Vernier, Genf, Schweiz IMPACT Initiatives Vollzeit

BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH:

IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative, AGORA, and PANDA. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis, and GIS.

IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in thirty countries.

The two organisations have a strong complementarity relationship formalised in a global partnership, enabling IMPACT to benefit from ACTED's operational support in its fields of intervention.


REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT and ACTED) and the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Program (UNOSAT).

REACH's
purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community's decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction, and development contexts.

REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services:
(a) needs and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.

We are currently looking for a Deputy Country Coordinator to oversee programming for the IMPACT Syria mission.

Position:
Deputy Country Coordinator (Programs)

Contract duration:12 months

Location:
Amman, Jordan

Starting Date:
August 2024

Country profile:

After more than a decade of conflict, conditions in Syria remain volatile and marked by violence and socioeconomic deterioration.

The scale, complexity, and severity of humanitarian needs in Syria extends the necessity for up to date, timely, and accurate information.

Evidence-based planning and programming remains paramount to ensure that the response adequately meets the needs of the most vulnerable people and is tailored to different realities across communities and over time.

REACH has been conducting assessments on the humanitarian situation in Syria since 2013 and has since grown significantly as an actor in the response.


The programming portfolio for REACH Syria currently consists of four research units (Humanitarian Situation Monitoring, Cash and Markets, Camps and Displacement, and Resilience and Early Recovery), in addition to cross-mission technical teams (data, GIS/ remote sensing, and database/ IT).


FUNCTIONS:

IMPACT is looking for a Deputy Country Coordinator (DCC) to oversee the program management of REACH Syria.

The role will involve oversight of research cycles (RCs), external representation, strategy development, human resource management, and project and grants development.

This DCC will be key member of the three-member Mission Coordination Cell (MCC), as well as the Senior Management Team (SMT) which includes Research Managers, Operations Managers, and department leads.

The position will be based in Amman, Jordan with regular travel across the region (including Northeast Syria; Erbil, Iraq; and Gaziantep, Türkiye).


The DCC directly supervises:
Research Managers (4), Data Specialist, GIS Specialist, Database Manager, and Crisis Analysis Senior Officer. The DCC also provides administrative line management to the Regional (MENA) Remote Sensing Specialist.

Additionally, the DCC is be expected to work closely with various cross-cutting roles, to ensure quality research and impactful dissemination, including Project Development and Communications Officers.

The DCC is also expected to maintain close communication with the larger REACH Syria operations staff (Field Operations and Operations Support).

Although the DCC will not be directly responsible for implementing operations, they will be expected to provide regular inputs and guidance and to support the CR in ensuring that field operations and operations support staff are able to deliver on program-identified operational priorities.


RESPONSIBILITIES:

The responsibilities of the DCC are wide-ranging and diverse, and require someone who is flexible, adaptable, and able to think on their feet

These responsibilities include:
Oversight of Research Cycles and team management

  • Provide line-management to Research Managers (4), Database Specialist, GIS Specialist, Database Manager, and Crisis Analysis Senior Officer. This includes effective delegation of day-to-day tasks and ensuring all team members are fully aware of their job description, duties and responsibilities;
  • Ensure that RMs are provided with the training and support required to independently manage their unit's RCs and technical responsibilities without intervention from the DCC. Conduct regular check-ins to plan and identify any challenges or bottlenecks and empower RMs to take personal responsibility for RCs. As part of this, proactively identify areas where they lack the capacity to work independentl
