This dynamic role requires a minimum of 5 years of experience in implementing HRBA principles, working with or in humanitarian and development settings, and driving impactful solutions at the crossroads of development and humanitarian work.

The ideal candidate will have solid international experience promoting human rights, knowledge of human rights and IHL frameworks, and hands-on experience implementing the PANEL Principles in different country contexts. Additionally, they will have a proven track record of working with global civil society landscapes, particularly human rights networks in the Global South, and the role of faith-based actors.

  • Implementing HRBA Principles: Ensure that DCA's programme and project activities integrate the fundamental principle of applying a Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA) and PANEL Principles in alignment with DCA's global strategy, policies, and guidelines.
  • Supporting Learning and Capacity Sharing: Enable experience and learning sharing between country offices and partners to benefit DCA programmes and projects globally in long-term development and humanitarian programmes from an integrated programming and triple nexus approach.
  • Providing Technical Guidance: Support and guide projects, programmes, and units to implement the HRBA approach and FIGHT Extreme Inequality intervention areas for efficient implementation and documentation of results and evidence of change.
  • Engaging in Policy and Advocacy: Follow global trends, assess their relevance for DCA, and connect with local developments in DCA country programmes, including in the areas of tech & human rights and young people's democratic voices.

We offer a competitive salary based on DCA's collective agreement, with a comprehensive pension and insurance package. Our full-time position includes flexible work hours with the opportunity to work from home one day a week. We encourage applicants of all backgrounds to apply, and we will assist with the process of obtaining a work permit in Denmark.
