    Who We Are

    IREX is a global development and education organization. We strive for a more just, prosperous, and inclusive world—where individuals reach their full potential, governments serve their people, and communities thrive. With a projected annual portfolio of more than $100 million and more than 600 staff worldwide, we work with partners in more than 100 countries in four areas essential to progress: cultivating leaders, empowering youth, strengthening institutions, and increasing access to quality education and information.

    The Senior Director (SD) will support the Vice President (VP) of Global Operations and Management (GOM) in providing strategic and operational leadership for IREX, a rapidly growing international NGO with 750+ employees operating in 100 countries and an annual turnover of over $170M.

    This position will serve as a key resource to the VP of GOM, helping to develop a clear vision of IREX's current and future operational needs and the systems required to meet those needs; spearheading new operational initiatives; incubating new competencies; and stepping-in for the VP of GOM to address operational issues that demand immediate attention when necessary.
