Pact, Inc, an international, non-profit development organization, is searching for a vice president of corporate engagement. Through its 26 country offices and 99 programs, Pact works to build empowered communities, effective governments and responsible private institutions that give people an opportunity for a better life. Pact believes that engagement directly with the private sector, and tripartite engagement among government, civil society and the private sector is fundamental to development. The vice president, corporate engagement, will play a critical role in promoting this engagement through leadership and of Pact’s Corporate Community Engagement (CCE) Practice.
Corporate Community Engagement is a strategic priority of Pact, with significant resource allocation and oversight provided by the Pact Board of Directors. Over the past decade, Pact has developed strategic partnerships and relationships with the private sector to help accomplish its development goals. Since 2003, Pact’s engagement with business has increasingly focused on the extractive industries in fragile and post-conflict settings. For example, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Pact is working with four internationally-listed mining companies to increase food security, and promote enterprise development, natural resource management, human rights and good governance. Pact has also been or is involved with CCE in Cambodia, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mongolia, and Nigeria.
The vice president, corporate engagement, will anchor and guide Pact’s Corporate Community Engagement (CCE) Practice. In this capacity, the vice president will be a leader, team player, and change agent responsible for building consensus and managing the CCE Practice within Pact. The vice president will have demonstrable experience in strategic planning, risk management and communication. While the VP will not be primarily responsible for field-level program management and implementation, the ideal candidate will have field-based experience. The vice president will be responsible for increasing Pact’s depth of experience with the extractive industries in the near term, and breadth of engagement experience with other sectors in the medium term. Finally, the vice president will be recognized as a thought-leader in the field, must be sensitive to and adept in building and managing relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders, including government, civil society and business and able to represent Pact with all three.
