Be Part of Something Transformational
CARE is reimagining how we deliver impact across the globe. We are not just improving our supply chain—we are transforming it. And we need a dynamic leader to help us bridge the gap between global vision and on-the-ground reality across East Southern Africa.

The Opportunity
As our Roving Supply Chain Lead, you will be the vital connection between CARE's global Supply Chain network and our Country Offices across the region. This isn't a desk job. You will be mobile, responsive, and deeply embedded in the operations that matter most, working alongside teams to strengthen procurement, logistics, fleet management, and emergency preparedness when it counts.

You will have the unique opportunity to shape how supply chain excellence is delivered across multiple countries while contributing directly to CARE's global Supply Chain Transformation Project. Your insights from the field will inform global policies. Your expertise will build local capacity. Your leadership will drive measurable performance improvements.

What You Will Do

• Drive operational excellence – Provide expert technical guidance to Country Office Supply Chain teams to strengthen systems in procurement, logistics, warehousing, fleet management, and distribution.
• Champion performance and learning – Build capacity, mentor Supply Chain leaders, and promote a culture of continuous improvement and planning across countries.
• Lead transformation and innovation – Partner with the Global Supply Chain team to roll out new policies, tools, and technologies that advance CARE's Supply Chain Transformation agenda.
• Enable emergency readiness – Ensure preparedness and rapid response in humanitarian emergencies through strong supply chain planning and readiness initiatives.
• Manage risk and strengthen compliance – Identify and mitigate operational risks, ensure donor compliance, and embed strong accountability measures.
• Collaborate for impact – Work across global, regional, and country teams to align strategies, share insights, and influence decision-making that drives CARE's broader regional and global goals.

Why This Role Matters
Supply chain is not just logistics—it's the backbone of how CARE delivers life-changing programs to the world's most vulnerable communities. In humanitarian emergencies, your work directly impacts how quickly we can respond. In long-term development programs, your systems determine our efficiency and reach.

You will report to the Global Supply Chain Director while maintaining dotted-line connections to CO Supply Chain Leads and Regional Business Services Leads. This unique position gives you influence across multiple levels of the organization and the chance to drive systemic change.

Why Now, Why CARE
This is a pivotal moment. CARE's Supply Chain Transformation Project is creating new ways of working, new standards of excellence, and new opportunities for innovation. You will be joining at a time when your contributions will have lasting impacts, shaping policies, building capabilities, and establishing practices that will serve CARE for years to come.

If you are energized by the prospect of building something better, working across borders and cultures, and making supply chain excellence a competitive advantage for humanitarian impact—we want to hear from you.

Required Qualifications
You bring 5+ years of proven experience in procurement, logistics, or administration in Country Office or regional field settings. But more than that:

• You are decisive under pressure—able to assess rapidly changing situations and move operations forward with limited guidance
• You balance strategic vision with operational detail, seeing both the macro picture and the micro realities
• You are a natural connector with strong relationship-building skills and a genuine service mindset
• You excel at facilitation and training, translating complex concepts into actionable guidance
• You are culturally sensitive and adaptable, developing solutions that honor local contexts while advancing CARE's mission
• You thrive in ambiguity and stress, maintaining focus even in risky or challenging conditions
• Your written and spoken English is excellent, enabling clear communication across diverse stakeholders.
