Position: Finance and Grants Manager - Reporting to: Executive Director

The International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers’ Association (“ICoCA”), founded in September 2013, is a multi-stakeholder initiative created to promote, govern, and oversee the implementation of a Code of Conduct (the Code) for private security companies operating in complex environments.
