Innovation Program Manager; Intra-Governmental Coordination Program Manager

The purpose of the USAID Improving Private Sector Competitiveness Activity (“Activity”) is to remove constraints and build the competitiveness of small and growing businesses (SGBs) in Vietnam, including those led by vulnerable populations. With this activity, USAID/Vietnam is supporting Vietnam’s competitiveness: vertically at the policy, market and firm level; and horizontally by working along the entire spectrum of enterprise growth models, from household businesses transforming into registered firms to small firms on the cusp of scaling up. Deloitte Consulting LLP (“Deloitte”) is implementing this Activity on behalf of USAID. The Agency for Enterprise Development of the Ministry of Planning and Investment is the Vietnam Government counterpart of IPS-C.

The Activity is made up of four interrelated Objectives:

• Objective 1. Building business management capacity of SGBs, including those led by vulnerable populations (particularly women and ethnic minorities),
• Objective 2. Improving efficiency and productivity by promoting innovation, technology adoption, and sustainable business models,
• Objective 3. Enhancing business enabling environment for a broad-based inclusive economy,
• Objective 4. Strengthening business-to-business (B2B) and cross-sectoral linkages.

We are looking for (i) an Innovation Program Manager to manage the implementation of activities that promote innovations and technology transfer to SBGs under Objective 2, aimed at helping SGBs identify and adopt new technologies to improve their competitiveness and market position; and (ii) an Intra-Governmental Coordination  Program Manager to manage implementation of activities that support completing some key Government of Vietnam (GVN) reform agendas by enhancing intra-GVN coordination under Objective 3.
