Mercy Corps is powered by the belief that a better world is possible. To do this, we know our teams do their best work when they are diverse, and every team member feels that they belong. We welcome diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and skills so that we can be stronger and have long term impact.
The Humanitarian Access Team (HAT) supports Mercy Corps programs throughout the region in four key areas: programs, strategy, advocacy, and security. The HAT analytical unit develops a range of information products centered on primary and secondary analysis, and interfaces with relevant international organizations in order to gather and collate relevant conflict, access, economic and stakeholder information. The HAT also serves as a real-time information hub, developing timely reports, developing new data measurements and forecasting methodologies to assist humanitarian responders, as well as program related mapping for key decision makers.
The selected candidate will lead the Mercy Corps’ internal analytics teams (Program Area Assessments and Enhanced Due Diligence), providing programmatic teams and senior management with key analysis to inform and assist teams to make evidence- based decisions. The PA/EDD Manager will be in charge of two units developing a range of analytical outputs, as well as being the internal face of HAT analysis for programmatic needs. This will require interacting on a daily basis with Area Directors, Operations Directors and Security Directors within MC Syria, also presenting key findings to external audiences including donors, highlighting localized contexts, actor mapping and security challenges. The PA/EDD Manager will also be in charge of developing the skills of the internal teams, ensuring that a high level of analytical outputs are delivered by the units, and the capacity of the teams are consistently developed. Finally, the PA/EDD Manager will also be expected to contribute to external-facing strategic analysis, ensuring cross-pollination of research, assessment, and analysis of PAAs and EDDs with thematic, situation, and scenario reporting.
