InterEuropean Human Aid Association (IHA) is a grassroots organisation providing humanitarian aid and assistance to refugees, asylum seekers and people in need. We support thousands of individuals in Northern Greece with essential relief supplies, as well as providing a space for learning, integration and building community. IHA has operated in Northern Greece since 2016 and is currently running a warehouse in Diavata and a community centre in Lagadikia. We strongly focus on providing support around the principle of dignity first. We work collaboratively and are open to building new connections, while making sure to maintain sustainable operations for our team and our target group, and remaining flexible and independent.
IHA has operated in Northern Greece for nine years, building a strong network with humanitarian grassroots organisations, as well as with local actors and initiatives supporting forcibly displaced people in Europe. Today, IHA operates in Northern Greece, primarily in supply management, logistics, informal education, community building, and inclusion support. We work closely with local actors to assist people on the move to access services, develop networks, skills and tools, and move towards self-reliance and independence in their new place of residence, guided by the principle of dignity first.
IHA is looking to recruit a full-time Programme Manager to start in early April 2025. The Programme Manager is a key member of the Greece Management Team, acting as a focal point for local, regional and international partners, providing operational oversight, and serving as the main link between IHA’s back office and its team in Thessaloniki. The position is largely office-based. The Programme Manager contributes to the running of IHA’s projects by providing administrative and HR support, strategic guidance, organisational representation, and advisory support in the development and implementation of projects. The Programme Manager is a key contributor to the running of IHA’s operations, ensuring that projects fit in with the organisation’s objectives, and driving its further professionalisation and growth.
The Programme Manager works closely with the Logistics Manager, Project Manager and Team Manager (Thessaloniki-based, full-time), as well as the Operations Director (remote-based, part-time). IHA has a semi-flat hierarchical structure meaning that there is cooperation and dialogue across the organisation. The ideal candidate is intrinsically motivated, adaptable, passionate about the cause, and able to work on their own initiative and with limited supervision in a challenging environment.
IHA is an equal opportunity employer. We strongly encourage applications from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences, and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all team members.
