About the Job

We are looking for a hands-on, self-driven Programme Coordinator to lead the day-to-day delivery of the ED Programme for 12 months. The person must be comfortable managing programme implementation, working directly with small businesses, and producing compliance-grade reports for IPP funders.

This is an independent role; the right candidate needs minimal supervision and must have the ability to manage multiple stakeholders with confidence.

Key Responsibilities
Implement the ED Programme according to the approved framework and IPP funding agreements, including developing and tracking a Programme Implementation Plan.

Identify, onboard, and support qualifying SMMEs — coordinating business development mentorship, training, and access-to-finance interventions.

Track KPIs and conduct regular monitoring of beneficiary enterprises; maintain a live M&E framework capturing enterprise growth, job creation, and sustainability outcomes.

Prepare and submit quarterly and annual ED compliance reports to each IPP, including expenditure statements, beneficiary data, evidence portfolios, and outcome summaries.

Maintain a compliance calendar; support IPP verification agents and audits as required.

Manage programme budgets and service provider procurement in line with ICA financial policies.

Liaise with IPPs, community structures, and enterprise support partners; represent ICA at relevant forums.

Requirements
Relevant degree (Development Studies, Business Administration, Project Management, or similar); PM qualification advantageous.

Minimum 5 years' experience in programme or project management — enterprise development, community development, or the renewable energy/IPP sector preferred.

Proven experience preparing compliance reports for IPPs, DFIs, or donor-funded programmes.

Sound understanding of the REIPPP landscape and ED/SED requirements; knowledge of BBBEE legislation a plus.

Strong financial literacy, excellent communication skills, and proficiency in MS Office.

Valid driver's licence and own reliable vehicle.
