Are you an experienced and authentic leader who can lead DRC’s programmatic approach and our strategy 2025? We are looking for an Executive Director to lead the Department for Strategy, Programme & Learning. Join DRC’s Executive Management Team and lead one of the world’s largest international NGO’s in accordance with our mandate, strategic vision and our values.
Who are we?
DRC has grown to become an international humanitarian organisation with more than 8,000 employees and 6,000 volunteers across 4 regions and more than 40 countries. Our turnover is more than DKK 3.5 bn. Our work covers all aspects of refugee issues based on humanitarian principles and human rights – we call it the full circle - “We are there”.
We work in conflict-affected areas, along displacement routes, and in countries where refugees settle. Our work is tailored to global needs and includes providing emergency relief, long-term durable solutions and strengthening the opportunity for a brighter future for refugees and displaced people. The Department for Strategy, Programme & Learning is responsible for DRC’s programming and holds overall accountability for DRC’s programmatic approach: the response framework with its three programme platforms – emergency response, solutions to displacement and addressing root causes – and DRC’s five core sectors.
The Department consists of approximately 100 employees including 14 managers, split between three divisions/sub-departments:
DRC’s five global hosted entities are also part of the Department. These are the Mixed Migration Center (MMC), Joint IDP Profiling Service (JIPS), Data Entry and Exploration Platform (DEEP), Humanitarian-to-Humanitarian Network (H2H) and Protection Information Management (PIM).
Colleagues in the department are working across the globe, with the majority working from HQ while other employees are based in our regional and country offices. We have a diverse workforce, and empowering work culture. Our main working language is English, alongside other DRC languages such as Arabic, Spanish, French, and Danish.
About the job

The EMT sets the overall strategic direction of the organisation and is responsible for leading the entire organisation in accordance with the mandate, strategic vision, and values of DRC.
While the EMT sets the strategic direction of DRC under the guidance of the Executive Committee, in this role, you will facilitate the advancement, implementation, and review of DRC's global strategy.
In this role you will represent DRC, both internally and externally and communicate and lift DRC priorities internally across the organisation as well as externally to donors, policy counterparts and others.
The Department of Strategy, Programme & Learning has until now been part of a larger Department for Programme, Policy & External Relations, which will be divided into two departments. Therefore, an important part of your role will also be to establish Strategy, Programme & Learning as a new department on its own while at the same time ensuring high-level strategic alignment across the organisation.
