Responsabilités

Seeking a candidate with a strong academic background in education to serve as an Education Thematic Focal Point. Responsibilities include collaborating with teams to develop and implement educational programs, ensuring alignment with strategic goals and best practices. The ideal candidate will possess expertise in curriculum design, assessment methodologies, and educational leadership, along with the ability to analyze data to inform decision-making. Additionally, this role requires excellent communication skills to engage stakeholders and promote continuous improvement in educational initiatives. The Migration Youth and Children Platform (MCP) seeks to empower young individuals and children affected by migration through targeted support initiatives. This role demands extensive expertise in migration issues, child protection, and youth engagement, along with proficiency in program development and implementation. Key responsibilities include designing and overseeing youth-focused programs, collaborating with stakeholders across sectors, and ensuring that services align with the needs of migrant populations. The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to work in diverse, often challenging environments. A commitment to safeguarding children and promoting their rights is essential, as is experience in advocacy, policy development, or related fields. We are seeking a highly motivated professional to join our remote team, enabling flexible work from any location. The ideal candidate will possess a minimum of three years of relevant experience, along with strong organizational and communication skills, and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision. Proficiency in essential productivity tools, including project management software and video conferencing platforms, is required. Additionally, the role demands exceptional time management, adaptability to changing priorities, and a commitment to meeting deadlines in a fast-paced, virtual environment. Collaborative yet self-driven, the successful applicant will thrive in a dynamic setting where accountability and proactive problem-solving are paramount. A dynamic nonprofit organization, or non-governmental organization (NGO), is seeking a dedicated professional to join its team. The ideal candidate must possess a strong commitment to the organization’s mission, along with a proven ability to manage multiple responsibilities efficiently. Key qualifications include relevant experience in nonprofit operations, fundraising, or community engagement, as well as excellent communication and organizational skills.

Responsibilities include crafting compelling narratives, managing cross-functional projects, and ensuring alignment with organizational goals. Proficiency in written and verbal communication, along with a results-driven mindset, is essential for success in this role. We are seeking a professional who can work remotely, providing flexible, location-independent employment opportunities. The ideal candidate will have experience in a similar role, proficiency with various digital communication tools, and the ability to manage time effectively while maintaining productivity outside a traditional office environment. Key responsibilities include collaborating with teams virtually, completing assigned tasks within deadlines, and ensuring clear, consistent communication with colleagues and supervisors.

About the Role Thematic Focal Points within the DELIVER unit spearhead advocacy initiatives in their designated domains, orchestrating cohesive positions, interventions, and campaigns. Serving as pivotal liaisons among youth constituencies, the THINK unit’s research findings, and external stakeholders, they ensure policy engagement is strategically impactful, equitable, and grounded in empirical evidence. Reporting directly to the Director of Advocacy & Campaigns, they play a central role in advancing the unit’s objectives. A fully remote volunteer role is available in the thematic domain of education, focusing on advancing inclusive and equitable learning opportunities for migrant and refugee children and youth. The position underscores education as a transformative pathway toward empowerment, social integration, and peace building. Successful candidates are expected to dedicate 5 to 7 hours weekly to this commitment. Oversee and execute a range of critical duties essential to the role, including managing day-to-day operations, coordinating team efforts, and ensuring alignment with organizational goals. Develop and implement strategic initiatives to enhance efficiency, productivity, and overall performance.

Maintain compliance with industry regulations and internal policies while upholding high standards of quality and accountability. Serve as a key liaison between departments, stakeholders, and leadership to facilitate seamless workflows and decision-making.

  • Develop and implement advocacy strategies and initiatives tailored to the designated thematic focus, producing policy briefs, strategic interventions, and key messaging frameworks for high-level discussions while representing MCP and amplifying youth perspectives in external forums and engagements. We will partner with Research Leads in the THINK unit to develop and implement advocacy strategies grounded in evidence, creating frameworks that enhance youth and constituency engagement by working closely with the ENGAGE unit. Additionally, we will contribute strategic inputs to MCP programming initiatives within the Secretariat, ensuring alignment with overall organizational objectives. Develop and execute communications strategies and campaigns tailored to your specific thematic area, collaborating closely with fellow Thematic Focal Points and supporting Officers to address shared priorities across initiatives.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
