IRC Grants Manager jobs in South Sudan



IRC is committed to bold leadership, innovation and creative partnerships. South Sudan, an independent nation since 9 July 2011, is emerging from decades of brutal civil war rooted in disputes over religion, ethnicity, resources, governance and self-determination.

The security situation remains fragile and the operational context is challenging. IRC has been in South Sudan since 1989 and currently operates in Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Lakes, Unity, and Central Equatoria States.

The Grants Manager provides day-to-day oversight of a number of projects within a specific portfolio. The Grants Manager is the focal point for all proposal development, donor reporting, information management and grants management capacity-building efforts within their portfolio.

The Grants Manager also provides key support to the Grants Coordinator in programmatic and budgetary monitoring, compliance with donor and internal IRC rules and regulations and other key functions as required.
