Description
IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian think-and-do tank based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organization aims to support evidence-based decision-making for humanitarian and development programming through data collection, analysis, and dissemination. IMPACT is the implementing partner of REACH, a multi-agency initiative created in 2010 that supports humanitarian actors to improve planning and decision-making through in-depth, reliable information and analysis. All of IMPACT’s programs are implemented in support of humanitarian coordination structures. IMPACT’s team comprises specialists in data collection, management, and analysis, as well as experts in humanitarian response, GIS, and remote sensing.
Mission
Strong quantitative and qualitative analysis skills: experience interpreting complex data and the ability to evaluate the quality of different data sources. An understanding of basic GIS processes and outputs would be an asset.
Understanding of humanitarian coordination system: understanding of the HPC and inter-agency needs analysis and assessments, and experience engaging with a variety of stakeholders (clusters, donors, UN agencies) across the humanitarian response.
Excellent analytical and critical thinking skills: a proven ability to identify trends, contextualize findings, and synthesise complex information into actionable insights for diverse humanitarian audiences.
Strong writing skills: experience producing clear, concise outputs for humanitarian audiences which combine text and visuals for maximum impact.
Delivering at pace: the proven ability to manage workflows and deliver high-quality outputs under tight deadlines.
Resilience, sound judgment and emotional intelligence: comfortable with working autonomously and with limited direction. Patience when things don’t go your way, and the resilience to continue in difficult situations.
Prior experience in the country/region you apply to would be a strong asset.
Profil
The main task of the (Senior) Analyst is to lead the implementation and delivery of the Acute Humanitarian Needs analytical product. To do this, you will need to:
Provide overall project planning for your context: align the country-specific workplan with global objectives, liaising with country coordination and HQ to ensure coordination, and ensure timely delivery.
Review and consolidate secondary datasets and provide proactive solutions for data gaps: synthesise data from relevant data sources in country (including, but not limited to, other REACH assessments, UN agencies and INGOs, and public data sources), evaluating data reliability, identifying critical gaps, and helping to decide where and how to launch targeted, light-touch, primary data collection.
Build contextual understanding and stakeholder networks: develop and maintain a network at county level to enhance understanding of the context and what useful outputs would look like, and support joint analysis with relevant stakeholders.
Lead analysis and interpretation: apply defined frameworks (e.g. Risk of Mortality) and IMPACT’s global analytical guidance to produce structured, consistent, and context-relevant analysis of acute humanitarian needs.
Draft outputs and support dissemination: draft the analysis brief, including working with GIS focals to produce visuals where relevant, and lead the presentation of findings to clusters, working groups and donors as needed.
Contribute to learning for 2026 and beyond: support lessons learned and propose improvements to the global analytical processes and guidance.
