village-led partnerships. Our model focuses on creating the enabling conditions that allow for Indigenous and rural communities to sustainably manage their landscapes while simultaneously building pathways to improve local well-being.

We embrace a bottom-up approach, helping communities own every step of the planning, implementation, and management of initiatives, as we understand this to be essential for long-lasting, sustainable change. Our needs-based approach fosters outcomes by ensuring rights and services, creating financial and non-financial incentives that catalyze ecosystem stewardship, and supporting democratic village-led governance towards natural resource management. We believe conservation is most effective when local resource-users are defining stewardship and the processes for engagement. We simply facilitate the process and support the right conditions for communities to flourish in their landscapes.

Our organization believes in the power of collaboration and trust. We believe these values must underpin internal organizational processes and external partnerships with communities, governments, and civil society partners. We strive to lead with evidence and evaluate our interventions – focusing on improving what needs to be improved, and scaling what is driving positive change. We believe in transparency between programs, among stakeholders, and with our community partners to create healthy relationships that allow us to deliver community-led solutions through high-quality program performance. As an organization, we are not bound to a particular issue, ecosystem, or community, but rather believe in addressing needs and focusing on cross-sectoral solutions that unlock the potential for local communities to drive systems change.

Summary of Position

The Managing Director (MD) will be a new position working directly with the Executive Director at Planet Indonesia – USA. The USA organization is a 501c3 non-profit and supports activities in Indonesia through our sister organization, Yayasan Planet Indonesia (YPI). While YPI has over 50 full-time staff, our US team is new. The MD should be comfortable working in a ‘start-up’ environment and understand the role and responsibilities required for grassroots movements. This position will be based remotely and work virtually.

The position will have direct management responsibilities over US-based staff (1-2 individuals), US contractors (1 individual), and work closely with Foreign Contractors (3 individuals). The position will also be expected to work closely with the US Board of Directors on relevant matters. The MD will oversee strategic organizational growth, US operations, broader scaling strategies, US administration, US human resources development, fundraising, and support of international partners – namely our Indonesian registered non-profit Yayasan Planet Indonesia. The MD will also be expected to ensure efficiency in operations and maximize cost-effectiveness for the US-based 501c3, Planet Indonesia – USA. This is a full-time role based in the US.
