About the position
Namati’s team of more than 150 big-hearted advocates is spread across six country offices and remote locations around the world, representing different languages, customs, legal systems, and operating environments. As we can continue to deepen our impact, we’re seeking a Deputy Director, Global Operations to join the team of our colleagues around the world dedicated to operational excellence, and ensure we have the systems and structures in place to meet our current moment, and build for the future.
The Deputy Director must be creative and think expansively, collaborating with Namati’s country teams to design Namati-specific solutions to infuse our processes and operations with our values, ensuring we are thoughtful in what we put in place, that we are integrated globally, and that we are continually building a stronger, more values-oriented, more mission driven organization. We’re looking for someone with a deep understanding of on-the-ground operations -- someone who will take the time to understand our work and partner with our teams to build tactical systems -- from financial operations, registrations, office management, office concerns, opening new offices, safety and security, to general policies and procedures, organizational systems, and team-wide communication -- that are optimized for each of our varied operational contexts. In particular, the right person will start from the perspective of solving first for the realities of our colleagues on the frontlines: our grassroots legal advocates and partners.
The Deputy Director must bring strong and cross-cultural relationship-building skills, as well as a practical bias for action and problem solving. Part of this role is proactively identifying where needs are highest or capacity is lowest and finding solutions to bridge those gaps in execution.
Ultimately, we’re looking for someone who feels a deep resonance with our mission to bring justice everywhere and who will be relentless in building and supporting the organization to bring this mission to life.
