Policy Coordinator IDMC

Vor 3 Tagen

Genf, Schweiz Norwegian Refugee Council Vollzeit

The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) is the world's leading source of data and analysis on internal displacement. Since our establishment in 1998 as part of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), we have offered a rigorous, independent and trusted service to the international community. Our work informs policy and operational decisions that improve the lives of the millions of people living in internal displacement, or at risk of becoming displaced in the future. The Policy Unit works on political and policy engagement.

IDMC’s authoritative work on data and analysis on internal displacement aims at informing policy processes at the national and global levels. The Policy Coordinator will support this objective by maintaining IDMC’s presence and voice in relevant policy fora, by identifying opportunities for informing policies and global initiatives, and by developing additional relationships with policy makers and relevant stakeholders. The Policy Coordinator will particularly engage in the preparation of the Global Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction 2025 and of the UNFCCC-related meetings and processes, including the Bonn Climate Change Conference and COP30.

IDMC is currently seeking a maternity leave replacement for a period of 5.5 months, starting from 1st of March 2025, to cover the position of Policy Coordinator.

What you will do:

Under the guidance of the Senior Policy Adviser, the Policy Coordinator will be responsible for:

  1. Monitoring and analysis of the most significant policy processes related to internal displacement, human mobility and related issues.
  2. Advice on the alignment between IDMC’s research and policy priorities.
  3. Representation of IDMC in relevant regional and global policy processes.
  4. Relationship building with relevant UN agencies, international NGOs and Permanent Missions in Geneva.
  5. Drafting of IDMC policy materials.

What you will bring:

We are looking for someone with at least 5 years’ experience of engaging in national, regional or global policy processes, including at least 3 years in processes related to international development, displacement, migration, peace and security, climate change or humanitarian affairs. You will have good knowledge of the UN system, globally and in-country, and experience of working within national and international policy processes. The successful candidate will possess strong diplomatic skills and have solid experience working in politically sensitive environments as well as engaging closely with proven diplomatic skills with senior government officials, UN staff, regional organisations, representatives of multilateral finance institutions, and similar bodies.

In addition, you will have:

  • Master’s degree or equivalent in political science, diplomacy, security and conflict studies, international development, migration, humanitarian affairs, disaster risk and climate change or related field.
  • Excellent communication skills and proven experience of interacting comfortably with diplomats and senior representatives of governments, UN, and regional and multilateral organisations.
  • Strong initiative and collaborative working style.
  • Fluency in English, both written and verbal – knowledge of another official UN language, in particular French, is a plus.
  • Ability to identify strategic political and influencing opportunities and capitalise on them.
  • Knowledge of human mobility issues in the context in conflict, generalised violence, disasters and climate change, or development.
  • Proven ability to convey complex problems in accessible concepts and terms, both verbally and in writing and to adapt language and messaging for different audiences.
  • Ability and desire to develop networks and engage with new partners for political influencing and informing policy.
  • Proven ability to clearly communicate research findings and their global and regional policy relevance as well as strong drafting skills.
  • Ability to apply judgement in cooperation with partners, plan own work and manage conflicting priorities and tight deadlines.

What makes this position attractive?

  • A challenging and exciting opportunity with an international team dedicated to improving the lives of the millions of people living in internal displacement.
  • 5.5 months full-time maternity cover.
  • Duty station: Geneva, Switzerland (candidates need to be EU/EFTA citizens or have a valid work permit for Geneva, Switzerland in order to be eligible for this role - please ensure to include this information in your application).
  • Salary and benefits according to NRC Geneva’s local terms and conditions. This position is a grade 7 on NRC Geneva's 12 grade salary scale, with a gross annual salary of CHF 94,668.
  • Flexible working arrangements.
  • NRC is an equal opportunities employer and aims to have staffing diversity in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, and physical ability.

We are also looking for people who share our values:

  • To be dedicated in what we do.
  • To be innovative with our solutions.
  • To act as one unified and inclusive team.
  • To be accountable to the donors that make our work possible; the beneficiaries that we exist to serve; and to each other… the members of our NRC family.
