Background
NetHope is a cooperative collaboration among the world’s largest international development agencies, NGOs and IT companies. Founded in 2001, NetHope has led multi-stakeholder alliances in the developing world that focus on appropriate and innovative uses of information and communications technology. In September 2010, USAID entered into a cooperative agreement with NetHope to support the Global Broadband and Innovations Alliance (“GBI”) to advance deployment of broadband infrastructure and connectivity in developing economies and to stimulate the use of innovative information technologies (“IT”) in the achievement of USAID’s programmatic mission.


NetHope seeks a Operations Manager for an upcoming 3 year USAID Mobile Money Implementation Unit (“MMIU”) project that aims to support the development of a robust mobile money ecosystem in Indonesia. The MMIU will engage in three overarching activities: (1) provide technical resources, including qualitative research, to mobile money industry leaders to promote increased understanding of mobile money services and sector development; (2) design and administer a small grant and challenge fund with USAID to create incentives for mobile money deployments and use in the near term; and (3) monitor and evaluate mobile money evolution in Indonesia against USAID indicators and targets.

Position Description
The Operations Manager will manage the day-to-day operations of the MMIU program, including finance, administration, compliance management and human resources.
