Work Arrangement: In-person
Job Description
The IRC's Emergencies & Humanitarian Action Unit (EHAU) is responsible for IRC's global emergency preparedness and response activities.
The mission of the EHAU is to expand and improve IRC's ability to help affected communities survive in acute emergencies and hard to reach contexts by investing in people, systems, and solutions to complex humanitarian challenges.
The EHAU team achieves this mission through ongoing thorough risk analysis, investing in capacity strengthening of frontline humanitarians, partnership with local actors, offering collaborative support and technical assistance to teams working in emergencies and hard to reach places, and deploying and supporting world class emergency response staff as they help people affected by acute crisis situations.
Job Overview
The Quality in Emergencies (QiE) team is the largest pillar of EHAU and is made up of several emergency technical excellence teams.
These teams (which include health, violence prevention and response, cash/basic needs, partnerships, safeguarding, education, and MEAL) mirror the IRC's key programmatic areas of delivery but with a specialization in emergency humanitarian programing.
The ability of this heterogenous team to deliver quality programs that are successful in complex emergency situations is deeply dependent on its capacity to respond to emergencies as a collaborative and aligned team.
The Director, Program Quality and Performance in Emergencies will be responsible for ensuring this level of strategic alignment and quality performance within QiE is achieved, allowing EHAU to deliver high-quality programs at scale, to achieve impact through developing and maintaining systems, and to deliver strategic initiatives in line with S100 and the Emergencies SAP.
The Director will work across QiE and other EHAU pillars to support the alignment and integration of strategic QiE commitments, and through intradepartmental collaboration to engage on learning and performance through preparedness and response.
The role will establish and manage core routines, systems, and forums for the Quality in Emergencies pillar, focused on performance, coordination, and collaborative delivery.
It will likewise devise and manage large-scale, multi-sectoral projects critical to the success of the pillar and support the Senior Director's management and communication needs.
Finally, this role will articulate and measure performance of QiE by working closely with the Measurement, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) team to provide evidence-based analysis which would inform quality in emergencies decision making.
This position is managed by the Senior Director for Quality in Emergences and helps to steward shared direction and collaborative action across these teams and other stakeholders in EHAU.
The Director will work closely with colleagues across the EHAU pillars, including but not limited to Regional Emergency Directors and Senior Technical Advisors; and with counterparts outside EHAU focused on similar themes of program quality, technical strategy, and performance.
The Director, Program Quality and Performance in Emergencies will directly manage the Partnerships Technical Advisor and the Emergency Safeguarding Coordinator and will need to hone a supportive leadership approach and influencing skills to harmonize and enhance the delivery of programing in emergencies.
