Senior Advisor, GAC Framework Manager

**Background**

International Rescue Committee is among the world’s leading nonprofit humanitarian relief and development organizations. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC’s mission is to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future. The organization is on the ground in more than 40 countries, providing emergency relief and rebuilding lives in the wake of disaster. Through 26 regional offices in cities across the United States, we also help refugees resettle in the US and become self-sufficient.

We’re striving to build an organization that is a supportive, kind and inspiring place to work. We encourage bold leadership, innovation, creative partnerships and accountability to those we serve.

Having worked extensively with Canadian institutional partners over a number of years, IRC is establishing a presence in Canada and aims to strengthen its global mission through expanding its engagement with Canadian partners.

**Crisis Response, Recovery and Development Department (CRRD)**

IRC’s Crisis Response, Recovery and Development Department (CRRD) implements a portfolio of humanitarian relief, post-crisis recovery, and development programs. CRRD is made up of four teams, each with a specific area of expertise: the Awards Management Unit, the Emergency Unit, Program Delivery, and Technical Excellent. CRRD’s work focuses on five key areas: ensuring safety from harm, improving health, increasing access to education, improving economic well-being and ensuring people have the power to influence decisions that affect their lives. In all CRRD programs, there is a drive to address the unique needs of women and girls (who represent the majority of those displaced) – and the universal barriers they face.
