    EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR of the Caucasus Protected Areas Foundation



    The Caucasus Protected Areas Foundation was legally established in 2007 to
    conserve the unique biodiversity of the Caucasus Ecoregion by making grants
    to support national parks and nature reserves primarily in Armenia,
    Azerbaijan and Georgia. The Foundation was created as part of a joint
    initiative by the German Development Bank (KfW), Conservation International
    (CI), and WWF-Germany.



    The Foundation seeks the services of an Executive Director to manage its
    operations from its headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany. A significant amount
    of the Executive Director's time will be devoted to fundraising and building
    up the Foundation's capital endowment. The Executive Director will prepare a
    fundraising strategy, identify and meet with potential donors, negotiate the
    terms of grant agreements with donors, and travel within and outside the
    Caucasus countries in connection with fundraising efforts.



    In addition, the Executive Director will be responsible for the overall
    management of the Foundation, subject to the supervision of its Board of
    Directors, which currently consists of representatives of BMZ, CI and WWF.
    The Executive Director will represent and promote the Foundation's interests
    in dealings with the Governments of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan; local
    and international conservation NGOs; local and international businesses;
    multilateral and bilateral international donor agencies; and local and
    international media. The Executive Director will be responsible for the
    development and implementation of long-term strategic plans, annual
    operating plans, internal operations manuals and policies, and annual
    budgets for consideration and approval by the Foundation's Board.



    The Executive Director will be hired by the Foundation for an initial
    three-year appointment, subject to renewal on the basis of job performance.
    The Executive Director will initially be assisted by a Technical Director or
    Technical consultant who will be based in the Caucasus region and oversees
    implementation of the Foundation's grants for protected areas.
