Senior Project Manager (Palestine)

Responsibilities
Project management and delivery

• Serve as the central coordination point for the team, ensuring deadlines, deliverables, and priorities are clear, owned, and met across all project streams.
• Track and manage progress across concurrent projects, keeping a single reliable source of truth for status, owners, and next steps.
• Run the cadence: prepare and lead key project meetings, and follow up with each owner afterwards so momentum and deadlines hold.
• Prepare and share weekly project dashboards summarising status, blockers, risks, and next steps for leadership.
• Support and coordinate project owners rather than replacing them, stepping in directly only when a gap would otherwise stall delivery.
• Ensure security protocols are followed.
• Support donor cultivation and fundraising efforts
• Coordinate cross-team and cross-organisational collaboration, including with partners and Avaaz departments.
  

Performance tracking and reporting

• Track operational KPIs such as throughput and survey progress, and keep them visible.
• Build and maintain reporting that gives leadership real-time visibility into operational health.
• Use data to flag risks early and drive evidence-based decisions on prioritisation and resourcing.
  

Process and systems

• Design and document lightweight standard operating procedures (SOPs) that fit how the team actually works, so quality and consistency hold as the team scales.
• Analyse workflows to remove friction, cut cycle times, and reduce operational cost.
• Select and set up practical tooling to support project tracking and reduce manual work, matched to the team's context and adoption capacity.
  

Event and operational support

• Support the operational delivery of team events and gatherings, in a high-security context.
• Anticipate operational risk, build contingency plans, and pivot quickly when conditions change.
  

What success looks like
Skills and Competencies

• Proven project management. Track record of keeping complex, multi-stream projects on time, with the judgement to prioritise under pressure.
• Systems and process builder. Has designed SOPs, reporting, and workflows that people actually adopt, and can right-size them to the team rather than over-engineering.
• Operates under constraint. Stays composed and keeps delivery moving in a high-stakes, unpredictable environment; strong on contingency and rapid re-planning.
• Accountability with empathy. Skilled at follow-up and delegation tracking; holds the line on deadlines while navigating people and context with emotional intelligence.
• Communication. Excellent written and verbal communication in English and Arabic.
• Tech-comfortable. Fluent in project-tracking and collaboration tools; experience with Asana, Slack, and Google Suite is a plus but not required.
