*Inveneo is looking for a hands-on Senior Project Manager with deep
experience in implementing computing and wireless networking projects
internationally – preferably in developing countries.*

*MISSION*

Inveneo is a 501c3 nonprofit social enterprise, which means that we operate
like a business with a social mission. Our mission is to get the tools of
technology, through computing and regional networking, to organizations
operating in rural and highly underserved communities of the developing
world.

Our model is built on development, not aid. We operate in a number of
countries. We work with local partners to develop homegrown ability to
deliver quality communications technology and alternative power solutions.
The organizations we serve address some of the most pressing problems in
their communities: health care, education, economic opportunity and
infrastructure.

The preferred Senior Project Manager will have experience leading
multi-year, large-scale technical implementation projects (up to 100

Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda. The position will be based in San Francisco,
CA, and will require significant travel in austere locations.

   - Develop and lead schedules and priority setting.
   - Work with others on project management team to develop consistent,
   useful project management processes as the Inveneo portfolio of projects
   grows.

*Examples of Potential Projects*

   - Implementing regional rural broadband network with 1 – 3 local ISPs in
   a country in Africa.
   - Implementing a range of software, computing and networking
   infrastructure solutions (including solar and battery power systems) in 500
   rural schools.
   - Implementing a regional broadband network and complete computing and
   server infrastructure for rural clinics, hospitals and dispensaries.

*Required Skills and Experience*

   - 5 – 10 years experience in project management, with larger scale
   project experience.
   - Experience in systems integration projects – software, computing,
   networking and all elements for delivering, including skills
   transfer/training.
   - Leading projects with multiple external partners and contractors to
   deliver results for external clients.
   - International project management experience, preferably in developing
   countries.
   - Highly collaborative work style, must play well with others on the
   Inveneo team.
