ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Internews seeks a Senior Business Associate (SBA) for a USAID-funded global Internet freedom initiative. This initiative supports local civil society, independent media, and human rights defenders in preventing and responding to digital repression, particularly in repressive contexts. The activity focuses on building long-term, local resilience among civil society through a networked approach that involves global, regional, and local actors. The activity will provide technical assistance on digital security, digital governance advocacy and engagement, censorship circumvention, and holistic legal, psychosocial, and physical security support.
The SBA will report directly to the Finance & Operations Manager (F&O Manager) and provide high-level administrative and operational support to the Civic DEFENDERS team. The SBA will collaborate closely with the entire Civic DEFENDERS program team, including the Chief of Party (COP) and Deputy Chief of Party (DCOP). The SBA will support a variety of financial, administrative, accounting, and operational tasks, including subgrant management, financial oversight, reporting, and data analysis. This position requires excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to prioritize competing tasks. The SBA must demonstrate the capacity to implement innovative solutions, provide constructive guidance to team members, and work with project and department-wide team members. This is a complex administrative support role requiring prior experience, education, and/or training.
