The Awards Management Unit (AMU)
AMU has responsibility for identifying, securing and managing all funding from government donors for the IRC. AMU is a bridge between donors and the IRC’s work on the ground. The team provides expert technical advice to colleagues delivering our services around the world, ensures consistency and compliance with our donors’ policies and procedures, and manages risk. The unit also supports all IRC staff working on awards from government donors and partnerships.
The Purpose of the Role
Reporting to the Director for Global Donor Engagement, the Senior Advisor for Gulf Donor Engagement will support IRC’s work to deliver its Business Development (BD) Strategy within the Persian Gulf region. The Senior Advisor will lead donor engagement and influence with four key donors: the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD); the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB); the King Salman Relief Center (KSR); and the Office of Development Affairs – United Arab Emirates (ODA-UAE), coupled with providing flexible business coordination for the broader portfolio.
The Senior Advisor will lead, guide and coordinate IRC’s funding-focused engagement across these prioritized Gulf region donors and will provide an internal and external “account management” function to support engagement with these donors. The role is responsible for providing expertise and leadership on donor relations for the Gulf region, and will coordinate with regional, compliance and technical teams on Gulf donors related analysis, business development, and influential engagement around policy priorities.
The Senior Advisor will lead the development and implementation of strategies for proactive donor and partner relationships with Gulf region donors on behalf of IRC. The role will develop and maintain positive working relationships and standards of collaboration with senior colleagues across the organization, including the Awards Management Unit, the broader International Division (CRRD), and External Relations. The role will also lead on institutional/public Gulf liaison on Business Development with the President’s Office as required, including advising the leadership board on relevant trends in Gulf region funding.
