Description: The Technical Assistance Manager plays a crucial role in our program, collaborating closely with the Country Managers to identify, scope, structure, and manage technical assistance activities for target investment companies. Support to these companies may involve a range of services to complete financial models, investment memoranda, ESG strategy development, sourcing strategies, market analysis, value chain diagnostics, etc. This multifaceted role involves defining technical assistance needs of companies with support of country managers, drafting ToR for the procurement of services, and identifying and managing external providers. The Technical Assistance Manager will also manage grants as an alternative implementing tool, allowing companies to directly procure technical assistance providers. Additionally, the manager is responsible for overseeing grantees and contractors hired to execute these TA activities, ensuring that all interventions are aligned with the strategic objectives of the program and delivered efficiently to enhance company performance and investment readiness.
