We are seeking a Research Manager to join our Global Humanitarian Planning and Prioritization Unit.
Humanitarian needs assessments must be impartial, unbiased, comprehensive, context-sensitive, timely, and up-to-date to inform effective and equitable prioritization of need. This requirement was designed to promote more effective response planning.
With funding from SIDA, GAC, and USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, we have supported the facilitation of independent Multi-sectoral Needs Assessments since 2016. These assessments promote a shift in how humanitarian needs are measured and response is planned, contributing to a change in approach by promoting needs-based, evidence-based, and people-centered decision making.
The Multi-sectoral Needs Assessment is a high-visibility, large-scale, annual assessment coordinated with humanitarian coordination structures and 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 manager, the RM will develop, strategize, and deliver for the Research and Development team. The candidate should be comfortable representing us with donors and coordinating with senior external partners. This position requires both analytical and managerial skills.
