Background As part of the implementation of the Country Operations and Cooperation Model (CO-OP 3.0), NRC Chad is reorganising its operational presence in eastern Chad to align its structure with the Country Office's geographical and operational priorities. Under this model, an Area Office serves as the primary operational management hub, with delegated authority for programme implementation and oversight of support functions within a defined geographical area. In contrast, a Field Office is primarily responsible for the direct implementation of projects under the supervision of an Area Office and operates with a lighter management and support structure. To align its organisational structure with this operating model, NRC Chad has decided to relocate its Area Office to Iriba and redesignate Adré as a Field Office. This transition is expected to be completed by September 2026. The Area Manager will be based in Iriba to lead and manage the newly established Area Office for Eastern Chad, covering Wadi Fira and Ennedi Est prefectures (Iriba hub) and overseeing the Adré Field Office (Ouaddaï) through the Field Office Manager. This position carries full managerial responsibility for a team of 82 staff and a portfolio of NOK 102M across six Core Competencies. Find out more about NRC https: What we are looking for

As Area Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring high-quality, cost-effective programme implementation and strong area-level management across Eastern Chad.

  • •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
