BACKGROUND

Over the past 80 years, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has developed unparalleled expertise in responding to emergencies and helping uprooted communities to rebuild.

Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster.

The IRC is headquartered in New York and operates in more than 40 countries, providing emergency relief, relocating refugees and rebuilding lives in the wake of disaster.

Through 26 regional offices in cities across the United States, the IRC also helps refugees resettle in the US and become self-sufficient.

The IRC is committed to a culture of bold leadership, innovation in all aspects of our work, creative partnerships and, most crucially, accountability to those we serve.

The IRC is a tireless advocate for the most vulnerable.

IRC-UK

IRC-UK was established in London in 1997 to support the organisation's global activities and particularly to diversify its donor base, to better advocate with European policy-makers and to raise the profile of the IRC in Europe.

IRC-UK comprises approximately 120 staff. The IRC also has offices in Brussels, Berlin, Bonn, Stockholm and Geneva.

EXTERNAL RELATIONS

The External Relations (ER) unit is composed of four complementary functions: Private Fundraising, Mobilization & Marketing, Policy & Advocacy and Operations & Analytics.

To enable IRC to deliver our Strategy100 commitments, the ER unit established a bold new approach that enhances our ability to raise diverse and flexible funding aligned with IRC's top priorities, while raising our profile and influence.

The ER unit is international, with colleagues in more than 10 offices globally.
