We are currently looking for a REACH Research Manager, Inter-Sector Unit to support our team in Iraq.
Title: Research Manager, Inter-Sector Unit
*Supervisor:*** IMPACT Deputy Country Coordinator
Contract duration:12 months (renewable)
Location: Erbil, Iraq (with travel to other bases)
Starting Date: ASAP
Following years of displacement and conflict, the Iraq context is increasingly transitioning to a post-conflict stabilisation and development phase. While reconstruction and development initiatives are underway – with significant international support – populations in Iraq continue to face problems stemming from widespread infrastructural damage, reduced access to public services, and economic decline. To support humanitarian decision-making and evidence-based prioritization, since 2012 REACH has been coordinating with humanitarian clusters and other national and regional coordination mechanisms to address information gaps and implement assessments. More recently, as the context continues to shift, REACH has supported development actors to improve humanitarian and development interventions’ effectiveness, efficiency, and efficacy, and encourage an equitable and needs-based transition to stabilization and development initiatives. Overall, REACH Iraq has led country-wide multi-sectoral assessments, informed cash programming across Iraq through monthly Market Monitoring exercises, extended technical support to CCCM and WASH partners, encouraged evidence-based approaches to durable solutions, and conducted thematic assessments and rapid needs assessments in response to contextual changes. More information can be found here.
Under the supervision of the Country Coordinator and IMPACT’s HQ in Geneva, the REACH Research Manager will be responsible for the management and implementation of assessments in the Inter-Sector Unit of the Iraq Mission, including preparation, technical guidance and follow-up. She/he is also responsible for related logistics, partner coordination, and reporting and finance requirements. Beyond the existing research cycles, the Research Manager will be responsible for driving the strategy of the Inter-Sector Unit, particularly as the context in Iraq continues to evolve into a humanitarian-development nexus. With the support of both the Deputy Country Coordinator and a variety of thematic experts from across the mission, s/he will be expected to proactively identify gaps in knowledge related to needs, design new approaches to tackle these information gaps and engage with a range of external organisations. The Inter-Sector Unit currently consists of seven staff members, implying substantial line-management responsibilities for the Research Manager.
During her/his mission, the Research Manager will be hosted by ACTED and will fall under the direct responsibility and management of ACTED’s Country Director and his/her delegates for all Administrative, Security, Logistics and Finance issues. She/he will therefore fully abide by ACTED’s Security, HR, Administration and Logistics rules and regulations.
