NORCAP works to improve aid to better protect and empower people affected by crisis and climate change. We do this by providing expertise and solutions to humanitarian, development and peacebuilding partners, because we believe working together is the best way to reduce needs, risks and vulnerability over time. We seek and promote more effective ways of working at the global level and in the field. NORCAP’s aim is not only to reduce needs, but also to create choice and opportunity for vulnerable people. NORCAP works with and through our partners to improve aid in two complementary ways:
• We provide targeted expertise to strengthen our partners’ response.
• We collaborate with partners to develop solutions to un‑met gaps and challenges.
This role is central to advancing NORCAP’s commitment to climate action, peace, democracy, and human rights through strategic leadership, policy influence, and effective programme delivery.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As Director for Climate Action, Peace and Democracy, you will lead one of NORCAP’s most forward‑looking portfolios—where strategic leadership, programme quality, and policy influence come together. You will guide a strong team, shape partnerships, and steer a portfolio that has the mandate to rethink how aid can better address climate‑related risks, strengthen peaceful societies, and uphold democratic space. You will work directly with senior counterparts across NORCAP and global partners to bring evidence, innovation and solutions into practice while ensuring the section’s resources, people and NORCAP Assignments deliver meaningful impact. The role is based in Oslo, reports to the Executive Director of NORCAP, and includes 10% travel.
