CARE is seeking a talented INGO (International Non-Government Organization) Safety Advisory Office (ISAO) Operations Manager dedicated to informing INGOs in Yemen on the safety and security context for the protection of their staff and assets and the continuation of programming.

The ISAO Operations Manager position will be responsible to maintain high standards across all of ISAO’s services and project implementation, directly managing the operations analysts, thematic projects, and research projects, while at the same time broadening our network of contacts and being responsible for the conducting or facilitation of trainings and workshops. The operations manager will report directly to the ISAO project manager. ISAO is hosted by CARE International, though has separate offices in Sana’a and Aden.

The Operations Manager is intended to strengthen the organizational capacity of ISAO through internal capacity building, the development of new products, the creation of relevant training modules and the institutionalizing of contextual knowledge on the country. Particular projects that would be managed include road profiling, GIS mapping support, thematic reports, governorate profiles, conflict mapping and ISAO’s training mandate. Though ISAO has a Scope of Services approved by the INGO community, the operations manager will assess the needs of the INGO community to determine how ISAO can tailor its products to the most effective use – including the creation of new products and services. The position will also involve budgetary and reporting responsibilities for the various projects that he/she will manage.
