The Opportunity

The post holder is expected to provide day to support and guidance to COs in both the Middle East and Eastern Europe in addition to maintaining close links with the Save the Children Headquarters in the UK.
The Regional Operations & Humanitarian Response team exists to support Country Offices (COs) and humanitarian responses in the Middle East and Eastern Europe (MEEE) region; working with CO Senior Management Teams and Response Leads to ensure our work for children is delivered on time, on budget with compliance and to a high level of quality. The team leads a variety of processes and procedures (many mandatory within Save the Children) such as emergency preparedness, response to shocks, spikes and major sudden-onset crises, risk management, improving our ongoing programme delivery, reporting and information management. Many of these processes are spread across numerous departments and teams in Country Offices, Regional Offices and SCI headquarters (the Centre), requiring a significant amount of coordination and collaboration.
As a key member of the regional office operations team, the Regional Operations & Humanitarian Affairs Officer will serve to support the team by serving as the coordination point for many of these key processes, strengthening information management, monitoring key performance indicators and supporting the Regional Office’s use of established systems and procedures – such as for humanitarian reporting, risk management and ad-hoc initiatives to improve our work for children.

S/he will play a key role in supporting countries in the effective scale up and management of Save the Children responses to increase impact and enable positive change for children in the MEEE region.
