At the ICRC, our economic security experts ensure that people affected by conflict can meet their essential needs, protect their livelihoods and recover with dignity. We look for professionals with the expertise, adaptability and commitment to take on the following roles:
Economic security delegates
You manage the full project cycle of economic security programmes. With a deep understanding of local socio-economic, political and environmental contexts, you design, implement and monitor strategies that strengthen food security and livelihoods in conflict-affected communities.
Agronomists
You support farming and agro-pastoralist communities by providing seed, tools and technical guidance. By coaching local farmers and restoring agricultural production, you help build resilience and enable rural populations to sustain themselves despite the impact of armed conflict.
Nutritionists
You design and implement nutrition interventions to prevent and treat malnutrition. Working closely with health and economic security teams, you assess needs, develop tailored responses and monitor their impact in primary health centres, hospitals or detention facilities.
Veterinarians
You protect the livelihoods of communities that depend on livestock. By implementing vaccination campaigns, disease control and animal health programmes, you prevent the collapse of livestock-based economies and help families recover from the shocks of conflict and violence.
Cash and market specialists
You design and oversee cash transfer programmes and other market-based interventions. By guiding colleagues and directly managing projects, you empower affected communities to make their own choices and meet their needs with dignity.
Analysis, evidence, monitoring and evaluation specialists
You bring expertise in data, economics and humanitarian analysis. From needs assessments to monitoring and evaluation, you generate evidence that strengthens decision-making and accountability across all economic security programmes.
