Humanitarian Access & Risk Manager

Relief International is seeking a qualified individual to fill the Humanitarian Access and risk Manager role in Sudan. This crucial position involves implementing and overseeing RI’s Safety and Risk Management (SRM) practices. The key responsibilities include managing and enforcing safety and access policies and strategies, conducting in-depth contextual analysis, enhancing the capabilities of safety and access teams within Sudan offices, and establishing and applying RI-specific safety protocols and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) throughout RI’s field and program locations across Sudan. The role is primarily based in the Country Office, but it also demands significant field visits to provide recommendations and guidance directly to RI’s Sudan Country Director.

The Humanitarian Access and risk Manager will offer direct support to the Sudan Senior Management Team (SMT) and the Country Director (CD), playing a pivotal role in overseeing operations throughout Sudan. This includes working closely with staff, partners, and communities to strengthen the capacities of sub-offices, delivering regular, timely analyses and incident reports to the CD, and if necessary, deploying in support of Country Office teams. Additionally, the role entails developing regionally consistent strategies for the effective management of safety and security across RI’s operations in the region.
