BACKGROUND

At OHF, we believe meaningful work creates lasting impact. We are looking for individuals who are committed, curious, and passionate about contributing to resilient and inclusive communities.

The position will lead efforts to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities facing climate-related risks such as water scarcity, ecosystem degradation, heat stress, and economic vulnerability through community-driven and climate-smart approaches.
The role will also support the integration of climate resilience into OHF programmes, partnerships, operations, and resource mobilization efforts while strengthening OHF’s positioning within Egypt’s climate and sustainable development landscape.
