ASSIGNMENT

IMPACT has been active in Ukraine since 2015 through its REACH Initiative, a joint initiative with its sister organization Acted. Working across all of Ukraine, including hard-to-reach areas, its research supports and facilitates both emergency response efforts, as well as more long-term oriented resilience and recovery activities. IMPACT/REACH Ukraine has three research portfolios that focus on programming in each of these areas: the first covers the assessment and monitoring of humanitarian need that feeds into countrywide humanitarian prioritization, the second provides operational support to emergency aid in areas close to the frontline, and the third works closely with local authorities and civil society to address challenges associated with protracted crisis and recovery. 

 IMPACT is looking for a Senior Analyst to lead on analysis of acute humanitarian needs and community priorities in Ukraine, as well as providing cross-cutting analytical support to IMPACT’s consortium partners. 

 The position will focus on producing the Ukraine Acute Needs Analysis (ANA), one of IMPACT’s flagship analytical products that facilitates objective comparisons of needs both within and across different crises. They will also work on rolling out and piloting a Community Priorities Analysis (CPA) capturing and analyzing what affected people identify as their most urgent priorities and preferences. The CPA seeks to complement deprivation-based analysis of the ANA by providing insight into self-reported needs, concerns, and preferences of affected communities. Both products seek to contribute to informing national and global humanitarian prioritization decisions. As the focal point for producing both outputs at country level, the Senior Analyst will be responsible for reviewing and synthesizing data, conducting structured analysis using and adapting IMPACT’s global analytical guidance, and producing short, high-impact external briefs. The analyst will work closely with GIS, data, and design colleagues to incorporate visual elements into the final output.

 In parallel, the role will work with IMPACT’s consortium partners to strengthen the strategic use of evidence generated across consortium activities, ensuring that data, assessments, operational insights, and learning are synthesised and translated into actionable analysis to support integrated programming, coordination engagement, and advocacy. The position will involve cross-consortium analysis, liaison with partners, the production and/or quality assurance of analytical outputs, and strategic positioning of evidence within the broader humanitarian architecture. It will also work on complementing day-to-day monitoring and evaluation by consortium partners with more targeted synthesis of lessons learned and small-scale research on aspects of consortium work. 

 The position will be based in Kyiv, with regular engagement with partners and coordination fora anticipated.

FUNCTIONS

The responsibilities of the Senior Analyst are wide-ranging and require someone who is analytically rigorous, strategically minded, and able to operate effectively across multiple platforms and stakeholders. These responsibilities include:

1. Development of analytical products

• Evaluate data reliability and identify critical gaps.

• Ensure internal review and validation of the product before dissemination.
• Present findings to clusters, working groups, and donors as needed.

• Lead cross-consortium analytical reflection processes, including systematic reviews of impacts, lessons learned, and best practices, and facilitate the sharing of complementary findings with other relevant platforms (e.g. FCDO-funded consortia such as PULSE) to strengthen ongoing activities and inform the design of future programming; where relevant, carry out light-touch primary data collection (e.g. interviews with partner staff and beneficiaries) to support these processes.

 3. Internal coordination and quality assurance
