Program Director
The Pacific Association of Supreme Audit Institutions (PASAI) is the Pacific region's official association of supreme audit institutions (SAIs – government audit offices and similar organisations). We promote transparent and accountable use of public resources in the Pacific by helping to improve the quality of public auditing, for the benefit of all Pacific peoples.
We're looking for a Pacific-based Program Director to lead PASAI's capability development programs.
Reporting to the Chief Executive, you'll be a senior leader in the PASAI Secretariat team and will work with a portfolio of SAIs alongside twinning partners (developed SAI members), technical supporters,
consultants, and other stakeholders to support the implementation of PASAI's strategic and operational plans.
To succeed in this role, you'll have:
- experience as a public sector auditor to at least Audit Manager level;
- specialisation in at least two of PASAI's program workstreams (financial audit, compliance audit, performance audit, investigations, audit quality, SAI independence, and SAI organisational development); and
- a relevant tertiary qualification in accounting and auditing or a qualification in law, forensic investigations, or performance auditing.
The role will be based in one of PASAI's supported countries, with a strong preference for the role to be based in the North Pacific. The role is home-based, or PASAI will arrange a workspace in your local SAI office if you prefer – you'll remain in your home country, with no relocation required. Residents of the following countries are encouraged to apply for this role: Federated States of Micronesia,
Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Kiribati, Guam, Marshall Islands, Nauru, and Palau.
At PASAI we have an Auckland-based Secretariat headquarters and a Director cohort located across the Pacific. Our work is funded by development partners (primarily the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade), and we have confirmed funding in place for the next five years. Because of this role's location outside of New Zealand, it will be structured as a contract for service through to June 2029, tied to our current funding agreements.
For more information, contact Esther Lameko-Poutoa, Chief Executive PASAI on +64 9 304 1275 or ***************@pasai.org or Sarah Markley, Deputy Secretary-General,
PASAI on +64 4 917 1500 or *************@oag.parliament.nz. For recruitment queries, please contact Sandy Hoggarth on +64 4 917 1500 or ***********@oag.parliament.nz
You must apply online through www.jobs.govt.nz (and you'll find the position description there, too).
Applications close Sunday 3 November 2024.
