Program Manager (vocational training program)

About Malengo

Malengo currently supports low-income, high-ability students in Uganda in applying for and completing a Bachelor’s degree or refugees in Kenya seeking to do vocational training in Germany. By 2030, we aim to support students from most low-income and lower-middle income countries, and facilitate undergraduate studies in more than a dozen destination countries. Our program is sustainable by combining a strong network of volunteer mentors with a financial model in which students support future generations of scholars once they earn a high enough income (Income Share Agreements, ISAs).

Three complete cohorts of Malengo students, which comprise about 150 young people, are already in Germany. The first of these students will soon be completing their studies. Around 100 more students have just arrived this fall and will continue to arrive until the spring of 2025.

In addition, around 100 young people will be coming to Germany to start vocational training (mostly in nursing) in the fall of 2025. These young people are currently attending intensive German language training in Kenya. Most of them are refugees in Kenya, mainly from South Sudan and Somalia. They constitute the first cohort of Malengo TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) scholars.

We are now looking for a Program Manager to lead and continue to build this new TVET program in Germany in collaboration with our Germany and Kenya teams!

Responsibilities include:

  • Overseeing and developing all aspects of the new TVET program in Germany:
    • Working closely with the Malengo team in Kenya and Germany to ensure a good immigration experience for scholars (preparation workshops, bureaucratic support, travel logistics).
    • Taking care of scholars’ needs in Germany and planning workshops and events for them.
    • Running the Malengo mentorship program for TVET scholars and training mentors.
    • Overseeing the Malengo Career Manager who is charged specifically with placing scholars in vocational training institutions.
  • Leading strategy formulation and implementation around the new TVET program:
    • Setting up and monitoring progress towards program budgets, goals and timelines.
    • Owning and refining the process by which TVET scholars are selected for participation in the program.
    • Working with Malengo’s Product Manager to improve processes, introduce efficiencies and get the program ready to scale to reach many more students in the coming years.
    • Coming up with “success strategies” for TVET scholars in Germany, i.e. ways to ensure they pass their exams, integrate successfully into the working world, etc.

About the candidate

  • We seek someone who is highly motivated, culturally sensitive and able to take a fledgling program off the ground successfully. You might be the ideal candidate if you recognize yourself in these descriptions:

    • You are inspired by Malengo’s mission and you take a true interest in the personal and professional success of the Malengo TVET scholars.
    • You have significant experience managing the design, strategy and implementation of a complex project.
    • You have emotional intelligence and are able to work with individuals of different cultural backgrounds. You can develop and maintain relationships with administrative partners, vocational training institutions, and other stakeholders.
    • You are very organized and good at overseeing many different stakeholders, processes and timelines.
    • You are experienced in working with migrants and/or vocational training students. Experience in working with refugees and/or familiarity with East African countries is a plus.
    • You are familiar with Germany’s TVET system, ideally in the healthcare sector.
    • You speak very good English (C1) and good German (B2). The knowledge of other East African or European languages is a plus (e.g. Swahili, Dinka, Somali, Arabic, French).
    • You hold a tertiary education degree in any subject (e.g. vocational training, Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD).
    • You are based in Germany.
    • You are willing to engage in regular business trips (around once per month).

What we offer

  • Competitive salary commensurate with background and experience (EUR 55,000 – 65,000 p.a.)
  • Permanent employment contract
  • 30 vacation days and regulated overtime compensation
  • Flexible remote work with regular team meetings in Germany/Uganda/Kenya
  • Collaboration with a highly motivated international team
  • The opportunity to help shape a young start-up and have a positive impact on the lives of many young people and their families

Mission
Malengo facilitates international educational migration in pursuit of poverty alleviation.
01
Student welfare
Our goal is to improve the lives of the students we work with. When organizational goals seem in conflict, student welfare trumps other concerns (e.g. growth). We work for the students. Have a service mindset towards them.
02
Staff welfare
The health and happiness of our staff are more important than the work. Staff mental health is a necessity, not a luxury. Taking vacations and time off is essential. We are kind to each other. We communicate our needs. We address conflicts proactively.
03
Dedication to evidence
We are dedicated to rigorous evaluation of our success. We are constantly trying to disprove our model. If we find that we are causing harm, or not having a positive impact, we change the program.
04
A culture of learning
We try to learn quickly and fearlessly, personally and as an organization. We challenge others and welcome being challenged. We are not afraid to be wrong. We let go of bad ideas joyfully and without our ego getting in the way.
05
Openness and honesty
We strive to communicate openly and honestly. We own up to mistakes immediately and without sugar-coating. We respond to others’ mistakes calmy and supportively. We give kind, constructive feedback to subordinates. We “manage back” proactively to superiors.
06
Inclusivity and diversity
We strive towards a culture of tolerance and welcoming. We don’t judge, make fun of, or gossip about others’ identity, culture, preferences, and habits. We address conflicts proactively. Intolerance has no place at Malengo.
07
Planned obsolescence
Our ultimate goal is to become obsolete as an organization. We are dedicated to the mission, but not the organization. We have a collaborative, not a competitive mindset vis-à-vis other organizations working towards similar goals.
08
Staff welfare
The health and happiness of our staff are more important than the work. Staff mental health is a necessity, not a luxury. Taking vacations and time off is essential. We are kind to each other. We communicate our needs. We address conflicts proactively.
