Genf, Schweiz Impact Initiatives Vollzeit
Geneva with potential for travel (up to 20% field deployment)

We are currently looking for a Research Manager to join the Global Humanitarian Planning and Prioritization Unit in HQ.

Grand Bargain signatories required that humanitarian needs assessments be impartial, unbiased, comprehensive, context-sensitive, timely and up to date. This requirement was designed to inform more effective and equitable prioritization of need.

With the financial support from SIDA, GAC and USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), and co-funding from other country-based donors, REACH has supported the facilitation of independent, crisis-wide Multi-sectoral Needs Assessments (MSNAs) since 2016 to meet these criteria. MSNAs promote a shift in how humanitarian needs are measured and how response is planned, contributing to a change in the approach to planning, prioritization and decision making, by promoting needs-based, evidence-based and people-centered decision making. The MSNA is a high visibility, large-scale, and multifaceted annual assessment, which is coordinated with humanitarian coordination structures and a range of stakeholders across responses to provide an evidence base for yearly humanitarian prioritization and planning.

Under the supervision of the Global Humanitarian Planning and Prioritization Unit (HPPU) manager, the RM will be responsible for development, strategy and delivery for the Research and Development (R&D) team. The candidate should be comfortable representing IMPACT with donors and be able to coordinate and liaise with a range of senior external partners. This position requires a profile that can be both analytical and managerial, as the Research Manager’s job can range from coordinating with external partners (whether data actor, humanitarian cluster, or donor) to analytical oversight of research products to logistics.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
  • For this position, gross salary between 6’000 CHF and 6’330 CHF monthly (before income tax). NB – IMPACT salaries are strictly determined by our salary grid depending on the grade of the position and the level of education and experience of staff. A contribution to medical insurance of 450 CHF per month is already included in the salary figure.
  • Insurance covering professional and non-professional accidents throughout the period of employment with IMPACT.
  • Health insurance, life insurance and repatriation assistance in case of field visits/temporary deployments.
  • Enrolment in IMPACT Initiatives Research Foundational Learning Programme within the first 3 months from the start of contract.
  • Up to 40% of remote work on a weekly basis.
