Job Description:
Duration: PART-TIME I 6 MONTHS
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
As the Transitional Manager, you will work closely with the BAF Nepal and the BAF Netherlands to assist the Foundation with its transition into the new phase. Legally you will be reporting to the Chairman of BAF Nepal but in practice you will be reporting to the Chairmen of both Boards. We will provide you with all the support you need, and we will keep periodical update meetings to ensure that we are all aligned and working towards our shared goals. While your responsibilities will include the following tasks, they may not be limited to them.
Implementing recommendations Organizational Audit :
The Foundation recently conducted an Organizational Audit which identified areas for improvement in our Foundation's structure and processes. The audit resulted in a report with recommendations that included the installation of a Pokhara-based Board, hiring a Manager, designing a clear strategy, and developing (finance) processes. As the Transitional Manager, you will play a crucial role in the implementation of these recommendations. You will be in the lead of this process and will work closely with the Board members, who will provide support where needed. In addition to implementing the recommendations, you will also be responsible for drafting new policies where needed, ensuring that we have clear processes in place to achieve our goals.
Key deliverables:
- Coordination of the implementation of the recommendations of the Organizational Audit.
Facilitate the process of a new Pokhara based Board:
It is in the interest of the BAF Nepal to have a board based in Pokhara as it will allow for easier oversight of the children's home and community-based center in the area. The Transitional Manager can advise on the best way to achieve this, considering factors such as the term of the current Board members, the General Assembly Meeting, availability of suitable candidates and the Foundation's capacity for a smooth transition. Additionally, the Transitional Manager will be responsible for drafting job descriptions for board members, including specific skills such as experience in working with children and counseling, fundraising, networking, and finance. The transitional manager will be responsible for finding suitable candidates and organizing their interviews. The selection process will be based solely on the candidates' experience and expertise, with no consideration given to their religion. The transitional manager will take the lead in ensuring that the new board is set up in a way that maximizes the Foundation's impact and supports the needs of the children we serve.
Key deliverables:
- Advice on the best way to establish a new board based in Pokhara, including a phased transition plan and identification of suitable candidates
- Drafting job descriptions for board members, with specific skills such as experience in working with children and counseling, fundraising, networking, and finance
- Identifying and recruiting suitable candidates for the board, based on their expertise and experience, and organizing interviews
- Ensuring that the selection process is fair and impartial, with no consideration given to candidates' religion.
- Taking the lead in setting up the new board to maximize the Foundation's impact and support the needs of the children we serve
- Draft BAF Nepal Board Manual.
Coordinate Strategy Committee:
As we enter a new and important chapter for the foundation, it is essential to define a clear strategy for the next 5 years. To achieve this, we have already defined the Terms of Reference (ToR) for a Strategy Committee (see attachment), which will be responsible for developing the strategy. However, we put the Committee on hold to await the recommendations of the Organizational Audit. The transitional manager will revise the ToR if necessary, install the Strategy Committee, and guide its work. This will involve convening meetings, facilitating discussions, ensuring progress is made towards agreed-upon goals, and drafting a budget where needed. We believe that a well-coordinated and focused strategy committee will help us achieve our goals and improve the lives of the children we serve.
Key deliverables:
- Revising the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Strategy Committee if necessary.
- Setting up and installing the Strategy Committee.
- Guiding and coordinating its work.
- Facilitating meetings/workshops and discussions.
- Ensuring progress is made towards the agreed-upon goals, and drafting a budget where needed.

However, it is important that the Manager has a pedagogical background, management experience, financial/administration experience, fundraising experience, is a good networker and always looks for collaborations.
Key deliverables:
