Employer: GIZ
Location: Erbil
Closing date July 16, 2019
Minimising security risks to our staff is the highest priority. In order to achieve this, GIZ implements in its partner countries, in particular in countries with high security risks, professional security risk management systems. Security Risk Management Advisers contribute to the safety and security of our staff and operations and thereby support the successful implementation of development programmes and cooperation.
Your tasks
Your task as a Security Risk Management Advisor (SRMA) is to maintain and further develop a professional SRM system in order to adapt it to the local/regional context.
Therefore, you continuously analyse the security situation at your location/region in general and at project implementation sites in particular. You collect and evaluate relevant
information on the security situation and transfer results to the context of development cooperation.
You develop security, conflict and actor analyses, regular situation reports, district profiles and further research documents, in particular incident reports.
In addition, you are responsible for all aspects of everyday SRM operations in a volatile security environment, including potential emergency and evacuation scenarios.
Furthermore, you maintain liaison to multiple actors such as local and national authorities as well as international government and non-government organizations.
Additionally, you inform employees about changes in the security situation and implement directives for the protection of staff.
In case of emergency, you support the country director in crisis management. Advice regarding the security of GIZ infrastructure is also part of your task profile.
Your profile
In addition to a relevant university degree in security risk management, crisis management, regional studies, political science or similar, you have several years of professional experience in security risk management in the context of development or humanitarian work in conflict/crisis/fragile environments.
Profound experience in developing and implementing concepts for managing security risks in this context is a must.
A military or police background is neither necessary nor sufficient but might be considered if in combination with relevant work experience in the field of security risk management. Sound knowledge of the main actors and processes within the German development cooperation, especially in fragile and/or violent contexts are required.
Furthermore, you combine sound analytical skills with the ability to present complex information in an easily digestible way. You are working in a systematic and independent manner with little guidance. Under pressure or in critical situations, you are able to take decisions and ensure their implementation.
Moreover, with your excellent communication and advisory skills you are able to convince internal and external stakeholders of the importance of security risk management in your work context.
Fluency in English is a must. Profficiency in German and/ or Arabic highly desired.
