We work directly with communities and with local partners to influence positive change, enabling poor people to improve their lives and have a greater voice in decisions that affect them.
Oxfam is seeking a Country Director to lead on behalf of a confederation of Oxfam affiliates working in Indonesia. The Country Director will play a key role in bringing together the programs and people of Oxfam affiliates under a Single Management Structure, and we are seeking a dynamic leader to provide strategic direction and inspirational leadership to maximise the positive impact of our work in Indonesia.

Our strategy for Indonesia models an ambitious, nuanced and complex model for change. In this role you will be operating as the strategic leader of a large-scale country programme, which is delivering tangible results within a highly sophisticated political environment. Acting as a strong and committed leader, you will shape and support the team in devising and implementing the next generation of programming in Indonesia – building upon our operational field based work, and influencing positive change through key alliances and partnerships.
