The IRC began working in Jordan in 2007, providing assistance to refugees from Iraq. With the onset of the Syrian civil war in 2012, the IRC scaled operations to meet mounting needs in both camp and non-camp settings. Today, the IRC delivers emergency and long-term services – including integrated health and protection, economic support, and education – to refugees and vulnerable host communities across the country. Prioritizing sustainability and long-term impact, the IRC engages civil society organizations, government, and other key stakeholders in partnerships and capacity strengthening.
Objective
The International Rescue Committee is looking for strategic leaders, technical specialists, and project managers to work on the USAID-funded Survivor’s Access to Protection from Domestic Violence Activity (SAPDVA) in Jordan. SAPDVA is a five-year, multi-million dollar USAID project in Jordan with an anticipated start date in early 2022. The project will aim to advance women’s rights, enhance access to quality protection services, and expand social services to women who are at-risk of and/or victims of domestic abuse. This will be achieved by: 1) enhancing screening, reporting, protection, and litigation services provided by national stakeholders; 2) supporting the availability and quality of services provided by national stakeholders; and 3) supporting systemic improvement in policy implementation and multi-stakeholder coordination to advance the protection framework.
SAPDVA will be delivered by a project-specific leadership structure working closely with IRC Jordan country program teams and global technical advisors. The IRC is seeking candidates to fill the following roles in the project-specific leadership structure:
• Deputy Chief of Party – Technical
• Deputy Chief of Party – Operations
• Grants and Compliance Manager
• Partnerships Manager
• Safeguarding and Protection, Systems and Policy Change, Health, Women’s Empowerment, and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEAL) Lead
These are senior positions that require outstanding leadership, strategic thinking, and organizational, team-building, and representational skills. They will be responsible for the oversight of the project in Jordan. They are envisaged to be full-time and will be based in Amman, Jordan; travel to the areas of implementation may be required, subject to COVID-19 restrictions. We encourage open applications for roles in the project from qualified candidates.
