Under the direct supervision of the Director of the Resource Mobilization Division (RMD), the Resource Mobilization Officer (Donor Intelligence and Analytics) will be responsible and accountable for providing expert support and advice for IOM’s resource mobilization activities in the field and Headquarters ( HQ) by strengthening IOM’s ability to gather, manage, analyze, visualize and act upon information and trends, ultimately towards the achievement of IOM’s Strategic Plan.

As such, the Division serves as a central hub to ensure a cohesive and effective approach to donor engagement and resource mobilization within IOM’s decentralized structure.

The Donor Intelligence and Analytics Unit within RMD is responsible for providing up‑to‑date financial and non‑financial intelligence on IOM’s active and potential donors, to senior management, resource mobilizers and other units. The position carries out desk analyses, reviews funding trends, and analyzes and facilitates the gathering of first‑hand information from donors to provide evidence‑based guidance.
