Kamara is looking to establish a pool of risk management consultants to support our in-house team to develop and deliver various short and medium-term holistic security projects.

What we are looking for

We are interested in hearing from risk specialists with strong and pragmatic technical capacities, social justice values, a keen analytical eye and excellent time management skills. We particularly welcome applicants with relevant lived experience who can bring diversity of thought to our approaches.

Responsibilities and deliverables will include:

Creating holistic security risk management frameworks appropriate for organisations, individuals, communities, and funders
Facilitating workshops, both virtual and in-person, to support implementation of mitigation measures
Building on existing organisational and individual knowledge to devise and deliver security management plans, protocols, and implementation support
Conducting research (e.g. context analysis, stakeholder mapping)
Identifying and strengthening the capacity of local coordinators and/or pro-actively fostering local support networks.
It is essential that candidates have:

A minimum of three- five years of practical operational experience of risk mitigation
Ability to adapt strategies and approach to the context and realities of our partners on the ground (for example individuals and groups who do not necessarily have access to the type of resource-support or infrastructure available to large NGOs or the humanitarian aid sector)
Experience in designing, developing and delivering virtual and in-person training programmes, using methods or activities (e.g. scenario-based simulations, mentoring, on-the-job training)
Experience in writing reports for different types of readers
Cultural and gender awareness and sensitivity gained through experience working with multicultural partners
Experience working in fast-paced environments
Fluency in English (both written and spoken)
Ability to work across multiple time zones (from South-East Asia to North America)
Ability to travel
It is preferred that candidates have:

Lived experience of social justice initiatives and/or in higher-risk environments
Professional qualification and/or a certificate in risk management and/or facilitation
Additional languages

Interested candidates should send their CV and a one-page cover letter outlining your suitability with the subject line “Application – Risk Management Consultant Pool [First Name/Last Name]”.
