Closing date: 6 Sep 2026 Background The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world's largest international humanitarian non-governmental organizations (INGO), at work in more than 40 countries and 29 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. A force for humanity, IRC employees deliver lasting impact by restoring safety, dignity and hope to millions. If you're a solutions-driven, passionate change-maker, come join us in positively impacting the lives of millions of people world-wide for a better future. Job Background / Overview The IRC runs a broad portfolio of enterprise applications across more than 50 countries, including D365, Workday, ServiceNow, Box, and M365, and a range of custom and integrated systems. As that portfolio has grown, architecture and integration have been managed across several teams and platform owners. The organization is now putting one senior owner in charge of setting the patterns and standards that hold across platforms, so this work is clearly owned in one place. The Director, Enterprise Architecture and Integration owns architecture and integration across the enterprise application portfolio. The role sets integration patterns and technical standards, owns the architecture decisions that span core platforms, and manages the teams whose work sits closest to integration and custom application development. It carries an architecture mandate alongside direct team management. The role works closely with the Head of AI and T4P Engineering and with cross-functional partners across IT, including GIS and Infrastructure. Major Responsibilities Architecture and Standards (30%) Own enterprise integration patterns and technical standards across the application portfolio, and set the architecture decisions that span core platforms (D365, Workday, ServiceNow, Box, M365 and related systems). Establish and maintain standards for how applications are built, integrated, and supported, and hold delivery teams accountable to them. Apply a configure-before-develop standard so custom engineering is the exception rather than the default, and provide architecture guidance on new solution requests and platform changes. Document the integration and architecture boundaries that have historically been managed informally, so the knowledge is held by the organization rather than by individuals. Integration and Custom Applications (25%) Own the integration layer across the portfolio: patterns, tooling, and the standards that keep integrations maintainable and observable. Set technical direction for custom application development, ensuring it follows the same architecture and standards as the rest of the portfolio. Partner with platform owners to
