Judicial Reform Coordinator

Chemonics International Inc., a leading international consulting firm based in Washington, D.C., seeks an Indonesian or expatriate professional for a USAID-funded project in anti-corruption which is a 2 year program that runs through April of 2009. There are two major reform efforts under MCC ICCP¢s Judicial Reform Component, Task 1, currently underway in Indonesia¢s judicial system. The first is an effort to make the courts into an independent branch of government by transferring the administration of the courts from the Executive Branch (primarily the Ministry of Law and Human Rights) to the judiciary itself, under the Supreme Court.

At the same time, the Supreme Court, which has always managed its own internal administration, is re-organizing itself to improve its own performance. Efforts are underway to increase Court oversight and improve the quality of court employees, both of which will help reduce opportunities for corrupt activities within
the court system and foster greater independence.
Responsibilities include: The Judicial Reform Coordinator serves as the manager and coordinator of MCC ICCP Task 1: Judicial Reform. In this role, he or she helps ensure that the many Task 1 activities with the Supreme Court (Activity 1: Human Resources Management, Activity 2: Budget and Asset Management and Activity 3: Transparency) are achieved effectively and within project deadlines. On the program side, the Judicial Reform Coordinator will use his or her management and technical skills to help the MCC ICCP Task 1 team, short-term technical specialists, and Indonesian and U.S. subcontractor teams accomplish the Task 1 activities. The judicial reform coordinator will liaise extensively with the Supreme Court Reform Team and technical divisions within the Supreme Court.
This position is based in Jakarta and starts as soon as possible.

The Coordinator will work very closely with counterparts to drive the project towards meeting MCC ICCP¢s aggressive targets and goals. As such, this individual must have the following qualifications:

· At least seven years of relevant professional experience, including direct technical experience on judicial or legal reform, anti-corruption, transparency or other related areas, including at least three years field work in a developing country setting.
· At least five years experience as a manager or supervisor. Demonstrated effective team supervision experience, including on a field project or office.
