Job Summary

TMA is seeking to attract dynamic and visionary individuals with a deep understanding of trade facilitation issues on the African continent, extensive development sector networks, continental

influence, and previous Board experience to join TMA’s Board. This role involves contributing to strategic direction, engaging with senior political stakeholders across the continent, and providing oversight of organisational performance and risk management. Non-Executive Directors will also participate actively in quarterly Board and Committee meetings as well as engagements with other governance bodies (the Council and the Chairs of the National Oversight Committees) and carry out responsibilities delegated by the Board.

The Board, in partnership with the senior leadership team, is crucial to TMA’s success in supporting the aspirations of Africa through the AfCFTA, Regional Economic Communities and national Governments to drive faster growth in trade volumes and to support linkages between regions across the continent. With the expansion of TMA’s previous core operational area of Eastern Africa to West Africa, Southern Africa, and the Horn of Africa, the focus on reducing barriers to trade and improving business competitiveness will continue to be a core element of tackling the trade challenges of the future as TMA pivots towards digitalization of trade processes, creating green trade corridors and supporting enhancements in implementing trade policy.

TMA is interested in candidates with experience in development programming, a deep understanding of trade facilitation and trade dynamics, and strong high-level continental networks. Candidates with experience in operating in Francophone and Southern African contexts are encouraged to apply.

Candidate(s) Profiles

TMA is seeking suitable candidates with one or more of the following attributes;

  • Deep understanding of trade facilitation and trade dynamics on the African continent
  • Development programming and professional public sector experience (minimum of 5 years of relevant experience)
  • Excellent high-level relevant networks
  • Bilingual proficiency in French and English is an advantage
  • Previous Board membership experience is an asset
  • While candidates with experience in all of TMA’s countries of operation are welcome to apply, experience in operating in Southern and Francophone African contexts is desirable
