Job Location: Somalia
8 Months Fixed Term Contract

The starting salary package for this position is £67,656 GBP (approx. $83,500 USD) including all allowances.
About the role:
Our activities in Somalia aim at strengthening national level security sector actor capacities for managing weapons and ammunition systematically and safely. The overall objective of the role is to increase security and local capacity to account for and manage their SALW.
Field activity will include training of both field and headquarters staff of the National State Security Actors across the country, demonstrating and scaling up weapons marking and registration including supporting legislative efforts to mark civilian weapons, armoury/site risk assessments, agreements with authorities on prioritisation of interventions and the building and/or refurbishment of armouries/explosive stores.
This role will require time and resource management (in coordination with the SMiC) for the deployment and fulfilment of all AMD contracts. All work will need ownership of local actors and work flexibly to the timelines achievable with existing local realities and capacities.
AMD Technical Field Managers must be willing to lead from the front, responsible for the day-to-day management of our technical interventions and being involved in all aspects of organization’s project work, including administration, finance, procurement of equipment, reporting and planning.
About you:
You will be qualified and experienced in WAM/PSSM/SALW work, with previous experience working for a similar organisation, either in the humanitarian or commercial sector.

You will also need experience of coordination and liaison between national stakeholders and experience of delivering training packages to national authorities.
Experience of working independently for extended periods of time in ‘stand-alone’ environments with minimal supervision is also required.
Areas of operations are often remote with basic amenities, so applicants will need to be able to deal with living and working in challenging environments. The life-saving impact the work has on local communities is very real, and rewarding. This is a fantastic opportunity to be involved in organization’s life-saving work on a day-to-day basis.
Benefits:
