About The Role

Siren operates in a dynamic environment and according to agile project management principles. The candidate should not expect a structured environment. Instead, the candidate will need to apply key principles of monitoring and evaluation in a fast-paced, flexible, and responsive manner. The role is ideal for someone who is able to manage, and thrive in, ambiguity. The role offers ample opportunities for innovation and ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking, and candidates are expected to bring their own ideas to the table for how to achieve the program’s stated outcomes. A background in social media monitoring and analysis, communications, and/or peacebuilding is strongly preferred to apply for this role. Ultimately, however, we will prioritise the ability to learn quickly and sharp critical thinking capabilities over past sectoral experience. Individuals seeking a challenging yet intellectually rich experience are encouraged to apply.

Recruitment is ongoing. A selected candidate who thrives in the role can expect to remain in post for project duration (24 months).
