Data & Analytics Specialist

What we do

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) works worldwide to provide protection and humanitarian assistance to people affected by conflict and armed violence. We take action in response to emergencies and, at the same time, promote respect for international humanitarian law. We are an independent and neutral organization, and our mandate stems essentially from the Geneva Conventions of 1949. We work closely with National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and with their International Federation in order to ensure a concerted, rational and rapid humanitarian response to the needs of the victims of armed conflict or any other situation of internal violence. We direct and coordinate the international activities conducted in these situations.

Our Values

At the ICRC, we value impact, collaboration, respect, and compassion. We seek candidates who demonstrate behaviors based on these shared values. For more information on the ICRC values, please visit this

Purpose

The ICRC is actively working to improve its accountability to affected populations (AP). Aside from the continuous inclusion of AP in all stages of the program cycle, there is a recognition that AP access to the ICRC cannot be restricted to face-to-face interactions during ICRC field trips.

The Community Contact Centers (CCC) project was launched at ICRC Headquarters with the objective to standardize ICRC field-based initiatives of humanitarian hotline. As of 2021, the CCC initiative has become operational, focusing on system resilience, deployments to new countries and on product enhancements.

The Data & Analytics Specialist will play a key role in maintaining quality across Community Contact Centers by establishing and enforcing data quality standards and ensuring that performance metrics accurately reflect the Community Contact Centers' operations. Additionally, ongoing support in data analysis will help teams identify areas for improvement and drive better decision-making.
