Appointment of Director of Operations
The climate crisis is here. Risks are rising.
The Climate Centre’s mission is to help the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and its partners reduce the impacts of climate change and extreme-weather events on vulnerable people. Through its network of 192 National Societies, 165,000 local branches and 14 million volunteers, the IFRC has committed to ambitious climate goals, to reduce current and future humanitarian impacts of climate and environmental crises and to supporting people to adapt in the face of them. The Climate Centre, working at the intersection of science, policy and practice, and as the principal technical resource for the Movement on climate-related issues, will be instrumental in the realisation of these ambitions.
The Climate Centre is now seeking an outstanding, passionate and effective individual to join as its new Director of Operation. A member of the Climate Centre’s Leadership Team and reporting to the Director, the Director of Operations will ensure the organisation has the best possible working environment and process for it to have maximum impact.
