We are currently looking for a Senior Assessment Officer to support our team in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt):

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 territories (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.

Under the line management of the CCCM Cluster Coordinator and the IMPACT Shelter, Sites, and Displacement Research Manager, the Senior IMO will support the CCCM cluster in Gaza in improving and strengthening response analysis, operational coordination and mapping of gaps and needs.

This position requires strong IM including database and data analysis skills, prior experience in an emergency context, an analytical mind, creativity, independence, and an interest in the regional context. Candidates should have strong writing and presentation skills and be able to clearly think through and articulate implications of findings and methodologies.
