About ICARDA
The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) is an international autonomous, non-profit, research organization supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR).
ICARDA’s mission is to reduce poverty, enhance food, water and nutritional security, as well as environmental health in the face of global challenges including climate change. We do this through innovative science, strategic partnerships, linking research to development and capacity development that take into account gender equality and the role of youth in transforming the dry areas. ICARDA works in partnership with governments, universities, civil society, national agricultural research organization, other CGIAR research Centers, and the private sector. With its temporary Headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon, ICARDA operates in regional and country offices across Africa, Asia and the Middle East. For more information: www.icarda.org
All CGIAR Centers are currently engaged into a transformation effort (“the “OneCGIAR’”) that will help the CGIAR achieve better impact through more strategically integrated research, unified governance, an integrated structure (including in Human Resources) and new research modalities across the 12 participating centers. This transformation is supported by donors who have committed to increased funding.
Main purpose of position

The Senior HR Executive oversees two HR Assistants.
With the current transition of ICARDA into the One CGIAR, the Senior HR Executive needs to ensure operational continuity of the unit in the midst of all the change initiatives.
