About the role

  • Lead the delivery of REACH Somalia’s analytical work on acute humanitarian needs at national and sub-national levels.
  • Support the development of a national Needs Analysis Working Group (NAWG) with OCHA, working alongside the Analysis Specialist to contribute to analytical framework design, aimed at regular inter-sectoral analysis and decision-oriented outputs for the ICCG and HPC.
  • Contribute to the design and implementation of the Real-Time Monitoring (RTM) system to support Area-Based Coordination, including synthesis of multiple data sources and support to joint analysis with ABC partners.
  • Review, synthesise, and assess secondary data from REACH, UN agencies, INGOs, and public sources, identifying data gaps.
  • Build contextual understanding and stakeholder networks at national and sub-national levels to ensure outputs are relevant, credible, and aligned with decision-making needs.
  • Lead structured analysis using IMPACT’s global Acute Needs Analysis guidance and defined framework, and translate findings into concise, high-impact outputs.
  • Draft and disseminate analytical products in collaboration with GIS, data, and assessment colleagues, and potentially present findings to coordination fora and donors, as required.
  • Ensure effective use of existing REACH data collected in Somalia and contribute to learning and methodological improvements for future analytical work.

Requirements

  • Strong quantitative and qualitative analysis skills: experience interpreting complex data and the ability to evaluate the quality of different data sources.
  • 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.

  • Prior experience in Somalia would be a strong asset.
