We are currently looking for a Senior Data Officer to support our Yemen team in Amman.
Position Details
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, including multi‑sectoral household assessments, displacement site mapping, Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate analysis across Yemen to inform coordination, operational planning, and strategic decision‑making.
