Organizational Context and Scope IOM is the only international inter-governmental agency with a specific mandate for migration and is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing technical expertise to support governments, migrants and host communities through a wide range of sustainable solutions contributing to end forced migration and/or improve displacement conditions. In Jordan, IOM works with the Jordanian Government and a range of partners to assist migrants in need, promote migrants rights, and respond to growing migration management challenges. IOM also participates in inter-agency coordinated humanitarian and resilience responses to the diverse impacts of the Syria crisis. Within the IOM Jordan Mission, the Programme Support Unit (PSU) is a cross-sectoral unit working closely with all thematic units to support the development, implementation, monitoring and reporting of projects and other initiatives. The unit coordinates closely with HQ and regional colleagues, as well as external counterparts and donors to support quality and well-coordinated programming and oversight. This includes supporting the implementation and monitoring of the mission-wide IOM Jordan strategy. Under the overall supervision of the Head of Programmes and the direct supervision of the Programme Support Unit Officer, and in close coordination with the Project Support Unit Coordinator, the Senior Programme Support Associate will be responsible for supporting the implementation of programming across projects and programmes in OPT.

Support PSU in research and drafting of project proposals, and in preparing for meetings with PMs and donors. Provide timely inputs to the IOM project management system (PRIMA) in support of the project development process. Support the PSU in maintaining information tools required to track service delivery and identify gaps, including reports, mapping, spreadsheets, and others as required. Support budget monitoring and timely implementation of projects by helping to organize the collection, processing, analysis, documentation of project data for reporting purposes, and by contributing to a systematic approach in data management, monitoring and evaluation. Assist in drafting and coordinating communications and advocacy products, such as talking points, briefs, newsletters, presentations, and key messages, as required. Assist in reviewing cross-cutting issues such as gender, children, environment and accountability to affected populations, and in reflecting these considerations during programme development and implementation. Perform such other duties as may be assigned.
