The Foundation's global mandate is to enable people living in poverty to improve their lives – and the lives of their families and communities – by expanding their access to microfinance and education. The Foundation's vision is to make the economy work for everybody by advancing effective and innovative programs in microfinance and youth learning. Through our programming, we aim to create opportunities for people – especially young people – who are or who want to become economically active to harness their own skills and resources to improve their quality of life.  The next few years will be a period of tremendous growth for the Foundation.  Long-term, the Foundation expects to commit approximately $100 million in total to its programs annually.     

Reporting to the Director, Youth Learning, the Senior Program Manager will work with the youth learning program team to implement their strategy for enabling young people in developing countries, particularly in Africa, to successfully negotiate the school-to-work transition. The goal is to prepare youth to engage in the economy and lead change in their communities.  The successful candidate will have significant program management experience in youth learning or a relevant area.  In addition, he/she will bring an entrepreneurial spirit and a results-driven approach.
