Coffee Bay, South Africa Sustainable Coffee Bay Full time

Sustainable Coffee Bay (NPO) is currently seeking a Projects Manager. This is a senior role within the organisation, and the Projects Manager is responsible for overseeing a number of staff as well as working hands-on to manage various projects and programmes.

This is a full-time position and will be based in Coffee Bay, Eastern Cape, South Africa. This position is ideal for a hard-working and dedicated person, who is looking to live close to the ocean to swim, surf, hike, and enjoy the beautiful and rural nature of the Wild Coast.

Sustainable Coffee Bay (SCB) was formally started in 2011, but grew out of the projects that have been run informally by Coffee Shack Backpackers as far back as 2002. SCB has three major focus areas: Early Childhood
Development, Education and Youth Development, and Rural Assistance. This organisation is still closely associated with Coffee Shack Backpackers.

Importantly, this role is suited to a person who enjoys implementing projects in a hands-on fashion. The Projects
Manager needs to be able to handle completing a large number of routine tasks and duties with little oversight, as well as is being able to adapt to new situations and tasks that may arise. Flexibility, self-directedness and enthusiasm are all key. Experience in fundraising, monitoring & evaluation, donor reporting, and social media marketing would be very advantageous, however, this position might suit a talented individual who is willing and able to learn these skills. Experience in managing people is important for this role, as this position will oversee a number of staff. This role requires high levels of responsibility and attention to detail. This job may be an excellent growth opportunity for someone who wants to learn about all aspects of running a small NGO in a rural area.

The Projects Manager will work closely with the board members and chairman of the organisation.

- Operational and project management
- Various project-related tasks
- Managing staff
