Crisis Analysis Data/GIS Specialist - Amman, الأردن - Mercy Corps-Syria Response Office
وصف
"About Mercy CorpsMercy 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 they belong. We welcome diverse backgrounds,
perspectives, and skills so that we can be stronger and have long-term impact.
The Program / Department / Team (Program / Department Summary)
Mercy Corps has developed a Crisis Analytics function to support our programming in the most complex contexts,
including throughout the Middle East, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ukraine, and others. The Crisis
Analysis-Syria (CA-SYR) supports Mercy Corps' in-country programming as well as the wider humanitarian
response in the region through the provision of quality, timely, and relevant analytical products.
Mercy Corps' crisis analysis teams aggregate and analyze quantitative and qualitative data to improve
decision-making and access in complex crises. The teams directly contribute to data-driven decision-making by
layering information from primary sources, open sources, and responders' programmatic data, which subject
matter experts and data scientists analyze. This analysis is grounded in Mercy Corps' status as an operational
NGO, keeping our products constructive and relevant for humanitarian responders and donors within a given
crisis. Crisis analysis also serves as a real-time information hub; vets potential partners; assesses programmatic,
partner, and operational risk; identifies and maps stakeholders; and works with internal partners to better enable
data-driven decision-making.
The Position
The Data/GIS Specialist is a key position with the CA-SYR team, responsible for multi-thematic quantitative and
geospatial analysis. The Data/GIS Specialist will be expected to quickly develop and maintain a real-time
understanding of multidisciplinary topics with a focus on multidisciplinary trends across the Middle East, inclusive
of economics, climate change, agriculture, security, social cohesion, and humanitarian trends. Leveraging
primarily quantitative data analytical skills, s/he will identify and manage quantitative data, execute statistical and
geospatial analysis, create data visualizations and maps, and provide written narratives describing and explaining
the findings for non-technical audiences within the humanitarian community. S/he will work with other
qualitative-oriented analysts and specialists to provide analyses that feed into decision-making for Mercy Corps'
Middle East programming and strategy. S/he will leverage these analytical products to forecast humanitarian and
economic needs and anticipated knock-on effects of crisis and conflict. S/he will be responsible for delivering
outputs for monthly reports, in-depth reports with a thematic focus, dashboards, and other quantitative products.

multiple hypotheses, a strong sense of discretion, and excellent research and writing skills, preferably in English
and Arabic. In addition to having a strong technical background and research experience, the role requires
someone with a can-do attitude who is able to multitask, communicate effectively, and prioritize responsibilities in
a fast-paced environment. Competitive candidates will showcase a willingness to creatively solve problems and
work on multiple priorities under tight deadlines.
Living Conditions / Environmental Conditions

programs, which may include travel to insecure locations where freedom of movement is limited and areas where
amenities are limited.
Ongoing Learning
In support of our belief that learning organizations are more effective, efficient and relevant to the communities we
serve, we empower all team members to dedicate 5% of their time to learning activities that further their personal
and/or professional growth and development.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Achieving our mission begins with how we build our team and work together. Through our commitment to
enriching our organization with people of different origins, beliefs, backgrounds, and ways of thinking, we are
better able to leverage the collective power of our teams and solve the world's most complex challenges. We
strive for a culture of trust and respect, where everyone contributes their perspectives and authentic selves,
reaches their potential as individuals and teams, and collaborates to do the best work of their lives.
We recognize that diversity and inclusion is a journey, and we are committed to learning, listening and evolving to
become more diverse, equitable and inclusive than we are today.

out diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and skills so that we can be collectively stronger and have sustained

team members, community members, program participants or others, are treated with respect and dignity. We are
committed to the core principles regarding prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse laid out by the UN

our team members. As part of our commitment to a safe and inclusive work environment, team members are
expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner, respect local laws and customs, and to adhere to
