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.
Program / Department Summary
Mercy Corps’ Technical Support Unit (TSU) is a key part of the Program Department. TSU subject-matter experts help set agency strategy and provide consultation – from assessment and design through project implementation and results measurement – to field offices worldwide, in some of the world’s toughest places. TSU team members lead research, foster organizational learning, represent Mercy Corps to external audiences, and develop partnerships. The TSU is also integral to global business development and revenue.
General Position Summary
Recognizing that violent conflict is the leading cause of suffering and extreme poverty, Mercy Corps... distinguishes itself among leading international aid and development agencies by working to address the root causes of conflict in the world’s most difficult places. With Mercy Corps’ focus on reducing fragility and building community resilience and well-being, the Peace and Conflict team is a leading agency voice that both amplifies the peace and conflict work of our global peacebuilding leaders and contributes to program excellence and the lasting impact of our work. Since the late 1990s, Mercy Corps has implemented more than 100 conflict management programs in more than 40 African, Asian, Middle Eastern, Balkan, and Latin American countries.
The Peace and Conflict Advisor focuses on providing expert technical support and capacity building to Mercy Corps field teams in peace and conflict. Interest-based negotiation and mediation (IBNM) has long been a cornerstone of Mercy Corps’ and other practitioners’ peacebuilding efforts. Since 2004, when Mercy Corps merged with the Conflict Management Group and its team of experts from the Harvard Program on Negotiation, we have supported leaders to become more effective negotiators and mediators in countries as diverse as Iraq, Myanmar, Kenya, Jordan, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Guatemala, Colombia, Tajikistan, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Niger, Uganda, and Mali. Combined with other approaches to build social cohesion and tackle the underlying structural drivers of conflict, mediation training and support have helped communities prevent conflict from escalating into violence and sustain peace structures that can manage conflict peacefully in the long term. Mercy Corps is beginning a new global program called Advancing Inclusive Mediation (AIM), which seeks to increase local communities’, Mercy Corps’, and the broader peacebuilding community’s skills and knowledge in inclusive mediation, which will ultimately reduce violent conflict. To achieve this goal, the program will focus on four outcomes:
• Mercy Corps’ Interest-Based Mediation resources becomes gender-transformative, youth-centered, and digital-aware.
• Mercy Corps’ global cohort of mediation and peacebuilding experts increase their skills and knowledge in facilitating inclusive mediation programs.
• Community leaders and global peacebuilders access inclusive mediation tools online and on their smart devices.
• Mercy Corps advances the evidence base of inclusive mediation in two countries.
Mercy Corps seeks a Peace and Conflict Advisor to lead the AIM program, providing technical and strategic direction, leading and writing new guidance with the close collaboration of other global Mercy Corps experts and outside stakeholders, co-leading workshops to strengthen skills and expertise, and partnership to ensure the delivery of digital adaptation and research. The Advisor will also coordinate the technical input and support from other sectors, including Gender, Equity, and Social Inclusion (GESI); Young People and Protection (YPP); and Technology for Development (T4D); in addition to Research and Learning. This position will be grant-funded though fully embedded within the Peace and Governance technical support unit.

GD has raised over $800M since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.2 million recipients, and launched offices in 11 countries. We’re continuing expansion across the Global South. Over the past decade, GD has also supported large-scale, experimental research, expanding the evidence that cash has a positive short and long-term impact on recipients. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) has been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.
Across our global offices, our culture is candid, analytical, non-hierarchical, and agile. We work alongside 750+ individuals who come from 21 different countries and speak 69 different languages. Team members at GiveDirectly attest that... diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just buzzwords, but a fundamental part of our culture and values. We actively seek to recruit individuals from the communities we serve, and use DEI as a lens in our hiring practices, programs, and initiatives. Our goal is to maintain a workplace where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, and feel valued and respected for who they are. We continue to grapple with balancing inclusivity of all cultures and experiences while maintaining cohesion in our values. While there is much that we are still learning, we take care of one another, have fun, as well as provide flexible working hours wherever possible.
We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or any other status protected by law.
Location: This role is based in Abuja.
About GiveDirectly
GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.
GD has raised over $700M since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1 million people, and launched offices in 10 countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

About GiveDirectly
GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.
GD has raised over $700M since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1 million people, and launched offices in 10 countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.
We’re looking for exceptional talent to grow our collaborative, diverse team. Joining GiveDirectly provides the opportunity to work alongside individuals who come from 21 different countries and speak 69 different languages. We’re actively working toward an equitable and inclusive environment for all team members, and seek candidates who will bring diverse perspectives and experiences to our organization. We recruit from organizations across all industries: our team has hailed from sectors including start-ups, government, consultancies, investment banks, and nonprofits.
Across our global offices, our culture is candid, analytical, non-hierarchical, and fast-paced. We value ability, adaptability, and willingness to learn. We offer competitive salary and benefits, as well as performance-based bonuses.
About this role:
You will be leading all aspects of the GiveDirectly Nigeria country office. Your role will build, fundraise for, and execute the Nigeria Country Strategy. You will lead the projects teams, fundraising, and external relations to achieve short-term goals (i.e. funding targets, annual KPIs) and drive long-term growth. You will be able to draw on resources from the partnerships, data & tech, finance and operations verticals, but will ultimately be accountable to both recipients and donors for delivering a gold-standard product. We are particularly interested in candidates with demonstrated success driving growth, as measured by dollars raised.
This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced professional, hungry for their next big challenge. The ideal candidate is motivated, big picture thinker, innovative, passionate about addressing poverty in Nigeria, and not afraid to roll up her or his sleeves to get the job done.
This role is being offered as a 12-month contract with extension based on performance against key metrics.

International Budget Partnership (IBP) works to ensure that all people, especially underserved communities, have the right and ability to understand and influence how public money – their money – is raised and spent. IBP is a nonprofit organization fiercely dedicated to ensuring governments use public funds to help those that need it most. In more than 120 countries, we pioneer new approaches to enable oversight of government taxation and spending.
International Budget Partnership (IBP) works to ensure that all people, especially underserved communities, have the right and ability to understand and influence how public money – their money – is raised and spent. IBP is a nonprofit organization fiercely dedicated to ensuring governments use public funds to help those that need it most. In more than 120 countries, we pioneer new approaches to enable oversight of government taxation and spending. IBP is a multi-cultural environment with strong camaraderie among mission driven people.
Through the Strengthening Public Accountability for Results and Knowledge (SPARK) initiative, IBP and its civil society partners have successfully piloted a model in seven countries that harnesses the collective power and political influence of grassroots groups and social movements to build powerful service delivery and budget-focused reform campaigns. Since its launch in 2018, SPARK has achieved significant, sustainable results at scale in improving... service delivery and fiscal governance systems. Critically, SPARK has centered groups that represent marginalized communities (including women, small-scale farmers & fishers, and people with disabilities) as the main drivers of change. That emphasis – on the role of powerful social movements and citizen groups – represents an important shift towards greater equity and efficiency in public finance practices. The second phase of SPARK will focus on four countries over a five-year period, including Nigeria.
