PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
Sector: Development & Fundraising
Location: Kenya
Employee Type: Regular
Employee Category: Full Time
Description
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps
people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers
lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today
in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted
and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

responsible for influencing donor strategies and raising awareness of IRC as a key post-conflict actor.

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
Sector: Development & Fundraising
Location: Kenya
Employee Type: Regular
Employee Category: Full Time
Description
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps
people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers
lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today
in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted
and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.
BACKGROUND:
The IRC is one of the leading providers of high quality programming in conflict and post-conflict settings
in Africa. In order to advance its mission of serving communities impacted by conflict and displacement,
the IRC is committed to developing innovative, context-specific programs in response to strategic
funding opportunities with a range of government and multilateral donors. This new business
development is led by the IRC’s Business Development Unit (BDU) in close collaboration with Regional
and Country management structures, the IRC’s Technical Units and a range of headquarter specialists
based in the USA and Europe.
SCOPE OF WORK:
The Program Development Director, working in close coordination with the BDU Director, Regional
Units, Country Offices and senior staff in IRC’s headquarter offices, will be responsible for building
relationships with key donors and monitoring, managing and coordinating IRC’s response to strategic
funding opportunities with such government and multilateral bodies such as the World Bank, USAID,
USDOL, EuropeAid, DFID, Sida and UN agencies in the IRC’s Africa regions. The incumbent will be
responsible for influencing donor strategies and raising awareness of IRC as a key post-conflict actor.
While the post’s geographic remit is the ensemble of IRC’s programs in Africa, the Program Development
Director will focus attention and effort on a subset of key strategic countries. This list will be reviewed
and adjusted periodically. In relation to this shortlist of priority countries, the incumbent will work
closely with country and regional management to design and implement appropriate, tailored business
development strategies, including deployment to the countries in question to lead responses to specific
business opportunities.
Based in Nairobi, Kenya, the Program Development Director will report to the BDU Director in New
York.
