Alumni Talent Pool: Program and Emergency Response Lead Roles

Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. Now, and for the future. The Program Mercy Corps has created an Alumni Talent Pool to support emergency response, transitions and complex program start-up, by fast-tracking Mercy Corps alumni into temporary Senior Program and Emergency Response roles. The initiative focuses on matching qualified team members with urgent country-based needs, for short-term placements (3 months on average). This is an opportunity for senior program leaders that offers more professional and personal flexibility and access to diverse experiences.

The Role Mercy Corps alumni who were employed within the last four years qualified to fill Senior Program Roles (Multi-Country Manager, Country Director, Deputy Country Director, Program Director, Program Manager, Emergency Response Lead, or Start-up Team Lead) will be eligible to join the Alumni Talent Pool. Once selected into the Pool, members will have access to short-term opportunities in countries where Mercy Corps operates. Responsibilities and supervisory structures will vary depending on the type of assignment. When on assignment, members will be eligible for competitive salary and benefits. The eligible salary ranges and a description of all benefits associated with these short-term positions will depend on the type of employment they are hired under and may vary if this is an expat position, consultancy or if the work is done remotely.
