**Pension Fund Director**:
**Introduction**:
The ICRC Pension Fund is looking for its next Director, a passionate and empathetic leader with demonstrated experience in a management position and skills in occupational pension funds, financial management, administration and governance.

**The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)**:
The ICRC works worldwide to provide protection and humanitarian assistance to people affected by conflict and armed violence. We take action 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 the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and with their International Federation in order 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.

**The ICRC Pension Fund**:
**Values**
The Pension Fund is committed to being a partner who listens to the needs of everyone, both insured members and the employer. In this way, it affirms its desire to offer services adapted to its members' different forms and life situations.
It has opted for a comprehensive approach to fiduciary due diligence that combines traditional financial criteria with those of responsible investment and applies irreproachable and transparent governance vis-à-vis itself and its partners.

**Ambitions**
The Pension Board wants to continue developing its services, policies, and management tools. In this context, it wishes to internalize administrative and technical management and advance the digitalization of document processing and workflow systems.
