**BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH**:
REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Programme (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, supporting and working within the framework of the humanitarian reform process. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.

IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis, GIS and remote-sensing. 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 organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, which allows particularly IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention.

ACTED is a French humanitarian NGO, founded in 1993, which supports vulnerable populations, affected by humanitarian crises worldwide. ACTED provides continued support to vulnerable communities by ensuring the sustainability of post-crisis interventions and engaging long-term challenges facing our target populations, in order to break the poverty cycle, foster development and reduce vulnerability to disasters. Their interventions seek to cover the multiple aspects of humanitarian and development crises through a multidisciplinary approach which is both global and local, and adapted to each context. Their 3,300 staff is committed in to responding to emergencies worldwide, to supporting recovery and rehabilitation, towards sustainable development.

**Country profile**:
Following the attacks on 7 October 2023 and Israel’s subsequent aerial and ground operations in the Gaza Strip, the humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) has deteriorated markedly. The 2.2 million residents of the Gaza Strip are facing severe humanitarian challenges, with urgent needs that must be addressed to avert further loss of life. Additionally, the hostilities in Gaza have heightened tensions in the West Bank, impacting freedom of movement, livelihoods, and the broader humanitarian context.

Against this backdrop, IMPACT Initiatives is planning a range of research activities to support an evidence and needs-based humanitarian response. In previous years, IMPACT Initiatives has facilitated inter-agency Multi-Sector Needs Assessments (MSNA) as well as sector-specific research in the oPt.

The REACH Deputy Country Coordinator supports the Country Representative in overseeing programmes internally, as well as external representation of REACH.

**POSITION PROFILE**:
REACH is currently recruiting for a Deputy Country Coordinator to, under the supervision of the REACH oPt Country Representative, oversee the programme management of REACH oPt. The role will involve oversight of all REACH oPt Research Cycles, line management of all Research Managers and Specialists, liaison with and reporting to donors, Human Resource management (recruitment and staff welfare), external engagement (external representation, partnership development, and maintenance), strategy development, through contextual understanding both of the crisis and the coordination structure, as well as striving for team cohesion. This person will be a key member of the REACH oPt Senior Management Team (SMT). The position will also at times serve as the Acting Country Coordinator in the absence of the CR. The position will be based in Amman with regular travel to REACH oPt bases.

**RESPONSIBILITIES**:
**Programmes Oversight and Quality Control**
- Provide high-level line-management to Research Managers (hereafter RMs), including effective delegation of day-to-day tasks to RMs, and ensuring all team members are fully aware of their job description, duties and responsibilities;
