You will be responsible for providing implementation management and transactional support and capacity building , always with the aim of increasing quality, professionalism and creating efficiencies. Your work will focus on identifying challenges and providing innovative solutions to ensure high quality of HR services across the organisation. This also involves the use of data analytics to enable business decisions, for example by assisting field offices in the development of monitoring/planning tools for HR activities. In the performance of your functions, you will benefit from expert technical advice from IPAS HR colleagues if/when needed.
When deployed to a field assignment, your primary reporting line will be to the manager of the position you will fill. You will have secondary reporting line to the IPAS Surge Coordinator.
