Job Overview: The International Rescue Committee’s approach to policy and advocacy places great focus on robust policy and solution development and strategic engagement with global policy makers. This role will be responsible for leading a team that will be developing scalable, high-impact and pragmatic solutions. You seek to make the most of IRC’s knowledge across teams and, where relevant, look for new and creative partnerships outside the organization to deepen IRC’s diagnosis of policy issues and development of surgical, specific solutions. In particular, you work closely with our program colleagues to bridge into a vast network of subject matter experts and effectively prioritize. Your team is bold, quick moving, open to new ideas, and collaborative, working in lockstep with IRC’s broader External Relations Department to deliver on shared policy, profile and funding objectives and in particular, partnering closely with our Communications colleagues and President’s Office. You manage a global team of policy experts and serve as a thought partner for the CEO, COO and VP of Policy and Advocacy. You are a connector and an entrepreneur. You develop relationships with experts in understanding crisis, those who are leading the development of innovative solutions, and visionaries for funding reforms to benefit IRC’s clients and support of the IRC’s bold Strategy 100.
