Integrity is looking for a dynamic and ambitious Chief of Party (COP) for the anticipated five-year United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Data, Evaluation, Learning, and Technical Assistance (DELTA) activity. The new DELTA design will support the Mission teams to allow agility and adaptability in the dynamic development context in Liberia; produce data-driven analyses to inform activity design and implementation; maintain a performance management system; and support data calls and reporting requirements that demand rapid assimilation and synthesis of various data points.
The COP will lead and manage the overall complex operations of the DELTA activities and ensure that quality standards and schedules are met. S/he will provide vision and overall leadership to program operations and serve as the primary point of contact with USAID on day-to-day activity implementation and management issues.
