COO (INTERNATIONAL) vacancy at INCLUDED in Beijing,Nigeria

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 6 Nov 2013 05:44:00 -0800

Post:COO (INTERNATIONAL)
Organization: INCLUDED
Location:BEIJING,CHINA
Salary:VERY ATTRACTIVE
INCLUDED (www.included.org)

INCLUDED is a nonprofit organization that envisions inclusive cities for migrants. We broker access to the city for migrants and their slums, doing essential work in difficult places, particularly the slums where migrants are crowded into the margins of megacities. Because no issue is bigger today, no global situation is more urgent than the growing numbers of people living in city slums. Starting in Beijing, we are now also active in Shanghai, Kathmandu and Dhaka. We’re architecting a network of 10 cities and 100 community centers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America in the coming decade to link together efforts on improving the situation of migrants in their cities. Our leadership has recently received the Schwab Entrepreneur of the year award and INCLUDED’s innovative approach to addressing the issue of slums is being increasingly recognized around the world. www.included.org

INTRODUCTION

As INCLUDED expands, we have been laying the groundwork to engage a COO to work in close partnership with the Executive Director and Founder to scale the organization. This is an exciting opportunity to oversee the daily work of the organization as it expands internationally out from China and Asia. Ultimately, this role ensures solid, effective organizational operations and execution while scaling the organization. We are seeking a mission-focused, seasoned, strategic, and relational leader with experience scaling an organization, helping to lead an executive management team, and developing a performance culture among a group of diverse, talented individuals.

The COO must be a leader who helps others at INCLUDED deliver on the vision in real and tangible ways. Some of our goals around inclusive cities are lofty and involve many intangibles. You’ll work to make them tangible, breaking the ambitious goals into attainable chunks for the team, celebrating their successes, and working with them to consistently improve our approach. Ultimately, you will lead through other people, focusing on leveraging their strengths much more than improving their weaknesses. You will have developed a level of extroversion with your team members to help them enjoy their work.

You are motivated to help position INCLUDED as one of the top three global leaders on the migrant slum issue. A level of chemistry and trust needs to exist between the COO and Executive Director for the relationship to work. Effectiveness over efficiency. Results over perfection. Simplicity over complexity. The world is changing at a rapidly increasing pace and we need to remain nimble and quick to react to the opportunities and challenges this brings. You will work to protect our creative, pioneering character in the process.

Do your colleagues think you’re relational? Do you enjoy the idea of architecting things that last? Does serving your team by solving obstacles on a Monday morning get you excited? Do you take pride in doing things well? Do your colleagues describe you as fast-paced, persuasive, self-confident, and cooperative with an eye on the big picture?. Do you gain satisfaction from seeing the joy of struggle and then success on your team’s faces? If so, this role may be for you.

MANDATE FOR THIS ROLE

Drive the organization forward in its aim of inclusive cities for migrants

Position INCLUDED as the top organization working on migrant slum issues globally

Partner with the ED to scale the organization to a linked network 10 cities and 100 community centers and 1 Center for Migrant Slums and 1 Design Center across Asia, Africa, and Latin America by 2020 or before

Oversee the expansion of the staff team to 100 persons by 2018

Increase and maintain the quality and integrity of the organization while scaling

Simplify. The organization has grown too complex at times; keep it simple and flat

Encourage a special culture among the staff and environment

Work with the ED to set standards...standards aren’t for bending

Develop a customer service mentality throughout the organization (Our Service Commitments)
