We are looking for an accomplished Regional Contract and Compliance Manager to play a pivotal role in overseeing a capacity development contract in Vietnam and strengthening contract compliance across our programmes in East Asia and the Pacific.
This is an exciting opportunity to combine strategic contract management, donor engagement, programme oversight and regional capacity development in a role where getting the detail right has a direct impact on delivering life-saving humanitarian work.
Our role
Based in Vietnam, you will divide your time between two key areas of responsibility:
Contract Management - You will oversee the delivery and management of a US-funded capacity development contract with the Quang Tri Mine Action Centre (QTMAC), ensuring contractual commitments are met, performance is monitored, risks are managed and programme objectives are achieved.
Working closely with MAG colleagues and partners, you will drive quality assurance, financial oversight, reporting, monitoring and evaluation, and support the long-term sustainability of the project.
Regional Contract Compliance - You will provide specialist support to MAG programmes in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Papua New Guinea and Vietnam, strengthening compliance with US Department of State funding agreements.
You will help develop consistent approaches to donor compliance, provide guidance and training, undertake quality assurance and share learning across the region, ensuring programmes meet the highest standards of accountability and delivery.
We are looking for someone who can combine technical expertise with strong relationship-building skills, sound judgement and the confidence to operate at a senior level.
You will bring:
· Strong donor contract management experience: A proven track record of overseeing donor-funded contracts, including delivery, contract management, performance monitoring and evaluation.
· Senior humanitarian and development experience: Significant experience working on international development or humanitarian projects, with the ability to operate strategically and provide effective programme oversight.
· Confident stakeholder representation: Experience representing an organisation with institutional donors, local and national government authorities, implementing partners and other key stakeholders.
· Donor compliance expertise: A strong understanding of donor regulations, contractual obligations, project monitoring and evaluation, and compliance assurance. Experience with US Government-funded contracts, particularly US Department of State funding, would be a distinct advantage.
· Partnership development and negotiation: A proven ability to establish and maintain successful relationships, influence stakeholders and negotiate effectively with donors, government bodies, NGOs and local partners.
You will also have the communication, analytical and organisational skills to translate complex donor requirements into practical guidance, strengthen programme systems and support colleagues to deliver with confidence.
At MAG, this is more than a contract management role. It is an opportunity to use your professional expertise to support work that changes lives.
Our teams work alongside communities to remove landmines and explosive remnants of war, reduce the impact of weapons and create safer environments where people can rebuild their lives without fear.
You will be joining an international organisation driven by a shared commitment to:
· Determination – working with purpose.
· Expertise – building trust through excellence.
· Integrity – striving to do the right thing.
· Compassion – putting people first.
· Inclusion – valuing diversity and ensuring everyone has a voice.
Your contribution will help ensure that the resources entrusted to MAG are managed responsibly, partnerships are strengthened and humanitarian programmes deliver meaningful, sustainable results.
