About the Role
Sanivation has been a leader in determining what the City-Wide Inclusive Sanitation approach means in practice. Our work has helped define the approaches, methods, and outputs for what is a CWIS plan. We have been working with industry leaders from around the world as partners, clients, and funders. We have completed CWIS analysis and plans in 7 different locations across Kenya and in 2 other countries. These projects have spanned across not only geographic areas but stakeholders, situations, and scope of the work. Now this approach is gaining more traction, and demand for quality next generation strategic plans is growing rapidly.
Sanivation is looking for a new CWISP expert to take over this division in our company and lead the visionary work of creating strategic plans for next generation sanitation. This role will report directly to our COO and be the technical lead on all our CWISP work. Beyond just a technical expert, this role will give an opportunity to grow skills in product, project management and business development. This role will develop networks across funders, government, and private sector partners to shape how next generation sanitation can change the sanitation landscape.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about shaping what City-Wide InclusiveSanitation is and how we can grow this approach. We need a technical expert who has a record to show their expertise but who is interested in continuing to build this product and lead implementation projects.
