Are you a skilled and seasoned leader of emergency and humanitarian responses? Are you interested to shape how the Danish Refugee Council responds to emergencies worldwide? Then you may be our coming global Head of Emergency in DRC. Read on!

Who are we?

Danish Refugee Council (DRC), one of the world’s leading humanitarian NGOs, works to save lives, promote durable solutions and address the root causes of displacement. We are present in 40 countries worldwide affected by conflict and displacement and work across the full cycle of displacement.

Our global emergency expertise is anchored in the Emergency Unit in DRC headquarters in Copenhagen. The Emergency Unit is charged with leading, building and enabling emergency response capability across the global organization, ensuring we are fit for purpose and mobilise and respond effectively to emergencies.

The position also provides oversight and direction to the Hard to Reach/Access strategic initiative, a Global 2025 strategic initiative aimed at enhancing DRC’s ability to gain access to Hard-to-Reach Populations across its country operations.

The Head of Emergency is a core member of the Programme Division management team and helps set overall direction for the division. It also sits alongside Executive Directors as a core member of the newly formed DRC Emergency Steering Group, providing global, organizational oversight and support to large-scale emergencies.

Specifically, the Head of Emergency will:

  • Lead and manage the emergency unit and technically manage regional emergency coordinators
  • Lead and manage the emergency unit’s project portfolio and deployable resources
  • Ensure and support strong organizational mobilization around large emergencies
  • Lead and develop DRCs global emergency programme platform
  • Champion and enhance organizational capability across DRC in emergency response
