What we do

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) works worldwide to provide humanitarian assistance to people affected by conflict and armed violence. We act in response to emergencies and at the same time promote respect for international humanitarian law. We are an independent and neutral organization, and our mandate stems essentially from the Geneva Conventions of 1949. We work closely with National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and with their International Federation to ensure a concerted, rational and rapid humanitarian response to the needs of the victims of armed conflict or any other situation of internal violence. We direct and coordinate the international activities conducted in these situations.

Purpose

Digitalization and new technologies have an increasingly important role in today’s humanitarian activities. As humanitarian organizations become more active in and reliant on new and digital technologies, they evolve from being simple bystanders to being fully-fledged partners in cyberspace, vulnerable to harmful cyber operations that could impact on their capacity to protect and assist people affected by armed conflict. In addition to adverse cyber operations, this leads humanitarian organizations to face numerous other novel challenges, as illustrated in more detail here below.
Considering the complexity of the challenges linked to the above, the ICRC has decided to start exploring and piloting the possible setup that will be required to run digital services on a global scale before such services are available for large scale deployment, through a Delegation for Cyberspace.
This involves creating a testing ground in which the ICRC can pilot and deploy supporting R&D technology, and in which it can safely engage in a dialogue with host authorities.

Role description

The Head of Technology is in charge of all the R&D activities of the Delegation for Cyberspace. S/he is fully accountable for the delivery, run and maintenance of the R&D environment of the Delegation for Cyberspace vis-à-vis the ICRC.

Manages the procurement process/contractual agreements (hardware and software) with partners and ensures that the Delegation for Cyberspace, where necessary, is equipped and capable to respond to increased demand for its R&D projects properly managing capacity and capabilities.
Resolves the complex and unusual challenges linked to developing an R&D environment; to test suitable technology; to sustain and support digital services in humanitarian action; and contribute to the related discussions on legal, ethical, policy, and operational aspects.
