Finance and Compliance Manager (FSM DoTC&I_ Program Management Unit) Pohnpei [open until filled]

 The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) Government is seeking well-qualified individuals for the position of Finance and Compliance Manager within the Division of Program Management Unit (PMU), under the Department of Transportation, Communication&Infrastructure (DoTC&I), FSM National Government, located in Palikir, Pohnpei, FM 96941.

Overview
The Federated States of Micronesia’s Department of Transportation, Communications, and infrastructure (Do TC&I) is responsible for the coordination of the FSM Infrastructure Development Program and is the Implementing Agency for a portfolio of infrastructure projects funded by the Compact of Free Association. FSM Infrastructure projects are submitted to the Joint Economic Management Committee (JEMCO) through the Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) for JEMCO concurrence. Within DoTC&I, the Program Management Unit (PMU) is mandated to oversee the implementation of major infrastructure projects, reporting to the Secretary of DoTC&I through the Program Manager. DoTC&I is now taking steps to strengthen the Department’s longer-term capacity to manage the implementation of major infrastructure projects and, to this end, is seeking to recruit a Financial and Compliance Manager..

Background
The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is made up of four semi-autonomous states (Kosrae, Pohnpei, Chuuk, and Yap) located between Palau and the Philippines to the west and the Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI) to the east. Although its land area covers just 700 square kilometers, FSM consists of more than 600 islands scattered over an area of about 2.6 million square kilometers, including its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). FSM faces significant challenges related to its small size, remoteness, geographical dispersion, environmental fragility and sensitivity to external shock. In particular, frequent natural disasters and climate change impose high costs and may even threaten the physical viability of some areas of both the main islands and more remote outer islands. Droughts, typhoons, storm waves, flooding and landslides all affect FSM.

Infrastructure Development Program
Infrastructure development in the FSM falls within the framework of the 2025 – 2034 Infrastructure Development Plan (IDP), which envisages an investment program of over $2.6 billion across 12 infrastructure sectors. Within the national Government, DoTC&I has the responsibility for the delivery of Compact Infrastructure and manages the overall program and delegates day-to-day project management tasks. The overarching objective of the assignment is to contribute to the technical work of the PMU in ensuring the effective management and delivery of the compact infrastructure program.

Purpose of the Role
The Financial and Compliance Manager will oversee financial management and compliance functions for the Program Management Unit, ensuring that Compact and ODA funding are managed in line with donor requirements, government regulations, and internal controls. The role provides strategic guidance on finance and compliance, supports decision-making, and ensures that financial integrity and accountability standards are maintained.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting for Compact and ODA-funded activities.
  • Establish and maintain internal controls, accounting systems, and compliance procedures.
  • Ensure adherence to donor financial and procurement requirements, government regulations, and PMU policies.
  • Review and approve financial reports, expenditure justifications, and compliance submissions before submission to donors and stakeholders.
