نظرة عامة على الوظيفة:

The Director, People Development is responsible for planning and implementing a variety of people development initiatives for the IRC’s Crisis Response, Recovery and Development (CRRD) department. Partnering closely with the Global Learning & Development Team and P&C Partners across CRRD, the Director, People Development, will plan and facilitate workshops, peer learning groups, facilitate talent review processes, and support other talent management and learning efforts across CRRD. CRRD people development activities must build capability and competency to achieve CRRD’s strategic action plans, leadership diversity targets, and the overall development, retention, and improved internal promotion rates of top talent across CRRD.

• Build and maintain trusted partnerships with senior CRRD leaders, regional directors, and country directors to ensure sustained engagement and measurable adoption of people development programs across CRRD.
• Serve as the primary voice of CRRD within the Global Learning & Development team by participating in strategy and planning sessions to ensure globally implemented programming reflects the needs, contexts, and constraints of field-based staff and leaders.
• Translate CRRD’s strategic priorities — including Strategy 100, leadership diversity targets, and retention goals — into scalable learning and talent development plans, providing guidance on how programs should be adapted to varying operational contexts across a complex, globally distributed humanitarian operation.
• Partner with CRRD P&C Partners to design and deliver new leader integration and country director onboarding experiences that accelerate effectiveness and cultural alignment.
• Contextualize, communicate and drive org-wide learning and development initiatives across CRRD.
• Design and implement people development programs — including, but not limited to, talent review, succession planning, manager capability building, and P&C capacity strengthening — that equip, engage, and retain CRRD staff, managers and leaders.
• Build CRRD’s talent movement and capability-building infrastructure — including workforce planning and succession readiness pipelines.
• Maintain and deliver a strategic roadmap of people development initiatives in CRRD while also remaining agile and able to deliver against last-minute and unexpected needs that may arise.
• Identify and champion the responsible use of AI tools and technologies to enhance talent development and learning and development work — improving the personalization, efficiency, and scalability of programs across CRRD’s globally distributed teams — in alignment with IRC’s approved AI tools and governance standards.
• Establish and track key metrics to evaluate program effectiveness and report progress to CRRD and P&C leadership.
