**We are currently looking for a Senior data Officer to support our Yemen team in Amman:**
**Position**
: Senior Data Officer


**Contract duration**
: 6 months


**Location**
: Amman


**Starting Date**
: 1 June 2026 (flexible)


****COUNTRY PROFILE****
Yemen continues to face a protracted, multi‑layered crisis shaped by conflict, economic deterioration, climate shocks, and access constraints, with reduced operational space in some areas and major funding shortages limiting aid delivery. As of 2026, Yemen has over 5.2 million internally displaced people, alongside 329,000 migrants and 63,000 refugees and asylum seekers, with 22+ million people requiring humanitarian assistance. Major information gaps persist due to restricted access in areas controlled by de facto authorities, disruptions to data collection systems, and reduced monitoring capacity following program scale‑downs


In response, IMPACT Initiatives is implementing a range of activities to support a needs-based, evidence-driven humanitarian response. This includes, among others, multi-sectoral household assessments, displacement site mapping, Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate analysis, across Yemen to inform coordination, operational planning, and strategic decision-making.


****POSITION PROFILE****
The Senior Data Officer (SDO) will serve as the technical focal point for all data-related processes within the mission, with a particular emphasis on quantitative methodology, statistics, and sampling design. The SDO will lead the development and implementation of robust data workflows across research cycles, ensuring statistical rigour, methodological soundness, and operational efficiency.


As the mission’s lead on data systems and quantitative methods, the SDO will support and advise assessment teams on sampling strategies, research design, and quantitative analysis plans. They will oversee the validation of data collection tools, design and implementation cleaning and analysis scripts, and will lead the production of analytical outputs including dashboards, summary tables, and statistical briefs.


The SDO will also be responsible for line-managing at least one Data Officer (DO) and supporting their technical growth. They will coordinate with the Research Manager and relevant assessment teams to align on priorities and deadlines and will serve as a central actor in troubleshooting methodological challenges and improving research processes.


This position requires a candidate with a strong background in statistics and data analysis, advanced proficiency in tools such as R, Stata, or Python, and experience designing and implementing sampling methodologies in humanitarian or development contexts. The ideal candidate will be highly organized, capable of managing multiple priorities, and able to work autonomously in volatile and fast-paced environments. A collaborative mindset, ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders, and a solution-oriented attitude are essential to success in this role.
