Job Overview

The Deputy Director, Supply Chain Business Development and Program Delivery is a senior global role responsible for making IRC's supply chains fit for scale across its most ambitious health and humanitarian programming commitments. The role is designed to translate strategic program targets into operational supply chain solutions that work at country level and ensuring country realities shape global supply chain strategy in return.

The role has three integrated areas of responsibility.

It serves as a primary GSC lead and contributor to business development: identifying, designing, and positioning supply chain funding opportunities with institutional and non-traditional donors, and leading supply chain sections of competitive proposals.

It provides support across IRC's Impact at Scale (I@S) thematic supply chains, driving end-to-end performance from demand planning and forecasting through sourcing, pre-positioning, and last-mile delivery.

It builds country and regional capacity to sustain health supply chain improvements over time, providing direct technical support, deploying to high-priority contexts, and harmonizing tools and SOPs across country programs in collaboration with Regional Supply Chain Directors (RSCDs) and other relevant Global Supply Chain (GSC) units and IRC stakeholder departments.

Reporting to the Director of Emergency and Health Supply Chain, the Deputy Director works in close collaboration with the Health Technical Unit, Global Procurement, Regional Supply Chain Directors, Country Programs, IT, Finance, and external partners including UNICEF, WHO, ECHO, and peer INGOs.

Key Responsibilities

• The Deputy Director plays an active role in GSC’s business development (BD) function.

Additionally, private and corporate donors have expressed specific interest in funding the optimization of health and emergency supply chains.

• Provide supply chain leadership and oversight for the addition of any new I@S Ready to Scale thematic areas, ensuring new commodities and delivery models are integrated into IRC's global supply chain architecture without creating fragmentation or duplication.

• Lead or co-lead the technical design of supply chain sections for proposals where GSC has a primary role, including narrative writing, logical framework development, and supply chain costing.

• Collaborating with program and business development leads to embedding supply chain considerations into program design, with specific attention paid to Impact at Scale initiatives

• Contribute to bid assessment, probability-of-winning analysis, and positioning strategy for supply chain funding opportunities with specific focus on I@S thematic areas

• Develop and maintain GSC supply chain capability statements and value propositions relevant to I@S programming areas, for use in capture and proposal development.

• Participate in the BD review cycle for proposals with significant supply chain components, ensuring technical quality and alignment with IRC’s global supply chain strategy.

• Mobilize opportunities with non-traditional partners such as Airlink to improve program delivery and increase cost savings

• Take the lead with External relations and other fundraising teams to enable increased use of GIK goods and services, enabling program delivery whilst making IRC more cost effective.

• Build and maintain donor intelligence on supply chain funding streams

• Support pre-award activities including donor engagement, capture visits, and key personnel recruitment where relevant to I@S supply chain opportunities.

• Coordinate with Regional Supply Chain Directors and country programs to ensure country-level supply chain needs and evidence are reflected in proposals.

• Contribute to after-action reviews following award decisions to capture lessons and improve future supply chain BD submissions.

• Identify and evaluate opportunities for business development & partnerships with academic or research centers, with Research & Innovation colleagues as appropriate.

3. Implementation of Strategic Initiatives Supporting Impact @ Scale

• Strengthening global forecasting and demand planning systems for key health commodities.

• Collaborate with Global Procurement to define sourcing strategies, monitor supplier performance, and ensure security of supply.

• Work with country teams to improve quantification, storage, distribution planning, and last-mile delivery.

• Translate I@S targets into actionable supply chain plans with milestones, KPIs, and risk controls.

• Design and support the rollout of cross-country improvements (e.g., pooled procurement feasibility, centralized pre-positioning, LMIS integration, preferred vendor strategies, emergency surge mechanisms, harmonized delivery models).

• Support the implementation of the supply chain I@S bodies of work.

• Escalate and advise GSC Leadership on global priorities, risks, and mitigation strategies impacting success of I@S activity plans.

4. Capacity Building, Country Support & Operational Strengthening

• Provide specialized technical support to country supply chain and health teams.

• Support countries facing pipeline risks or operational bottlenecks; deploy to high-priority locations as needed.
