Organizational Context and Scope
The IOM Coordination Office for the North Pacific oversees regional operations and strategic initiatives across the North Pacific Islands, focusing on disaster resilience, infrastructure development, and humanitarian assistance. IOM is set to receive funding for a multi-year disaster readiness project named Compact of Free Association READY (COFA READY), covering the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Republic of Palau (ROP), and Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI). The project covers two components: Component 1: Typhoon Sinlaku Reconstruction and Component 2: Disaster Readiness in ROP, FSM, and RMI. IOM is therefore seeking to recruit a dedicated Programme Coordinator (READY) to oversee the Component 2 (Disaster Readiness) activities across RMI, FSM and ROP. The Programme Coordinator will also serve as the Programme Manager for the programme activities in FSM.
Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission (CoM) and direct supervision of the Head of Programmes (HoP), and in cooperation with relevant units within the mission and Regional Office (RO), the Programme Coordinator (READY) will be responsible and accountable for the overall strategic oversight, coordination and management of the COFA READY Component 2 in RMI, FSM and ROP, including programme planning, implementation oversight, monitoring, reporting, resource management, and extensive high-level stakeholder and donor liaison.
