Project Context and Scope

The ICT Department partners with programmes and stakeholders across IOM to support, enable, and facilitate delivery of the Organization’s mandate through the strategic use of technology and innovative digital solutions. In recent years, data and analytics have become a critical area of investment, with IOM progressively adopting modern data platforms to enhance decision-making, operational efficiency, and the design of migrant-focused services.

As part of this effort, IOM has developed a central Microsoft Fabric platform in collaboration with Microsoft, serving as the foundation for its enterprise-wide data ecosystem. However, data stewardship and ownership are now distributed across various departments, requiring a collaborative, cross-functional approach to ensure data is effectively integrated and made available for actionable insights.

This Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Associate (Data Engineer) falls under the overall supervision of the ICT Officer (Data Analyst) and will work closely with them to identify and integrate relevant data assets into the Microsoft Fabric platform. The role plays a key part in enabling secure, high-quality, and scalable data integration to support IOM’s digital transformation and evidence-based programming.
