Who are we?

DRC is a Danish international non-governmental organisation, which promotes and supports durable solutions to the problems faced by refugees and internally displaced people all over the world. DRC is present in more than 30 conflict territories around the world assisting displaced people with shelter, food, income generating activities, legal aid and a wide range of other protection assistance. It is of uttermost importance for DRC to work in compliance with the DRC Accountability and Quality Management system in the areas of Administration, HR, Finance and Procurement/Logistics. Smooth, reliable and effective operational systems are preconditions for DRC to maintain its position as a trustworthy and reliable partner for our donors and an accountable organisation towards our beneficiaries. The position as Regional Head of Finance and Administration (RHoFA) in DRC is a cornerstone in keeping up the high quality in DRC’s operations.

DRC's global strategy for organisational development includes a number of initiatives addressing preconditions for growth, the most significant being the issue of decentralisation. Under this heading compliance with DRC's operational systems and reduction of errors are in focus, and the RHoFAs are considered instrumental in keeping this focus. But focus is also on improving the systems and adjusting them to fit the operational reality that the DRC operations face. The RHoFAs are considered equally important participants and contributors in this process.

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) runs a regional programme in AfPak as long-standing armed conflict and frequent natural disasters have caused massive displacement over the past 30 years, affecting millions of people. More than three decades of violent conflict, insecurity and continuous political upheaval has resulted in millions of Afghans fleeing the country for protection in neighbouring countries. To meet this need DRC has set up a regional hub to co-ordinate operations in the region. The region covers DRC work in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and Tajikistan, with programmes funded by DANIDA, UNHCR, BPRM, UNTF Europe Aid & ECHO. The total annual budget is 90 mio DKK.

About the job

The Regional Head of Finance and Administration (RHoFA) will have overall leadership responsibility for DRC’s support operations (Finances, Logistics, Human Resources, Information Technology). S/he will play a critical role in the development and implementation of strategies necessary to further develop DRC’s programmes in the countries as the implementer of choice for the donors and governments. The RHoFA will be a member of the Senior Management Team, with overall responsibility for the programme support functions and capabilities in the organization with expected growth. This position requires the demonstrated ability to develop long term vision and strategic planning, provide leadership for the organization’s operations, and a high level of financial and operation planning including capacity building of staff.
