About ICRW:
The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) advances rights and opportunities for women and girls to ensure a more gender-equal world. For 45 years, ICRW has been the world’s leading non-profit building evidence and promoting solutions for how to improve the lives of women, girls and other marginalized people.

Overview:
The Director of Policy & Advocacy will provide day-to-day management, strategic direction, technical oversight and quality assurance for ICRW’s global and U.S. foreign policy and advocacy team and serves as a thought leader and expert on key issues championed by the policy & advocacy portfolio. Working with the Business Development (BD) staff, the Director will have fundraising responsibilities, including cultivating and engaging current donors, ensuring reports and deliverables are executed in a timely manner, and generating new concepts and proposals.
The position will require the ability to develop and execute strategy in an unpredictable political environment, and the Director must have strong skills in policy analysis, coalition building/management, direct advocacy, strategic communications for new and traditional media, staff management, and partnership building. The role will require subject-matter expertise and professional experience in gender and foreign policy and development at the global and national levels, especially with regard to ICRW’s priority research and advocacy areas, such as women’s economic empowerment; global gender architecture; feminist foreign policy; and sexual and reproductive health and rights.
