Job Overview/Summary
The Director of Security Learning and Operations (DSLO) will work with IRC’s staff and partners to identify, design, develop, and implement learning interventions, coaching/mentoring, and other types of capability-building support to enhance humanitarian access and security management. The DSLO will, in close collaboration with Regional Safety and Security Directors (RSSDs) and Deputy Chief Safety & Security Officer (DCSSO), identify capacity gaps and surge support needs and deploy appropriate and adequate resources. In support of this effort, the DSLO will work in partnership with the custodians of the Global Surge Team maintaining a talented and diverse team of Safety & Security professionals deployable in service of RAI and CRRD program needs.
A key objective for the IRC’s safety and security unit is to continue the shift from S&S being perceived as a separate silo’ed responsibility towards the development of a shared security risk culture across the entire organization. A foundation for this shift is building S&S competencies for all staff and for those individuals who have specific responsibilities for the safety and security of others. With a growing workforce and IRC working in more insecure environments, it is becoming vital that IRC matures from ad hoc training for S&S, to develop and implement an intentional vision and strategic plan for learning and development.
