The Southern African AIDS Trust (SAT) seeks an Executive Director

The "Southern African AIDS Training Programme (SAT)" was developed by the
Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) as a regional initiative that
supports community responses to HIV and AIDS in southern Africa, funded
primarily through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).  In
2003, SAT was reconstituted as the Southern African AIDS Trust, a registered
charitable regional non-governmental body with its regional secretariat based
in Johannesburg, South Africa.  SAT's strategy is to support and facilitate
community initiatives to improve and scale up their responses to HIV and AIDS. 
Of particular note, SAT has 15 years' experience of grant making to
community-based and non-governmental organizations and implements a
south-to-south skills-training, lessons-learning and monitoring relationship
called "School Without Walls".  SAT includes a regional secretariat and
country-based programs in Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania.

Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, the Executive Director is responsible for
the direction and overall management of SAT.  This includes leadership of the
organization, oversees and ensures the quality of the management team, takes
the lead in developing and promoting SAT's policy directions and strategy,
resource mobilization and management, and representation with international,
regional and local donors and stakeholders.  Interested candidates must possess
a graduate degree in a social science or comparable field with a focus on
management, have at least seven years' experience in senior organizational
management in a government or non-governmental international organization,
possess strong organizational and financial management skills and experience, 
and be familiar with the principles and practices of community HIV and AIDS
care, support and prevention, with experience in organizational capacity
building of CSOs/NGOs.  Candidates should also have excellent interpersonal and
communication skills and be available to travel frequently.  The working
language is English.
