PROGRAMS & PARTNERSHIPS MANAGER,

GEI delivers transformative education and global
engagement programs in Africa and Southeast Asia. Our portfolio includes study
abroad programs and internship programs across six academic tracks and six
destinations, as well as faculty-led programs in any discipline across 30+
destinations.

Kenya is one of our six core destinations and one of our
leading destinations for faculty-led programs. We are looking for a Programs
& Partnerships Manager to lead the academic side of our work in Kenya:
developing the local course elements of our GEI-led programs, building the
partnerships behind them, and teaching in the field. You will also lead
faculty-led programs on the ground and work closely with GEI’s Director of
Academic Affairs.

About the position

· Course development: Develop the Kenya elements of GEI’s courses ahead of
demand: module days, community-engaged projects, orientation and reflection
sessions, itineraries and costings, and a comprehensive introduction to
Kenya.

· Global Practicum: Build the local partnerships for GEI’s destination
flagship initiatives, such as our School Water Systems or Mentally Fit
Schools initiatives (university partner, schools, technical partners) and
plan the practicum locally.

· Internships: Identify and secure internship hosts across GEI’s fields
and adapt the internship orientation.

· Partnerships: Build relationships with universities, organizations,
and communities who contribute as hosts, speakers, and local faculty.

· Teaching: Lead Global Field Engagement courses in the field: module
days, hosts and speakers, a community-engaged project, reflection, and
feedback on student work. Supervise Global Practicum cohorts through to the
closing colloquium and handover.

· Faculty-led and other custom programs: Lead faculty-led and other custom programs on the ground
as On-Site Program Facilitator, including design, quotes, and logistics with
the Kenya team, and support as needed.

· Planning and quality: Keep GEI’s course development plan current for Kenya,
apply GEI’s Community Engagement Code of Practice, and escalate safety and
safeguarding concerns in line with GEI’s procedures.

Education & experience

· Master’s degree in a relevant discipline, required to
teach credit-bearing courses. We welcome a range of academic backgrounds.

· At least 3 years of relevant experience, including
teaching or facilitating with university students or adults, ideally in
field-based settings.

· Experience building educational programs, courses, or
itineraries. Experience with faculty-led programs is an advantage.

· A network among Kenyan universities, organizations, and
practitioners, or the ability to build one quickly.

Skills & working style

· Excellent English, and confident with students, faculty,
partners, and suppliers.

· Organized, reliable, and collaborative, with strong
teamwork, clear communication, confidence using shared planning tools (Excel,
Word, OneDrive), sound judgment, and clarity about when to escalate.

· Proactive, resourceful, adaptable and hands-on;
culturally aware, and respectful with students, partners, suppliers, and
communities. Willing to support colleagues and work flexible hours during
programs, including some evenings and weekends.
