København

DanChurchAid (DCA) is looking for an International Director to lead the International Department. DCA has an annual turnover of 1 billion DKK, and activities in more than 20 countries with offices in Africa, Middle East, Asia, and Ukraine, employing 1250 staff in total and partnering with some 200 civil society organisations. In 2023 we reached 5 mill people through our 19 country programmes.
The number of people affected by crisis arising from conflict is dramatically increasing, the consequences of climate change are severely impacting millions of people around the world, and violations of human and democratic rights are putting citizens and civil society under severe pressure. In close cooperation with our civil society partners and other key stakeholders, DCA want to respond to the increasing global polarisation and nationalism, and to counter waning support to global solidarity, democratic values, and human rights.
In this challenging environment, DCA is looking for a new International Director with an analytical and strategic mindset, extensive humanitarian and development experience, and strong leadership skills. Working in partnerships is core to DCA, strengthening cooperation with national partners, faith-based actors and ACT agencies, donors, international organisations, and the private sector. Through your strategic leadership and clear communication on direction you will motivate and gain support from staff in International Department in Copenhagen and in our DCA Country Offices, while also ensuring staff well-being in these challenging times.
This position is based in Copenhagen, refers to the Secretary General and is a part of the DCA Senior Management.
