Actively seeking new opportunities, the team directly supports the bidding and delivery processes, playing a crucial role in generating unrestricted funding for ongoing investment in delivering assistance to displaced individuals.
About the job

In 2023, DRC was awarded a prime contract for the UK’s Integrated Security Fund (ISF) framework and secured partnership roles in consortia for two UK FCDO Global Development Delivery (GDD) framework lots – Lot 2 (Humanitarian and Health) and Lot 7 (Conflict and Governance). To support and expand our involvement in these and other contracts, DRC is seeking a dynamic and strategic Framework Coordinator to join our commercial contracts team at our headquarters in Copenhagen. The key duties and responsibilities of this position are to:

• Coordinate and oversee DRC’s participation in existing framework contracts, including the ISF (previously Conflict Security and Stability Fund (CSSF)) framework and GDD lots, ensuring timely and effective responses to call-down opportunities, as well as continued compliance with framework requirements.
• Identify and secure new contract opportunities with other institutional donors, enhancing DRC’s portfolio and positioning for future commercial contracts.
• Set up systems and procedures that facilitate DRC’s positioning and bidding for commercial contracts.
• Contribute to the overall growth and sustainability of DRC’s commercial contracts portfolio, aligning with organizational goals and values.
