• 10 roles. 3 provinces. 1 mission: climate-resilient farming for PNG.
• From provincial coordination to national leadership — pick your role.
• Real impact, real careers — help PNG farmers adapt and thrive.

About the Organisation and the Project

The South Pacific Community (SPC) — the region's principal intergovernmental organisation, working across the Pacific since 1947 — and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), a treaty-based international body supporting sustainable development, have partnered with Papua New Guinea's Department of Agriculture and Livestock (DAL) to deliver the Agriculture Sector Support Activity (ASSA).

Formally known as the Adaptation of Small-Scale Agriculture for Improved Food Security of Resilient Communities in Papua New Guinea, ASSA is a landmark, multi-year initiative that will work directly with farming communities across Enga, Milne Bay and New Ireland Provinces. Its purpose is to strengthen food security, build climate-resilient agricultural practices and help communities better anticipate, prepare for and respond to climate variability and climate-related shocks — with DAL acting as the Implementing Agency and SPC and GGGI providing funding and technical backing.

About This Recruitment

To build the team that will lead this work, ASSA has partnered with Peopleconnexion to manage end-to-end recruitment for its Project Management Unit (PMU) — a ten-person team responsible for delivering the project on the ground. These roles give you the opportunity to contribute to regional or national impact, and the chance to be part of a program that will shape climate adaptation practice in PNG agriculture for years to come.

If you want a career that puts you at the centre of one of PNG's most significant climate adaptation investments, Peopleconnexion wants to hear from you.

About the Role

Great field projects run on great operations. As Administration and Logistics Manager, you'll keep the ASSA PMU moving — managing people, travel, assets, events, records and facilities so the rest of the team can focus on delivering for communities across three provinces, including in remote and geographically dispersed locations.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide high-quality administration, logistics and operational support across the PMU.
• Manage personnel administration, travel arrangements, assets, facilities and records.
• Coordinate logistics for provincial and remote field activities and events.
• Establish and improve administrative systems and business processes.
• Support the PMU to respond efficiently to disruptions, including climate-related events and emergencies.

What You'll Bring

• A bachelor's degree in business administration, management, logistics, public administration, HR management, operations or related field.
• A proven record delivering administrative, operational or logistical support that enabled successful project or program outcomes.
• Experience coordinating logistics across complex or geographically dispersed environments.
• Strong systems, process-improvement and problem-solving skills.
• The flexibility and resilience to operate in remote or resource-constrained settings.

Why Join the ASSA Team?

• Be part of a landmark, multi-year climate adaptation program with real, visible impact for PNG farming communities.
• Competitive remuneration aligned to PNG Public Service General Orders (and SPC salary bands for specialist roles).
• Work alongside a capable, mission-driven, multidisciplinary team backed by SPC, GGGI and DAL.
• A fixed-term contract for the duration of the project (up to five years), subject to performance and funding.
