International Consultant, Information Management Analyst (Retainer)
Organizational Context
UN Women is dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women globally. In Palestine, its work from 2023-2025 aligns with national priorities and UNSDCF outcomes, focusing on economic opportunities, social services, and governance. The organization aims to translate global norms into country-level action, promoting gender mainstreaming and coordination within the UN system. This role supports efforts to address the lack of gender-disaggregated data in humanitarian action and early recovery.
Job Purpose
This Information Management Analyst role is crucial for highlighting the gendered impact of the crisis in Palestine and enhancing the humanitarian response. The analyst will work with humanitarian actors and development partners to ensure the collection and use of sex, age, and disability-disaggregated data (SADD) in humanitarian response and early recovery efforts. The position also supports early recovery joint programming in Gaza, facilitating partnerships with women-led organizations and ensuring coordinated information management systems track progress and results for gender equality within consolidated reporting. The role reports to the Deputy Special Representative and is home-based.
Responsibilities
The Information Management Analyst will provide comprehensive support to UN Women's programmatic activities in Palestine. Key responsibilities include managing information for humanitarian and early recovery programming, offering technical and capacity-building support to partners on data collection and analysis, and collating reach data. The role involves adapting and implementing data collection tools, preparing technical reports, and developing data visualizations such as maps and dashboards. A significant focus will be on integrating gender into data collection and analysis for humanitarian action, supporting gender-responsive assessments, and building capacity for data analysis among local partners and stakeholders. The analyst will also contribute to inter-agency data management bodies, improve the accessibility of gender data, and support the Community Feedback Mechanism (WASIL) by maintaining its information system, analyzing data, and coordinating with suppliers and partners. Additionally, the role will support the information management framework for UN Women's contributions to joint programmes under the Horizon Fund, tracking progress, identifying overlaps, and producing portfolio-level analytical updates.
Work Experience
A minimum of two years of experience in humanitarian information management, including monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and results-based management, is required. Experience with cross-cutting issues such as gender, protection, or accountability to affected populations (AAP) is also essential. Desirable experience includes working in humanitarian response and coordination, utilizing digital data collection tools (e.g., KoboToolbox, ODK), data cleaning, validation, analysis, visualization, working with diverse stakeholders, and experience within the UN or NGOs, particularly in the Arab region.
