Are you a senior leader with experience in building global partnerships in the humanitarian and development sector and a strong strategic thinker who excels at forging lasting relationships to achieve shared goals? Do you enjoy creating results for others? Do you master making the complex simpler? Are you passionate about mobilizing for the displacement cause? Then the role of Director for Partnerships, Engagement and Fundraising at DRC may be your next challenge.

Who are we?

Danish Refugee Council is Denmark’s largest, and a world leading international NGO - one of the few with a specific expertise in forced displacement.

The Division Partnerships, Engagement and Fundraising is responsible for DRC’s global strategic partnerships and engagement with institutional donors, global foundations, and private contributors at global level. Altogether it employs approximately 35 dedicated specialists who are working to increase DRC’s capacity and ambition to expand, deepen and strengthen partnerships and fundraising activities, in close collaboration with DRC colleagues from all around the world. DRC is therefore looking for a talented profile to lead this division which is still under establishment.

The Division is part of DRC’s department for Partnerships, Advocacy & External Relations (PAER) and the Director will be a member of the department management group. PAER is DRC’s external facing and drives global advocacy, press & external communication efforts as well as being responsible for high-level global strategic engagement with partners.

About the job

DRC’s strategy 2025 sets clear ambitions for partnerships and fundraising to ensure that DRC remains able to mobilize successfully around the displacement cause. With more than 100 million people in the world being forcibly displaced, and a steadily increasing funding gap, the topic is of ever-increasing importance. In this strategic period, DRC works towards deepening relationships with institutional donors, establishing global strategic partnership agreements with relevant actors in the private sector – both global foundations, private companies as well as individuals - and engage in alliances with partners from both the development and humanitarian sector. The Director for Partnerships, Engagement and Fundraising will play a crucial role in addressing these strategic ambitions.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to join DRC’s senior leadership and develop and lead DRC’s endeavors towards further globalizing and strengthening DRC’s partnership and engagement work. The position reports to the Executive Director for PAER. The Director will be responsible for setting the strategic direction for the Division, and leading managers responsible for the different functional units in the division. The Director will collaborate closely with and support the executive leadership of the organization.

Covering a complex and broad competency area with many opportunities, the prime role of the Director will be to handle the balancing act of implementing and prioritizing long term initiatives in support of DRC’s strategy 2025, whilst also ensuring that there is capacity and agility to support local opportunities of strategic relevance that need global leverage and support.

  • Lead the development of an ambitious institutional donor engagement strategy (IDES 3.0) aligning with DRC´s vision of 2030, to ensure highest level of channel optimization and growth is being fostered, while creatively challenging teams and individuals to aspire to think out of the box and seek to grow donor engagement.
  • Line manage the three Heads of Units in PEF and support and guide their work within and across the units and perform technical line management of the regional business development coordinators (RBDCs) and the Senior Policy Advisor on Humanitarian Financing in Geneva.
  • Establish the structure of and formalize the PEF Division to become ONE division with clear synergies and strong sentiment of being one entity. This includes as well setting up coordination structures beyond the division with key departments and stakeholders.
  • Lead the Division’s accountability areas of nurturing, strengthening, and expanding DRC’s global partnerships, engagement, and fundraising activities.
  • Serve as the custodian of business development cycle at DRC (fundraising, donor engagement, proposal development) and oversee and coordinate the rollout and maintenance of core related business processes, procedures, and policies.
