Job vacancies at SNV, Ethiopia

SNV Ethiopia is running a large, open call for consultants, advisors, and project staff across a dozen different workstreams, with deadlines spread between July 25 and August 10, 2026. The openings range from a Driver position on the Horti-LIFE Green Growth project to a Market Systems Development Advisor for the LIWAY project, plus several Terms of Reference (ToR) for specialized consultants to design digital platforms, training programs, and advisory services for micro and small enterprises (MSEs). Each vacancy has its own deadline, so the first step is to match your skills to a specific role and note its closing date. SNV is a not-for-profit international development organization founded in the Netherlands over 50 years ago. It maintains a long-term local presence in more than 26 countries across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Its global team of local and international advisors works with local partners to help communities, businesses, and organizations increase their incomes and gain access to basic services. The organization focuses on practical, market-based solutions rather than charity, aiming to equip people with the tools, knowledge, and connections they need to break the cycle of poverty and guide their own development. Working in Ethiopia means operating in a fast-growing economy with a young population and an expanding digital sector. Addis Ababa, where several of these roles are based, is the diplomatic hub of Africa and home to the African Union headquarters. The cost of living is relatively low compared to Western cities, though inflation has been a challenge in recent years. The work culture in international NGOs here is professional and collaborative, with a strong emphasis on local partnership and field-level impact. For international applicants, securing a work permit is typically handled by the employer, and most roles require a commitment to working closely with Ethiopian government bodies and local enterprises.
