Senior Project Manager (Palestine)

Department: Campaigns

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Remote

Compensation: €4,000 - €5,000 / month

Description

Position overview

The Senior Project Manager owns operations execution and project management for the Palestine sub-team in coordination with Avaaz. This is a senior, hands-on delivery role: you will keep project workstreams on track, build the systems and reporting that give leadership visibility, ensure risk and security protocols are implemented, and turn strategy into reliable operational execution under real constraints.

You will coordinate and hold accountability across project owners rather than managing a team of direct reports. You are the person who makes sure deadlines are clear, blockers surface early, and work does not fall through the cracks. You report to the Thiqa project lead and work closely with project owners, Avaaz operations, HR and Finance teams, and partners on the ground.

Although the team works remotely most of the time, it is strongly preferred for this position to be in the West Bank, or that the candidate has a deep understanding of Palestine and who has worked there.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the central coordination point for the team, ensuring deadlines, deliverables, and priorities are clear, owned, and met across all project streams.
• Track and manage progress across concurrent projects, keeping a single reliable source of truth for status, owners, and next steps.
• Run the cadence: prepare and lead key project meetings, and follow up with each owner afterwards so momentum and deadlines hold.
• Prepare and share weekly project dashboards summarising status, blockers, risks, and next steps for leadership.
• Support and coordinate project owners rather than replacing them, stepping in directly only when a gap would otherwise stall delivery.
• Ensure security protocols are followed.
• Support donor cultivation and fundraising efforts.
• Coordinate cross-team and cross-organisational collaboration, including with partners and Avaaz departments.
• Track operational KPIs such as throughput and survey progress, and keep them visible.
• Build and maintain reporting that gives leadership real-time visibility into operational health.
• Use data to flag risks early and drive evidence-based decisions on prioritisation and resourcing.
• Design and document lightweight standard operating procedures (SOPs) that fit how the team actually works, so quality and consistency hold as the team scales.
• Analyse workflows to remove friction, cut cycle times, and reduce operational cost.
• Select and set up practical tooling to support project tracking and reduce manual work, matched to the team's context and adoption capacity.
• Support the operational delivery of team events and gatherings, in a high-security context.
• Anticipate operational risk, build contingency plans, and pivot quickly when conditions change.
