Embedded in the city LGU, you will lead the city level team, supervise the Resilient Specialist and Climate Solutions Specialist, and oversee the implementation of the city-wide delivery of the CRC program and engagement with LGUs and local partners across all three outcomes. This position will ensure that the city level team has the supervision, resources and support necessary to tailor interventions to the specific context, and will flag issues that require special support from the CRC Project Manager, technical specialists, DCOP, and/or COP.
