We are currently looking for multiple (Senior) Analysts to work with out teams across acute humanitarian crises.

Position: (Senior) Analyst

Contract duration: 4 months

Start Date: 16 June 2025

Location: Multiple

Application Deadline: The first full screening will be done on the 14th of May, but early applications are heavily encouraged and will be processed as they are received. 

Role Overview

IMPACT is seeking multiple (Senior) Analysts to work with our teams across acute humanitarian crises. These roles will lead to a new flagship analytical output that provides a concise, actionable understanding of acute humanitarian needs across geographies and population groups within a crisis. At a time when the humanitarian sector is facing unprecedented challenges, these roles will play a pivotal function in ensuring increasingly scarce aid is prioritised according to need.

The (Senior) Analyst role at IMPACT is a unique opportunity to produce work that will directly influence humanitarian prioritisation decisions, including—but not limited to—the Humanitarian Programme Cycle (HPC), HNRPs, and donor resource allocation. Analysts will review and synthesised data, conduct structured analysis using IMPACT’s global analytical guidance, and produce a short, high-impact external brief, working closely with GIS, data, and design colleagues to incorporate visual elements where relevant. These roles would suit technical staff who enjoy working with large amounts of data, but who are able to situate the technical work they do in the bigger picture to achieve humanitarian impact.

What We are Looking For

• Strong quantitative and qualitative analysis skills: experience interpreting complex data and the ability to evaluate the quality of different data sources. An understanding of basic GIS processes and outputs would be an asset.  

• Understanding of humanitarian coordination system: understanding of the HPC and inter-agency needs analysis and assessments, and experience engaging with a variety of stakeholders (clusters, donors, UN agencies) across the humanitarian response.  

• Excellent analytical and critical thinking skills: a proven ability to identify trends, contextualize findings, and synthesise complex information into actionable insights for diverse humanitarian audiences. 

• Strong writing skills: experience producing clear, concise outputs for humanitarian audiences which combine text and visuals for maximum impact.  

• Delivering at pace: the proven ability to manage workflows and deliver high-quality outputs under tight deadlines.  

• Resilience, sound judgment and emotional intelligence: comfortable with working autonomously and with limited direction. Patience when things don’t go your way, and the resilience to continue in difficult situations. 

• Prior experience in the country/region you apply to would be a strong asset.  

• Additional skills as defined per context (see below table for further details)  

Note, roles can be at Senior Analyst or Analyst level, based on the experience of the candidate.  

What You Will Do

The main task of the (Senior) Analyst is to lead the implementation and delivery of the Acute Humanitarian Needs analytical product. To do this, you will need to: 

• Provide overall project planning for your context: align the country-specific workplan with global objectives, liaising with country coordination and HQ to ensure coordination, and ensure timely delivery. 

• Review and consolidate secondary datasets and provide proactive solutions for data gaps: synthesise data from relevant data sources in country (including, but not limited to, other REACH assessments, UN agencies and INGOs, and public data sources), evaluating data reliability, identifying critical gaps, and helping to decide where and how to launch targeted, light-touch, primary data collection.   

• Build contextual understanding and stakeholder networks: develop and maintain a network at county level to enhance understanding of the context and what useful outputs would look like, and support joint analysis with relevant stakeholders. 

• Lead analysis and interpretation: apply defined frameworks (e.g. Risk of  Mortality) and IMPACT’s global analytical guidance to produce structured, consistent, and context-relevant analysis of acute humanitarian needs.  

• Draft outputs and support dissemination: draft the analysis brief, including working with GIS focals to produce visuals where relevant, and lead the presentation of findings to clusters, working groups and donors as needed.  

• Contribute to learning for 2026 and beyond: support lessons learned and propose improvements to the global analytical processes and guidance.
