About this role

Application Deadline : 6 November - 17:00 CET Contract Duration One-year fixed term with possibility of extension or renewal Language Proficiency Fluency in spoken and written English. Working knowledge of French, Spanish or Portuguese would be an asset. Location Global, remote Background The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) is an independent civil society organization headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, with a globally dispersed Secretariat working across 43 countries.

Founded in 2013, GI-TOC brings together a global network of more than 810 independent experts and a team of over 150 staff dedicated to understanding and responding to organized crime. Through research, analysis, policy engagement and support to civil society actors, GI-TOC works to deepen understanding of organized crime and strengthen effective, rights-based responses. The GI-TOC works to: Identify, analyse and map criminal trends and patterns of regional instability, and their impact on illicit flows, governance, development, security, conflict and the rule of law.

Connect and support civil society actors working on organized crime and corruption, and on their links to instability and conflict. Strengthen local monitoring and analysis of national, regional and international organized crime and insecurity trends. Job Summary GI-TOC is looking for an Monitoring Evaluation and Communications Officer to work across its two flagship environmental crime programmes. The role sits between programme administration and research, and needs both skill sets.

You will set up M&E systems across major projects in Latin America, Asia and Africa, working with environmental defenders, civil society organisations, law enforcement and the private sector. You will help build a body of practice on measuring the disruption of environmental crime networks and illicit economies, a field where good methods are still scarce. And you will make sure the impact of GI-TOC’s and its partners’ work reaches key audiences.

This is a growth role. Extensive M&E experience is not required, but you will be expected to upskill quickly and with dedication. Main Responsibilities and Specific Tasks Monitoring, evaluation and learning: set up M&E systems across projects; collect information to set and track baselines, targets and indicators across both programmes; review and evaluate narrative reports from partners, grantees and country teams; gather and write up stories of impact; and contribute to learning and impact reporting.
