We are currently looking for an Senior Assessment Officer to support our team in Amman.
Under the supervision of the RER Research Manager (RM), the SAO’s role will centre around three primary objectives: 1) leadership of small-scale strategic RER pilots, 2) support for staff capacity building and innovation efforts for ongoing and planned assessments across all three RER workstreams, and 3) support to the RER RM in the continued development and implementation of the unit’s strategic objectives.
The SAO will have an important role in driving forward the workstreams and strategy of the RER Unit at a pivotal moment in the Syria response where it is critical that action around Early Recovery and Area-Based Programming continue to move forward. The position requires an adaptable and proactive profile that can be both technical and strategic, as the SAO’s role on a daily basis may range from coordinating with key external partners (e.g. Early Recovery & Livelihoods Cluster), to providing hands-on support to other RER staff in the development and implementation of high-quality RER assessments, to support with proposal development.
