Acumen, une organisation pionnière dans la lutte contre la pauvreté, recherche un(e) Safeguarding & ESG Manager pour renforcer ses équipes. Ce poste à temps plein, basé dans un environnement dynamique, est au cœur des programmes Green RISE, Pioneer et Academy.

En tant que Safeguarding & ESG Manager, vous serez responsable de la gestion du cadre de sauvegarde à travers ces initiatives. Vous dirigerez les activités de due diligence, surveillerez les risques et coordonnerez les réponses aux incidents. Vous travaillerez en étroite collaboration avec les équipes d'investissement, les partenaires externes et les entreprises sociales, et ferez rapport aux bailleurs de fonds d'Acumen.

Vos responsabilités incluront notamment : la gestion des politiques et procédures de sauvegarde, la conduite de due diligence sur les bénéficiaires et partenaires, la surveillance des risques, la gestion des mécanismes de signalement et de traitement des plaintes, ainsi que le soutien à l'intégration des critères ESG dans les stratégies d'investissement. Vous contribuerez également au renforcement des capacités des partenaires et au développement de nouvelles ressources de sauvegarde.

Pour réussir dans ce rôle, vous justifiez d'au moins 8 ans d'expérience en sauvegarde, ESG, investissement à impact ou finance durable, avec une expérience démontrée en sauvegarde. Une expérience directe dans la conception et la mise en œuvre de cadres de sauvegarde, idéalement avec des bénéficiaires ou partenaires en Afrique, est essentielle. Vous possédez une solide compréhension des normes de sauvegarde, de l'investissement axé sur le genre, des stratégies d'égalité et d'inclusion, ainsi que des politiques ESG. Un diplôme de licence dans un domaine pertinent est requis.

Vous faites preuve d'un esprit d'investigation, d'une capacité à synthétiser des données complexes, et d'un sens aigu de la proportionnalité. Vos compétences en gestion de projet, en organisation et en communication sont excellentes. Vous adhérez pleinement à la mission d'Acumen et incarnez ses valeurs fondamentales : générosité, responsabilité, humilité, audace, écoute, leadership, intégrité et respect. Vous êtes résilient(e) et capable de prospérer dans un environnement en constante évolution.

Si vous êtes prêt(e) à relever ce défi et à contribuer à un impact durable, nous vous invitons à postuler en visitant le site d'Acumen sur job-boards.greenhouse.io.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
