This role is being reposted; previous applicants remain under consideration.

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is a dynamic, international non‑governmental organization. We work with people affected by violent conflicts to enhance their security and dignity through unarmed civilian protection (UCP). We work to reduce violence and protect civilians in countries affected by violent conflict and its aftermath and to help transform the world’s response to conflict situations.

The Programme Impact Analyst & Consortium Manager (PIAC) plays a pivotal role in analysing the impact as well as providing technical oversight and guidance to a 1‑year project that NP will be implementing together with a research partner and a training and learning partner on protecting civilians from violence. NP’s primary role in the consortium is the direct implementation of civilian protection programming in Myanmar, along with the analysis and articulation of its process and impact/outcomes. The PIAC Manager will support the NP team in Myanmar with the collection and analysis of relevant data, articulating impact, and facilitating learning across partners. Approximately 50‑60% of the role will focus on impact analysis and 40‑50% on overall consortium management.

This position collaborates closely with NP’s Myanmar programme, the global programming and advocacy teams, and two consortium partners leading on research and training and learning. Tasks involve the monitoring of project implementation, adherence to deliverables, budgets, and commitments, as well as fostering regular dialogue and reflection between consortium partners and relevant stakeholders. It requires both strong analytical skills and the ability to coordinate a multi‑stakeholder initiative to ensure coherence, timely implementation, and strategic reflection.

NP in Myanmar as well as the two consortium partners will manage their own project autonomously, which provides the PIAC Manager the time to focus on impact analysis.

• Lead reflection and learning initiatives within and between NP country programme, NP’s global programming team, consortium partners and with key stakeholders to articulate and promote continuous learning about unarmed and nonviolent approaches to protection.
• Liaise with NP’s Impact Analyst and Programme Manager of a likeminded global project to identify opportunities for cross‑learning and comparative analysis.
• Support the Global Programme team in refining and implementing NP’s global MEAL strategy.
• Work with NP’s Global Policy and Advocacy team, NP’s Impact Analyst and consortium partners to translate impact data into persuasive policy and advocacy narratives and outputs for external stakeholders.
• Represent NP and/or the consortium in relevant coordination, advocacy, and governmental meetings/fora as needed.
• Explore opportunities to streamline the efforts between consortium partners as well as connect existing and emerging networks, communities of practice and learning institutes on the issue of unarmed and nonviolent approaches to civilian protection.
• Lead the consortium partners in strategising the continuation or expansion of the project and identifying opportunities for resource mobilisation.
• Lead and provide technical oversight and guidance to ensure coherence, project implementation is in line with project goals and donor requirements and NP's global mission.
• Ensure timely reporting of findings to consortium partners, donor, and other stakeholders, highlighting successes, challenges, and lessons learned.
• Coordinate the submission of accurate, timely narrative and financial reports to the donor, ensuring compliance and managing the response to feedback.
