Job Description
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is among the world’s leading nonprofit humanitarian relief organizations. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps those whose lives and livelihoods have been shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover and gain control of their future. Working in 40 countries and 26 U.S. cities, the IRC restores safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The Emergencies and Humanitarian Action Unit (EHAU) leads and handles three distinct organization-wide functions within the IRC: Emergency Preparedness and Response: ensuring that assistance that helps crisis affected communities to survive is delivered immediately; Humanitarian Policy and Standards: helping the IRC design and deliver the quality, accountable and ethically sound programs that achieve Core Humanitarian Standards, as well as the essential humanitarian principles of Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence; International Safety and Security: working to sustain and grow safe access into the world’s highest need and most volatile locations. Job Overview: The EHAU Finance Assistant will provide support to the Unit on IRC’s new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, Microsoft Dynamics 365 branded “Integra”. They will help staff navigate the system and answer the general day-to-day questions. They will assist in the review and validation of EHAU’s transactions, allocations, and funding sources in various IRC systems and management of general finances. The Finance Assistant will ensure that transactions are coded properly per the Unit’s operating budget, investigate miscoded transactions, and liaise with HQ Finance on submission of recodes. In addition, with direction from the Finance Manager, they will assist with funding allocations to specific emergency responses from the EHAU’s various response funds and help track spending on allocations of funds to country programs across various funding sources using the IRC’s accounting databases. Working closely with the Finance Manager, they will also be responsible for financial payroll allocations for the unit’s full-time staff and computation of monthly daily rates for the Emergency Response Team. This position is ideal for a candidate with a background in basic budgeting and accounting, who has strong organization skills, a high level of personal initiative, and the ability to work well in a multi-cultural and fast-paced environment. The ideal candidate will enjoy juggling multiple responsibilities, while maintaining strong collaborative relationships with HQ and field colleagues.
