Description About Mercy Corps Mercy Corps is powered by the belief that a better world is possible. To do this, we know our teams do their best work when they are diverse, and every team member feels that they belong. We welcome diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and skills so that we can be stronger and have long term impact.  Background  The Cash Consortium of Sudan (CCS) is a collaborative platform of over 20 international and national NGOs working to strengthen multi-sectoral humanitarian programming, improve coordination, and increase collective impact across Sudan, hosted by Mercy Corps. In the current crisis context, formal coordination mechanisms are inconsistent or absent across many parts of Darfur. To address these critical gaps—particularly at the state level—the CCS is supporting the operationalization of Area-Based Coordination (ABC) mechanisms in priority states. These platforms are designed to strengthen field-level programmatic alignment, ensuring a space for INGOs, NNGOs, UN, private sector and local responders to jointly assess, plan, and coordinate across sectors and cross border operations.  The ABC approach is field-driven, neutral, independent and inclusive. It is hosted operationally through CCS partner agencies at the state level and is designed to complement—rather than replace—existing structures such as the cluster system at sub-national level, the INGO Forum, and the Emergency Response Mechanism (ERM) and any other relevant groups. The model also aligns with sub-national coordination systems such as the A-ICCG, ensuring coherence and a strong feedback loop from the field to national decision-making. By strengthening multi-sectoral service mapping, facilitating referral systems, and enabling joint planning among diverse actors, the ABC model fills a critical coordination gap in Sudan’s humanitarian landscape—particularly in hard-to-reach and conflict-affected areas with very high needs. The ABC Coordinator role is designed to be an enabler and fully complementary to existing humanitarian coordination structures. Technical leadership and strategic guidance remain under the purview of the cluster system and relevant national frameworks, with ABCs serving as a field-level coordination interface to strengthen coherence. Purpose / Project Description  The ABC Coordinator will serve as a neutral convener of multi-sectoral humanitarian coordination at the state level. This role is central to supporting collective planning, identifying and addressing service gaps, improving referral pathways, and strengthening the interoperability between emergency response and longer-term programming. Each ABC Coordinator will act as the anchor of the area-based coordination structure in their designated state and will engage with OCHA sub office  for the state This includes managing a regular forum for all active humanitarian actors on the ground, coordinating closely with the SI-led ERM, and 48 Hr. ERRM team, and any other relevant groups, facilitating links with the A-ICCG relevant cluster FPs  and the INGO Forum’s access and advocacy functions. The coordinator, in collaboration with OCHA, will ensure that the rapid needs assessments inform broader planning, that clusters are engaged to support cluster-specific coordination and technical harmonization, and that all humanitarian actors—regardless of consortium membership—can participate in and benefit from joint planning and alignment processes.  ABC Coordinators will ensure that existing national and cluster-level tools, SOPs, and coordination protocols apply. Any local contextualization or adaptation will be done in consultation with OCHA and elevated to the ICCG where needed, in line with IASC guidance. The supporting role of the position requires strong facilitation, diplomacy, coordination, and contextual knowledge of the humanitarian landscape in Sudan. This is not an implementation or oversight role—it is a facilitative coordination role of field-based staff, embedded in an operational agency, acting on behalf of the wider collective response.  Objectives of the Position  Key Responsibilities  1. Programmatic Coordination & Strategic Alignment 2. Information Management & Interoperability 3. Access 4.

Location: Remote, within Canada Starting Salary Range: $87,000-90,000 CAD Deadline for Applications: 6 July 2025 11:59pm ET ABOUT THE FIRST RESPONSE FUND The First Response Fund (FRF) is a new global pooled fund, currently in its design phase, that seeks to resource humanitarian responses led by feminist civil society organizations – by leveraging women’s and feminist funds’ (W/FF) funding capacity, reach, and relationships with women’s rights and women led organizations (WROs/WLOs) across regions.  Twelve feminist and women’s funds (along with Prospera, the international network of women’s funds) are working together to design the First Response Fund centering the strategies of local WLOs/WROs in ODA-eligible countries, providing resources and accompaniment via a global network of over 50 Women’s and Feminist Funds. FRF represents an innovative advance on localization because it moves core, flexible resources to local WROs/WLOs for the life-saving, humanitarian services prioritized by their communities.  FRF is a new initiative that builds on the existing expertise of WROs/WLOs doing critical humanitarian response and of W/FFs resourcing these groups. We are creating an accessible channel for donors to resource the humanitarian activities of WROs.  FRF is hosted by the Equality Fund, a feminist fund based in Canada, resourcing feminist movements through global grantmaking, gender-lens investing, policy advocacy, and feminist philanthropy. Launched in 2019, the Equality Fund has, in its first five years, programmed $100 million CAD in grants directly and in partnership with women’s and feminist funds to support 1,000 women’s rights and feminist organizations working across 100 countries. THE OPPORTUNITY The Program Manager is the most senior member of the FRF Secretariat, hosted at the Equality Fund. This position will coordinate and drive overall operations across FRF in the three-year pilot phase. Primary responsibilities include project management of the final stages of FRF design and the subsequent implementation of FRF’s humanitarian grantmaking strategy, which will target historically marginalized populations and geographies frequently missed in humanitarian funding and response activities. The successful candidate must demonstrate solid experience in humanitarian programming. Previous experience managing humanitarian projects, working with women’s rights and feminist organizations in humanitarian contexts and reporting to humanitarian donors is mandatory in this position.  The ideal candidate is also a bridge builder,  with a proven track record in complex initiatives, with an orientation to partnership development and relationship building with multiple stakeholders. We are looking for candidates that are committed to power shifting and enabling local responses, with strong accountability to the needs and priorities of communities and movements.  Reporting to the Co-VP of Global Programs at the Equality Fund, the Program Manager liaises with the Advisory Group, the participatory body setting the strategic direction and grantmaking priorities for the Fund. The Advisory Group is made up of representatives from Women’s and Feminist Funds, Women’s rights and women led organizations, and humanitarian sector bodies from a diversity of backgrounds.  The Program Manager works closely with the FRF Secretariat team and relevant Equality Fund staff to develop grantmaking and finance tools for humanitarian programming, coordinate due diligence with implementing partners, drive the preparation and approval of grant dockets and provide support and accompaniment to FRF grant partners during implementation. This role requires a strong understanding of humanitarian principles and standards and the ability to support capacity-building in humanitarian principles, systems and practices for feminist funds and implementing partners.  SCOPE & RESPONSIBILITIES QUALIFICATIONS & COMPETENCIES  REQUIREMENTS OUR ENVIRONMENT OF CARE SELECTION PROCESS JOIN US!
