Emergency Grants Manager
Description
About Mercy Corps
Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within.
Now, and for the future.
The Program / Department / Team (Program / Department Summary)
Mercy Corps is an international non-governmental humanitarian and development organization. It has been operational in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) since August 2007 and currently employs more than 400 national and expatriate staff. Mercy Corps’ country office is based in Goma, with sub- offices/bases in Beni (North Kivu Province); Bukavu, Kavumu, and Uvira (South Kivu Province); Bunia and Mambasa (Ituri Province); as well as Tshikapa, Kalonda Ouest, and Ndjoko Mpunda in Kasaï Province.
In 2023, we reached nearly two million people through our key activities in the DRC, combining long- term development programs with emergency humanitarian response to: 1) improve water service delivery and ensure equitable access to water, sanitation, and hygiene services in both urban and rural areas (WASH); 2) enhance food security and nutrition; and 3) promote diversified livelihoods, economic recovery, and development. Mercy Corps DRC’s humanitarian programs specifically aim to assist populations affected by conflict and crisis in eastern Congo through unconditional cash assistance and emergency WASH support to displaced persons, returnees, and host families.
Mercy Corps DRC implements ambitious programs designed to strengthen the ability of the most vulnerable people to overcome challenges and build their resilience in the face of one of the world’s most significant humanitarian crises. In this context, Mercy Corps DRC is seeking a Grants Manager for the Emergency Program for its Goma office.
The Position (General Position Summary)
As a member of Mercy Corps’ DRC Emergency Team, the Emergency Grants Manager will work closely with the Emergency Programs Director (EPD), the SAFER Consortium Director, and the Deputy Emergency Grants Manager to ensure the delivery of high-quality and impactful programming within Mercy Corps DRC’s emergency response portfolio. The position will contribute to humanitarian efforts across the DRC by supporting the implementation of life-saving interventions, including those under the multi-million-dollar, multi-donor funded SAFER program — a consortium of international NGOs working together to promote a rapid, principled, efficient, and effective response to humanitarian needs.
The Emergency Grants Manager will play a key role in securing new funding opportunities by coordinating or leading proposal development processes, while also ensuring the quality and timeliness of donor reporting and communications for ongoing programs. Additionally, the position will oversee and support the sub-award management process.
Essential Responsibilities
STRATEGY AND VISION

- Ensure program excellence and continuous improvement through innovation, systematic learning, and adaptability to evolving dynamics and contexts.
- Identify opportunities for innovative collaboration with other internal departments and external partners to enhance program quality and effectiveness.
GRANTS MANAGEMENT
