Country Lead – Inclusive Market Systems and Gender Justice
4 weeks ago
Application Deadline: 20 June 2025
CUSP is hiring two Country Leads to join a globally relevant initiative focused on advancing women's economic agency and addressing systemic resistance to gender inclusion within market and policy systems. This initiative will operate at the nexus of social protection, economic empowerment, and gender justice, with deep engagement in both Pakistan and Kenya.
About the Role
As Country Lead, you will be the national focal point for a high-impact research and policy engagement programme exploring how women's empowerment efforts are shaped and often constrained by backlash, social norms, and structural market barriers. You will manage in-country implementation, cultivate institutional partnerships, and facilitate locally grounded, evidence-based strategies for adaptive programming.
This role combines research leadership, systems thinking, and policy translation, offering a unique platform for influencing change across national institutions and community-level practice.
Key Responsibilities
Lead country-level coordination of research on gender backlash, market inertia, and institutional evidence use. Cultivate and manage partnerships with national ministries, social protection agencies, and relevant provincial/county stakeholders. Analyse how gender norms and market structures affect the uptake and sustainability of women-focused programmes. Facilitate co-design workshops, stakeholder dialogues, and policy reflection sessions. Contribute to comparative learning across Pakistan and Kenya with international technical teams. Prepare policy briefs, evidence syntheses, and strategic engagement materials.
Who We're Looking For
7–10 years of relevant experience in gender equality, inclusive market systems, or public policy reform.
Demonstrated understanding of social protection systems, community dynamics, and institutional decision-making. Proven experience working with government, donors, and research organisations. Strong leadership, facilitation, and stakeholder engagement skills. Excellent writing, communication, and policy translation abilities. A relevant postgraduate qualification in public policy, development economics, gender studies, or related disciplines.
What We Offer
A leadership role in a mission-driven, cross-country initiative
Competitive remuneration aligned with expertise and location
Opportunities for international collaboration and strategic influence
A values-driven organisational culture focused on impact and inclusion
How to Apply
Please send your CV and a one-page cover letter indicating your preferred location (Islamabad or Nairobi) to info@cuspinternational.com by 20 June 2025.
