Context:

In a complex and uncertain world, the useful application of data for evidence-based policy and
action is needed now more than ever. Whether it be helping displaced people find durable
solutions in the face of climate change, to analysis that allows better forecasting of migration
trends and preparedness—managing human mobility to contribute to sustainable development
requires a data-driven approach.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has an abundance of information about
human mobility: With offices in almost every country, IOM is trusted by its Member States for
deep domain knowledge and field expertise. IOM has strategic partnerships with other United
Nations (UN) agencies and stakeholders in the UN Migration Network. It works directly with a
wide range of beneficiaries and enjoys a place at the forefront of data protection efforts within
the UN system.

IOM established the Global Data Institute (GDI) to harness the power of its data for operations,
making meaning of global migration patterns, and providing foresight. The Global Data Institute
capitalizes on synergies between its two units-the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) and the
Global Migration Data Analysis Center (GMDAC)-and collaborates with a network of regional
data specialists to illuminate the global data story of human mobility.

Organizational Setting and Reporting Relationships: The data analyst post is located in GDI’s
organizational setting to benefit IOM from extensive analysis of data. The data analyst reports
to a data specialist in GDI. The focus of the data analyst post is to generate and communicate
data-driven analyses and insights in support of decision-making processes.

The data analyst turns data into information, information into foresight and foresight into IOM
operations pillar actions and decisions. Through a range of data-driven products, the data
analyst helps colleagues identify and communicate facts, trends, and patterns along migration
corridors to support preparedness and “around the corner”, evidence-based decision-making.
