Community Liaison Manager – Team Leader, Syria

This position is subject to funding. The starting salary package for this position is £48,904 GBP / approx. $65,400 USD including all allowances. This is an unaccompanied post.

About MAG:

MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is an international humanitarian organisation based in Manchester, UK, and working in 32 countries. We remove landmines and unexploded ordnance to release safe and productive land for communities, and work to reduce the threat of armed violence by supporting governments to safely manage weapons and ammunition. In 1997, MAG was a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for our work campaigning for the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention.

About the role:

Reporting to the Technical Operations Manager, you will lead the design, development, and implementation of community liaison strategies and activities, ensuring that they are aligned with programmatic and operational objectives as well as donor expectations, SNMAC requirements, and national and international mine action standards. You will provide senior-level support to the Technical Operations Manager and to MAG’s Syria programme to ensure that community participation in mine action is integrated into all project stages. You will also manage community liaison resources, staff, and national partners at a strategic level, and work closely between the programme team and management to drive improvements in processes, tools, and deliverables. You will foster strong relationships with partners and key stakeholders, and contribute to strategic and innovation-driven projects, pilots, evaluations, and studies, to reinforce evidence-based decision making and maximise programme impact and support to at-risk populations.

About the Syria programme:

MAG has been responding to the Syria crisis since 2013, working to support development by finding and destroying the explosive remnants of war so that communities can raise their families and pursue their livelihoods in a safe and secure environment, free from fear of death or injury.

Requirements:

You will be an experienced humanitarian with significant experience of community liaison programming, including developing, managing, monitoring and evaluating community liaison within Humanitarian Mine Action or Armed Violence Reduction.

You will be a skilled communicator, with experience building relationships with a range of Humanitarian Mine Action actors, including national authorities, Mine Action Centres, and international organisations. You should have excellent people management skills, with experience managing, mentoring, supporting, and training staff in direct and remote modalities. You will be self-motivated, analytical, and innovative, with a strong commitment to humanitarian principles and capacity building and a good understanding of the humanitarian, development, protection and mine action sectors. Fluency in English is essential, and fluency in Arabic would be advantageous.

We’re looking for someone with:

Significant experience in the development, management, monitoring and evaluation of community liaison programmes within Humanitarian Mine Action or Armed Violence Reduction, including EORE and NTS. Experience working with a range of Humanitarian Mine Action actors, including national authorities, Mine Action Centres, and international organisations. Sound understanding of rural livelihood, urban contamination, and international development issues.

  • 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.
