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), the Republic of Palau (ROP), and the Republic of the 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 Manager (READY) to oversee the implementation of Component 2 in RMI.
Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission (COM) and the Programme Coordinator (READY) and direct supervision of the Head of Sub-Office in RMI, the Programme Manager (READY) will be responsible for managing, coordinating and overseeing the activities under Component 2 (Readiness) of the COFA READY project in RMI. The role will involve close collaboration with the Component 2 Programme Coordinator based in Pohnpei and the Head of Programmes to ensure effective delivery of project activities, achievement of objectives, and compliance with donor and organizational requirements. The position will also work closely with RMI’s National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) in the delivery of project activities, and coordinate with relevant government counterparts, development partners, UN agencies and other stakeholders to support effective programme implementation.
