We are currently looking for a Senior Assessment Officer (SAO) to lead our Emergency Rapid Needs Assessment Team in Ukraine.
IMPACT is seeking an SAO to lead a small team of specialised assessment and field staff conducting multi-sectoral Emergency Rapid Needs Assessments in hard to reach and newly accessible areas of Ukraine. This team is a new initiative for REACH in Ukraine, and therefore will require a proactive, creative, and strategic profile to lead its development. This SAO will be responsible for engaging in relevant coordination structures tasked with responding to emergency needs, to identify information gaps and ensure geographic targeting, developing assessment methodologies, overseeing data collection, and drafting reports. The SAO will be required to regularly present findings of these assessments and engage externally with senior staff from the UN, NNGOs, and INGOs to ensure findings are received and understood by key stakeholders. Finally, the SAO will be expected to adapt and improve qualitative and quantitative assessment methodologies to ensure they remain relevant and responsive to the rapidly changing context.
This position is based in Dnipro, Ukraine, with regular travel throughout conflict-affected areas in the South, North and East of the country. As such, the ideal candidate will be someone who has previous experience operating in high-security contexts and has a high degree of demonstrated autonomy and decision-making in the field. Fluency in Ukrainian and/or Russian is a strong asset.
