Operating across more than 40 countries and 29 U.S. cities, the IRC responds to humanity's most severe crises—conflict, disaster, and displacement—by restoring health, safety, education, economic opportunity, and dignity to affected communities. The organization works tirelessly to help people survive immediate threats, reclaim agency over their futures, and rebuild stronger communities.
The Role

Your success hinges on translating complex AI capabilities into practical solutions that address real operational challenges, improve workflows, and enhance service delivery in humanitarian contexts.
