### Strategic Analysis The International Rescue Committee's Global Grants Manager for Digital Transformation is a pivotal role that bridges traditional humanitarian funding with the frontier of AI and digital innovation. This position is not merely about managing grants; it is about strategically channeling resources into programs that harness AI to enhance efficiency, reach, and impact while upholding strict ethical standards—a critical balance in humanitarian action. As crises become more complex, digital tools offer unprecedented opportunities for needs assessment, service delivery, and coordination, but they also pose risks of bias, privacy breaches, and exclusion.
