USINDO JAKARTA REPRESENTATIVE

Vacancy Announcement: USINDO JAKARTA REPRESENTATIVE

The United States-Indonesia Society (USINDO) is seeking a dynamic, self-motivated individual, committed to deepening the U.S.-Indonesia relationship and able to develop and manage programs to accomplish that, for the position of USINDO Jakarta Representative, starting in January 2010 or earlier.

The United States-Indonesia Society was formed in 1994 by Indonesians and Americans who believe better mutual understanding is in the national interest of both countries. It is a not-for-profit organization with offices in Jakarta and Washington, DC. The mission of USINDO is to improve understanding of Indonesia among Americans and the understanding of America among Indonesians, including the areas of politics, economics, history, culture, and to improve the U.S.-Indonesian bilateral relationship. The mission is accomplished through creative work and programs with leaders in government and nongovernmental organizations, educators, the media, business, and the general public. The prospect of a U.S.-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership in 2010 is an especially important development for USINDO's mission of supporting bilateral cooperation and improving mutual understanding.

The Jakarta Representative is integral to USINDO's mission, and works closely with the President and staff of the Washington, DC office.

The Representative is expected to play a pro-active role in developing and proposing new USINDO programs, strategies for outreach to new audiences and members, and the day-to-day management of Indonesia-based activities. In addition, the Representative follows current Indonesian events; informs the Washington office of Indonesian developments; and builds contacts with relevant organizations, individuals, and government bodies in Indonesia to expand USINDO's knowledge, role, and impact.
