MAG’s Cambodia programme
addresses the problems faced by mine-affected communities by providing
efficient, effective and safe clearance of land. In Cambodia MAG
undertakes minefield survey and clearance, EOD work (explosive ordnance

300 national staff, supported by a small team of international staff.
About the role:
As Country Director, you will spend time both in the capital, Phnom

management and the development of new business, in compliance with
contractual obligations and MAG’s mission and mandate. You will have a
wide variety of strategic responsibilities including contract

skills, leading a diverse team of international and national staff
operating across a geographically varied environment. You will also have
the opportunity to use your skills in business development and
stakeholder management, to take a leading role in donor development,
identifying funding opportunities in a demanding donor environment, and
working with a wide range of national and international actors.
About you:
As well as demonstrable skills in people, project and financial
management, you will need previous experience working overseas in senior
management roles and managing and leading large scale projects and/or
programmes, from project design through to contract delivery. You will
