EnCompass seeks a Gender and Employment Specialist for a five-year, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Women’s Economic Empowerment and Leadership Activity (WEELA) in Jordan. The purpose of WEELA is to contribute to increasing women’s access to waged employment and leadership opportunities in Jordan by improving women’s access to the job market, addressing inequalities and prohibitive social norms and traditions, and enhancing the workforce enabling environment.
The Gender and Employment Specialist will support the creation of research and knowledge sharing across WEELA’s implementation to ensure the Activity’s gender equality and social norms strategy is implemented in relation to adult and young women’s employment in the private sector and advancement in leadership roles in both the private and public sectors. S/he will join a team of WEELA experts that provide thought leadership and strategic coordination on gender equality, social inclusion, disability inclusion, and rights-based approaches for women’s roles in the workplace. S/he will work with other WEELA components to facilitate human capital development on a systemic level, working toward reducing the gender gap in the workplace for both women as jobseekers or women already employed, addressing the mismatch between skills and the requirements of the employer, and better accommodating women and the conditions under which they work to improve employee performance and contribute to the growth and sustainability of businesses.
This position will be full-time and based in Amman.
