Since 2006, SNV has been working in Bangladesh to build resilience of Food, Water and Energy systems and strengthen adaptation against climate uncertainty. We focus on private sector engagement, institutional development, and local ownership to develop the capabilities, services and opportunities needed to support people to live fulfilling lives. Our systems change approach aims to shift business operations toward climate resilient practices, working with financial institutions to build the conditions for sustainable impact driven finance.
Using market-based approaches, we emphasize environmental sustainability and inclusive development. We lower the barriers to economic and social development and promote local ownership. SNV provides tailor-made and sustainable interventions that are effective at raising incomes, providing meaningful employment opportunities, and improving access to and coverage of basic services. Our interventions acknowledge the critical importance of improved climate change resilience and mitigation strategies to achieve sustainable change. We work in close collaboration with the national government, civil society, and private sector. Our multi-national and diverse team of experts work from across Dhaka and 14 cities across Bangladesh.
Context and purpose of the job
The Innovations Against Poverty (IAP) program supports innovative, inclusive business models that engage and benefit low-income populations in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Zambia. This program operates a challenge fund to identify and support promising innovations that contribute to poverty reduction and inclusive development in these countries.
Reporting to the Agri-Food Sector Leader and with a dotted/matrix line to Multi-Country Project Manager, the Project Manager is part of an SNV Country Organisation.

The Project Manager manages the start-up, implementation, and closing of the project in Bangladesh, within scope, budget, timeline and acceptable quality levels along the commitments specified in the contracts signed with the donor(s) and other relevant stakeholders. The IAP program is a multi-country project, which will require the Project Manager to work closely with administrative and technical team members from other program locations. The Project Manager works in line with SNV standards, and embraces SNV's approach to business development, project management and donor regulations, in order to achieve high quality results and deliverables of the project.
