M&E & Communications Officer

This is a growth role. Extensive M&E experience is not required, but you will be expected to upskill quickly and with dedication.

Main Responsibilities and Specific Tasks

• Monitoring, evaluation and learning: set up M&E systems across projects; collect information to set and track baselines, targets and indicators across both programmes; review and evaluate narrative reports from partners, grantees and country teams; gather and write up stories of impact; and contribute to learning and impact reporting.

• Measuring disruption: help build a body of practice on measuring the disruption of environmental crime networks and illicit economies.

• Donor relations: support donor reporting and correspondence, and help keep commitments, deadlines and deliverables on track.

• International coordination: support coordination across country teams, observatories and partners in Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia.

• Communications: make sure the impact of GI-TOC’s and partners’ work reaches key audiences, preparing summaries, impact stories, newsletters and briefing materials in liaison with GI-TOC’s communications team.

• Bridging teams: act as a connector between programme, research, data and communications colleagues, and with close GI-TOC partners, so information flows and work is coherent across projects.
