South / Midwest

Position:  Finance Director

Organization:  City of Miami

Location:  Miami, FL

Deadline: Open Until Filled

 

Key Information/Job Description

  • The City of Miami is an international crossroads and known for its range of lifestyles, high-rise skyline, exciting entertainment venues, recreational opportunities, and ethnic diversity. Located between Biscayne Bay and the Florida Everglades, Miami's is colorful, magnetic, diverse and exotic. Ever evolving, Miami is surging as a major international player and gateway for businesses from the south moving north and for U.S. corporations looking to Central and South America. What is unknown to many, however, the City has a growing and increasingly influential European and Asian presence - both physically and economically. It appears the Chinese could well become an economic driver in the community.
  • Miami is seeking a bright, proactive, dynamic, thoughtful and seasoned financial professional - a strong leader and a manager. Miami wants its Finance Director to take the department to the next level and there is no time to waste. It is important that the individual have strong financial skills, but more important that the next Finance Director see and understand the big picture. In other words, this position is not for a high level accountant but rather someone who can anticipate the future, understand how the City fits into its environment, capitalize on trends and solve big problems.
  • While being diplomatic, open, direct, outwardly easy going and cooperative, the Finance Director will have a high degree of integrity and strong ethical foundation. As in any large, urban environment, the interests of some do not always align with the interests of the City and its residents as a whole and it is quite possible, even likely, that the Finance Director will be challenged by parties and interest groups with their own goals and objectives. The ideal candidate will have an inner confidence and not be shaken easily. The key will be to understand what is happening and why, and then to stay above the fray, always having the City's best interests in mind. This position is highly visible and a thick skin is required.

  • The Senior Policy Advisor will work closely with the Health and PEPFAR teams. His/her primary role will be as technical advisor and liaison to the GAC, other GoG agencies and at a later stage, also to Coordinating Officers at the Regional level, e.g. in relation to joint US/GoG interventions as well as in relation to interventions funded by TGF.

It is, for instance, important to facilitate a transition from public-health based programs for these groups to programs that are reinforced by an explicit human-rights approach. The Advisor informs the USAID Health Office, advising them on policy developments and will serve as a source of monitoring information for G2G activities.
