** Job Overview:

The IRC Resettlement, Asylum and Integration (RAI) network creates opportunities for refugees and other vulnerable migrants to survive and thrive in the United States and in Europe. The IRC RAI network currently has 28 U.S. offices.

The IRC is committed to developing innovative, context-specific programs in response to strategic funding opportunities with a range of local, state and federal government agencies, as well as private foundations and corporations. This work is led by the RAI Resource Acquisition and Management (RAM) team, in close collaboration with RAI Offices and Learning & Impact units as well as the IRC Finance and Budget departments.
