JOB DETAILS:
Partner, Expectation State

Our goal is to support the growth of economies that are inclusive and responsive to the needs of their populations, prioritising approaches that pursue quality growth, not just growth for growth’s sake.
We have established ourselves in our chosen markets and within the global community of international development actors and are now expanding into new markets with a business model based around partnership, co-ownership, and growth-sharing. If you are a high performing, entrepreneurially minded development practitioner with a commitment to excellence, this is an opportunity for you.
We believe that international development should be more focused on growing the skills, agency and commercial value of the markets being supported, and a little less focused on doing so in donor markets. As a partner, you will be part of high performing team, empowered and incentivised to grow value in yourself and your market.
You will be responsible for delivering consultancy services for clients, building a portfolio of medium-large scale projects, and directing flagship programmes. You will deepen your influential relationships with government, donors and the private sector, spearheading the application of Expectation State’s model in your market, for your market. We work hard to be much more than a consultancy company, advocating for changes in how governments, the private sector and donors operate, for the ultimate goal of more inclusive economies; we want our collective opinions to shape how we deliver for our counterparts.
We’re a small, rapidly growing, ambitious company wanting to make an impact. If you think you’re a fit for that then we’d love to hear from you.

ROLE:
Leadership and Representation
You will be the voice of Expectation State in your market. Represent our mission and deliver excellence. Play a role in steering Expectation State as a whole.
Business Development
Generate leads and opportunities, and secure projects and consultancy using in-country networks and positioning, supported by colleagues across the business.
Consultancy
Deliver billable consultancy days to clients, providing high quality technical services within the economic development space to grow more inclusive economies.

Project Management
Direct and manage projects in your market; technically and financially.
Recruit and manage project teams
Bring the best available consultants into your pursuits and projects.
Manage profit centre finances
Maintain an up-to-date understanding of your profit centre’s financial position and forecast.
Grow and maintain network
Take meetings, have conversations and grow the Expectation State brand in your country.

PROFILE:
You are an ambitious self-starter with proven track record of delivering with, through or alongside international donors. You have confidence in your ability to grow a portfolio of work delivering impact.
You should have a passion for and commitment to your country’s development, and an appreciation for the potential of inclusive growth. You need to be equally comfortable representing yourself and the company at senior levels (Ministerial and C-suite) and providing technical inputs as part of the design and delivery of our interventions. You need to be open to new and ambitious approaches and be rooted in market ecosystems. You should be a well established technical consultant, with the ability to provide high quality technical inputs as well as manage and direct large projects. You will need to create strong and collaborative relationships with partners and other team members based in other countries.

Specifically, we are looking for:
• Prior experience in your market on private sector development and inclusive economic development;
• Understanding of donors, the development sector and the role of the public sector in your market;
• An ability to work with private and public partners, with proven track record of doing so;
• An established consultancy profile that places you at the top end of your market with clients;
• A background of working in politically complex environments;
• Written and spoken fluency in English and the native language of your home market (if different); and
• A hunger to move quickly, make an impact and enjoy yourself.
