Do you want to be part of a global team of humanitarian professionals who help DRC Senior Management Teams to excel operationally? We are looking for a Senior Operations Advisor (maternity cover).

Who are we?

The Operational Support and Oversight section (OSO) within DRC’s HQ-Operations Department (HQ-OPS) provides the global support and oversight needed to sufficiently mitigate the risks DRC is exposed to across our implementing entities globally. The section continuously does so by enabling our 4 Regional Offices and 40 Country Offices to proactively identify and mitigate operational risks and by promoting and supporting decision-making that efficiently aligns with DRCs internal global standards and policies, and with external laws and regulations in the countries we operate.

About the job

The Senior Operations Advisor (SOA) plays a crucial role in advancing operational standardization and ensuring global consistency, aligning with DRC's 2025 Strategy, HQ-OPS Department Strategy, and OSO work plans. Additionally, the SOA serves as a key support resource at headquarters (HQ) for Regional Offices (ROs), Country Offices (COs), and other implementing entities, offering expertise in rolling-out and using DRC's operational tools, policies, and frameworks.

The Senior Operations Advisor (SOA) fulfils a multifaceted role with a focus on enhancing operational effectiveness and ensuring alignment with DRC's strategic objectives. This includes:

  • Risk Management Support: Facilitating COs and ROs in meeting their risk management obligations by fostering ongoing collaboration and engagement among colleagues. This encompasses actively aiding ROs and COs in proficiently utilizing DRC's global Risk Registers (RRs) as a year-round management tool, all while concurrently providing rigorous technical quality assurance (QA) support. In cases demanding immediate attention, the SOA takes proactive steps to mobilize and coordinate relevant technical support resources, often tapping into the expertise available at HQ.
  • Operational troubleshooting: Serving as the primary point of contact at HQ for complex operational challenges that necessitate high-capacity facilitation, engagement, and coordination across multiple departments and stakeholders within DRC. The SOA collaborates closely with colleagues in ROs and COs to proactively address operational challenges faced on the ground by identifying and implementing practical solutions.
  • Case Handling: Assisting COs and ROs in providing support in on specific high-risk cases in a timely, cost-efficient, and hands-on manner. The SOA actively collaborates with ROs and COs to identify practical operational solutions to cases, alleviating pressures on SMTs thereby ensuring smooth operational continuity within DRC's COs and ROs.
  • Global Support Capacity: Concurrently, the SOA shares pertinent information, including both RO and CO-specific insights and global lessons learned, with relevant global technical leads throughout the organization. This knowledge exchange is essential to maintaining policies, tools, and frameworks that remain user-friendly and effective for colleagues in COs and ROs. The SOA also support that operational deliverables stemming from Internal Audits and Code of Conduct reports are diligently followed up on.
  • Global Roll-out of Policies, Tools, and Frameworks: Offering direct and ongoing support and follow-up assistance to colleagues in COs and ROs during roll-out of essential global compliance tools, such as the Project Cycle Management (PCM) Field Guide, Online Risks Register, etc. ensuring smooth integration into their operational practices.

As a crucial prerequisite, the SOA is expected to maintain a comprehensive operational understanding of designated countries. This responsibility is at the core of HQ-OPS’ and OSO's mission, enabling DRC to conduct evidence-based analysis of potential operational gaps, irregularities, inconsistencies, and draw from the extensive reservoir of lessons learned gathered through our expansive network of over 40 COs and ROs worldwide.
