About the job
General objective:
The Program Deputy Field Coordinator (P-DFC) is in charge of supervising the implementation of programs in Rakhine State.

She/He oversees the quality of project implementation through the direct management of Program Managers. She/he also supports the Field Coordinator (FC) in his representing tasks in external
meetings under FC delegation.
The main challenges:
Highly volatile and unpredictable operational environment due to ongoing conflict and security constraints, impacting program planning and implementation Recently recruited Project Managers requiring targeted capacity building, close accompaniment, and strengthened managerial support Challenging and uncertain donor environment, requiring increased efforts in gaps and needs analysis, advocacy, proposal development and potential adaptation of the HR and programmatic structure Need to maintain strong program quality, coordination and accountability mechanisms while operating under sensitive modalities (e.g. RRM, partnerships)Priorities for the first month:
Get familiar with ongoing projects, team structures and operational procedures Meet with Program and MEAL staff to understand their roles and capacities, identifying ways of working, strengths and weaknesses Review existing actor mapping and coordination mechanisms with local authorities, partners, and clusters Analyze available assessments and reports to understand priority needs and service coverage Support fundraising efforts (e.g. proposal writing, advocacy)Security constraints:
Security in Kharkiv remains volatile. Since early , air raid alerts have continued, though their frequency has decreased by around 50% following the introduction of the separate oblast/city alert system. Despite this, repeated alerts continue to create sustained stress for residents and staff. SI’s security setup provides strong mitigation measures, including a relatively less targeted location of the premises (office and guesthouses) and external security monitoring for air-raid alerts outside working hours.
