Job Title_: Entrepreneurship & Networks Senior Advisor
- Project_: Business Egypt
- Reports to:_ Objective 1 Team Lead
- Location:_ Cairo, Egypt
- Period of performance:_ One year renewable
- **PROJECT BACKGROUND**

The Business Egypt Program is a five-year, USAID-funded program implemented by DAI. Business Egypt aims to substantially increase sales revenues and investments among Egyptian micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises and, by so doing, create new job opportunities, especially for women and youth. The project will co-invest with an ecosystem of institutions—business service providers, business associations, supportive government institutions, and more—to offer new products and services enabling MSMEs to better meet market demand and increase their sales. Business Egypt’s proposed sectors are renewable energy, ICT, and 3 additional sectors TBD. The project will operate from offices in Cairo, Alexandria, and Minya/Assiut (TBD).

**2. POSITION DESCRIPTION**

To assist new MSMEs to start up and accelerate business and employment growth under Objective I, Business Egypt team will need to strengthen the ecosystem to speed the growth of high-potential firms. Acceleration requires linkages to investors in early-stage firms, management expertise and coaching, and networks with anchor firm corporate mentors. Opportunities exist to help develop acceleration programs, expand into region, and define new services. Incubators that support sector specific start-ups can be linked to promising value chains to infuse value chain businesses with innovation and digitization.

Building the vibrant, high-functioning, and competitive ecosystem of innovative enabling institutions envisioned by Business Egypt will require a facilitative approach that places local institutions and the private sector in the lead in developing sustainable, market-based services, products, and solutions for MSME growth.

The Entrepreneurship & Networks Senior Advisor will work closely and report to Objective 1 Team Lead to design and implement interventions that:

- Use a facilitative ecosystem strengthening approach to respond to the needs of the private sector (anchor firms, MSMEs, start-ups) with new products and services
- Boost networks among women-focused ecosystem actors to improve youth and women’s access to mentors, finance, and information

The Entrepreneurship & Networks Senior Advisor will coordinate effectively with the other team members, cross cutting teams and Objective Leads to optimize the impact of Business Egypt results.

**3. KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES**
- Work with and through a variety of ecosystem stakeholders to expand the reach and effectiveness of the women Entrepreneurs Network (WEN) and Tiye Angels
- Build networks with the private sector, investors, and financial institutions to increase opportunities for women as business owners and workers, especially in underserved areas
- Support the governance structure of the different networks through legal registration or other means as agreed with the respective network’ executive teams
- Extend technical assistance and capacity building as needed to the Women Entrepreneurs Network (WEN) and Tiye Angels to sustainably scale up
- Work with the networks to create and forge strategic partnerships, build linkages with national and international stakeholders, donor organizations, private sector, and other networks.
- Expand and build the network’s communities to include new members and increase outreach
- Negotiate partnership agreements with key stakeholders to strengthen a sustained entrepreneurship ecosystem.
- Responsible for all written project deliverables related to the 2 networks (input into the workplan, routine project reports, special studies, inputs to USAID reports, etc.)
- Manage short-term project staff in relevant activities and oversee development of needed products (reports, materials, tools)

**4. QUALIFICATIONS**
- Demonstrated expertise in MSME, start-up, investment, and employment growth;
- Demonstrated experience in working with women and youth networks on the area of entrepreneurship, access to investment and mentorship;
- Comprehensive knowledge of the entrepreneurship ecosystem, its players, challenges, and opportunities;
