At the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, we work with political leaders around the world to drive change. We help governments turn bold ideas into reality so they can deliver for their people. We do it by advising on strategy, policy and delivery, unlocking the power of technology across all three. And by sharing what we learn on the ground, so everyone can benefit. We do it to build more open, inclusive and prosperous countries for people everywhere.
We are a global team of nearly 800 changemakers, operating in more than 30 countries, across five continents. We are political strategists, policy experts, delivery practitioners, technology specialists and more. We speak more than 45 languages. We are working on over 100 projects, tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges. We’re all here at TBI to make a difference.
In a world of ever more complex challenges, we believe diversity of background and perspective is a strength. We pride ourselves on a culture that values and nurtures difference. We are dedicated to unlocking potential, not only for the countries we work in but also for each of our team members. No matter where you’re from or who you are, if you’re passionate about the transformative power of progressive politics, we invite you to build a better future with us.
Role Summary
The Government of Ghana is at a crossroads as it tries to balance kickstarting economic growth in a global economic crisis with limited fiscal space within the newly approved IMF facility. At the core of its growth agenda is to enhance and accelerate industrialisation, agricultural transformation, and create economic and employment opportunities at scale for the youth. The Government also wants to use digitization to formalize the economy, expand tax revenues, improve the ease of doing business and accelerate its drive for an efficient public sector.
The Manager will support our project portfolio of economic projects in Ghana, business development activities and horizontal offerings of expertise to our clients. This is an exciting role requiring exceptional candidates with relevant experiences and competencies. Managers must have the ability to operate with clients and across TBI with professionalism, confidentiality, integrity and diplomacy.
TBI Managers are problem-solvers able to support political leaders across all the dimensions at which we offer advice. Successful applicants will have an amazing career ahead of them. Whether they are at TBI Ghana and in TBI for a few years, or a large share of their career as they grow and progress within the Institute – their experience as a TBI Manager will position them to have a huge global impact. This role is ideal for the candidate who is passionate about politics and has the ability to create change by working in and with governments.
