The selected candidate will manage one of GPE’s three regional teams, and all staff assigned to the region.

One position will be based in Paris. The other two will be based initially in either Paris or Washington, DC, but if Paris, the selected candidate will be expected to spend roughly a third of their time in DC for the first year.
