Context
After years of close cooperation on humanitarian response, IOM has developed a strategic partnership with the European Union's Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO) to join forces in providing humanitarian assistance and protection in addressing the mobility dimensions of crises situations.
The incumbent will join the Humanitarian Response and Recovery (HRR) Unit in the IOM Global Office in Brussels, responsible for liaison with the EU. Under this position, they will contribute to IOM's humanitarian work by supporting liaison and fundraising with DG ECHO. They will not only gain insights in the projects, policies and functioning of IOM as an international organization, but also learn more about the current EU policy discourse on humanitarian aid and migration. And ultimately they will contribute to improving the lives of migrants caught in the most vulnerable situations around the world.
Under the overall supervision of the Global Thematic Specialist (Humanitarian Response and Recovery), and under the direct supervision of the EU Liaison Officer (Humanitarian Response), the incumbent will act as Project Assistant (Humanitarian Support) under the HRR Unit.
