About Mercy Corps
Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. Now, and for the future.
Program / Department Summary
Mercy Corps’ Ukraine crisis response seeks to meet the humanitarian needs of vulnerable Ukrainians and other conflict-affected people where they are: displaced inside Ukraine, refugees in Poland, Romania, and Moldova - or trapped behind the frontlines. We aim to reach 500,000 vulnerable people with multi-purpose cash assistance, in-kind humanitarian support, and protection services across four countries. Almost all our impact will be delivered in partnership with Ukrainian, Polish, Romanian and Moldovan civil society organizations through a granting program that matches humanitarian action with capacity strengthening, and with peer international NGOs through a consortium in Ukraine.

Position Summary
The Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Officer will join the Ukraine response MEL Team and will work to identify data needs, help set up data systems and structures and oversee data management processes - including data collection, data analysis, reporting, and visualization. This position will conduct capacity building on MEL and MEL technologies and our implementing partner teams in the Ukraine Response.

What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone with a strong interest in data: collecting it, managing it, and using it in interesting ways and to improve our programs - and the lives of others. You must be willing to learn from our team and develop skills in field data collection and analysis technologies. Must have a personal commitment to data quality and security, an interest in quality improvement – and using data analysis to make decision-making easier, and more effective. Working collaboratively with teams of varying technical capacities will be a key part of this role so we’re looking for an independent problem solver who can ensure that program needs drive the technologies chosen and the support work conducted.
Any skills you have gained through education, volunteer, work, or life experience that are relevant for the position will be considered. Be sure to fully explain transferable skills and success factors and how they apply to this position in your cover letter and interview process.
