Introduction

Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations and the leading UN agency in the field of migration. Working closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners, IOM promotes humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It saves lives and protects people on the move, drives solutions to displacement, and facilitates pathways for regular migration, while providing services and advice to governments and migrants. 

IOM is committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive and supportive workplace where all employees can thrive professionally and feel valued. By creating such an environment, IOM aims to better harness the full potential of migration and strengthen its support to people on the move.

IOM invites candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply and provides reasonable accommodation throughout the recruitment process when required. Learn more about IOM’s workplace culture at IOM workplace culture | International Organization for Migration

This is an expedited recruitment process, open for applications from internal and internal-equivalent candidates only. 

Organizational Context and Scope

In a complex and uncertain world, the useful application of data for evidence-based policy and action is needed now more than ever. Whether it be helping displaced people find durable solutions in the face of climate change impacts, or analysis that allows better foresight for migration scenarios and preparedness—managing human mobility to contribute to sustainable development requires a data- driven approach.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has an abundance of information about human mobility. With offices in almost every country, IOM is trusted by its Member States for its deep knowledge and field expertise. IOM has strategic partnerships with other United Nations (UN) agencies and stakeholders in the United Nations (UN) Migration Network. It works directly with a wide range of beneficiaries and is at the forefront of data protection efforts within the UN system.

Under the overall supervision of the Global Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Coordinator and the direct supervision of the Senior DTM Coordination Officer, the Associate Data Engineer will be responsible and accountable for supporting analysis of disaggregated data sets by sex, age, and nationality as per donor need.
