CARE Canada is looking for a Director, Long- Term Development Programs  



ABOUT THE ROLE 



CARE Canada is part of a global confederation working to end poverty and achieve social justice, with a strong focus on advancing gender equality. Our Strategic Plan — From Caring Comes Courage (2021–2027) — commits us to unlocking women's leadership for a gender-just future. We know that for women to lead change, they must be safe, healthy, and have dignified livelihoods. As global development and humanitarian assistance continue to evolve, CARE Canada is transforming to remain agile, innovative, and fit-for-purpose. We're linking gender equality, climate resilience, and local leadership with inclusive economic growth — and we're looking for a bold, strategic leader to help shape that future.

The Director, Long-Term Development Programs provides strategic leadership across CARE Canada's long-term development portfolio and oversees our operations in Cuba. As a member of the Global Programs Executive Team, they will nurture an inclusive, empowering environment where all staff can thrive, leading a team of 10–12 development professionals to design and deliver impactful, gender-transformative, and locally led programs.

They will champion program excellence, accountability, and innovation — advancing localization, decolonization, and feminist leadership. Working closely with colleagues across humanitarian response, advocacy, and fundraising, they will strengthen integration between program delivery and storytelling to drive learning, influence, and partnership growth.

The Director will also engage directly with Global Affairs Canada and other key government departments to position CARE as a trusted and forward-thinking partner in Canada's evolving international cooperation landscape. Additionally, they will oversee CARE's operations in Cuba, coordinating across departments and partners, maintaining relationships with donors and the Cuban Embassy, and fostering new collaboration opportunities.

Finally, the Director will play a pivotal role in resource mobilization — identifying new funding and partnership opportunities, supporting program design, and advancing innovative models such as blended finance and public–private collaboration to sustain and grow CARE Canada's development impact.

WHAT YOU BRING 

5+ years' senior management experience in international development, leading multi-country or multi-sector teams. Strong understanding of Global Affairs Canada funding mechanisms and proven ability to engage government counterparts. Demonstrated experience in building and managing partnerships with the private sector, foundations, and/or impact investors. Proven leadership in program innovation, localization, and adaptive management in complex environments. Exceptional skills in cross-team collaboration, financial oversight, and results-based management. Strong political acumen and representational ability across government, donor, and sectoral spaces. Commitment to gender equality, decolonization, and feminist leadership.
