The TTA-Partnerships Project Manager position is a temporary role within the Awards Management Unit, intended for current IRC staff. This role is remote/flexible and is expected to start as soon as possible, lasting for a duration of 3 months. The project, funded by Sida and supported by NEAR, aims to strengthen local humanitarian systems by co-creating and adapting open-source operational and technical tools based on the priorities identified by Global South civil society organizations (CSOs). The project is currently in its second year, focusing on active piloting, adaptation, and dissemination of resources. The Partnerships Project Manager will work closely with the Senior Partnerships Specialist to support this critical phase.
