Senior
Project Manager, Indonesia Postharvest Loss Alliance for Nutrition (I-PLAN)

The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is driven by the
vision of a world without malnutrition. GAIN is a Swiss-headquartered foundation that
mobilizes public-private partnerships and provides financial and technical
support to deliver nutritious foods to those people most at risk of
malnutrition.  GAIN is delivering improved nutrition to an estimated 700 million people in more than 30 countries, half of whom are
women and children. 

Nutrition products
are as varied as fortified cooking oil and salt in Indonesia, soy sauce in
China and biscuits in India, as well as specialized
products for infant and young child nutrition and interventions to protect the
most vulnerable affected by emergencies or chronic illness. In Indonesia GAIN
has implemented behavior change programs to change the eating habits of
pregnant women and children less than two years in parts of East Java.

GAIN has developed the Postharvest Loss
Alliance for Nutrition (PLAN) to bring together the multitude of public and
private sector actors addressing this issue to collectively reduce loss and
waste of nutritious foods. PLAN acts as both a global nucleus for coordination,
programming, research, knowledge exchange and investment on Postharvest food
loss as well as a national hub in emerging markets for business to business
(B2B) engagement.

PLAN Indonesia (I-PLAN) will work
within the food system to address the causes of postharvest loss by bringing
together industry experts and link them with key Indonesian supply chain actors
to improve coordination, transfer knowledge and technology and improve access
to finance. I-PLAN will focus on the addressable gaps in cold chain,
packaging/crating and processing segments that are currently restricting the
adoption of postharvest friendly practices. The
I-PLAN Network will be comprised of SMEs that work along the fish supply chain
post farm gate including but not limited to transporters, aggregators, storage
businesses, and processors. 

The I-PLAN Senior Project Manager will work
closely with the GAIN Global Team and the Indonesia Country Director to set up
and implement the I-PLAN program and help strategically build a portfolio of
activities.  The position is responsible
for operational delivery of a core business area or operation and has a
significant management responsibility and operational impact. This is expected
to be a three year project until 2020.

The ideal candidate will have strong professional knowledge and experience
related to food technology, postharvest loss and waste and food safety. In
addition, s/he will have proven ability to operate within
the corporate and public sectors to effectively liaise with private companies,
development agencies and governments in multiple cultures.

Track
record of researching, conceptualizing, writing and preparing proposals for
local fundraising is required.
