The Violence Prevention and Response Technical Unit (VPRU) works to promote innovation, quality standards, direct technical assistance, and learning for protection programming across IRC’s country offices and regions. This includes work across the streams of women’s protection and empowerment (WPE), child protection (CP), and protection rule of law (PRoL), as well as integrated protection approaches. 

Case management is a fundamental part of service provision across all protection work, and one that relies on having access to comprehensive and real-time data to inform decision-making. The primary role of the Case Management Data Senior Specialist is to strengthen the quality and use of case management data and information management systems (IMS) across IRC programming. 

Key functions of this role include working with technical leads to maintain centralized guidance and protocols on case management IMS and data; supporting country teams with resources and system administration, rollout, and training for the Primero digital platform and other related platforms; streamlining and conducting regular data analysis across IMS platforms and protection streams; and engaging with global and country teams to gather feedback and provide targeted troubleshooting. In addition to this routine support, the Senior Specialist will also contribute to wider VPRU case management and learning strategy discussions, as well as external discussions on case management IMS and data practices. 

This position will sit within the VPRU monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning (MEAL) team.
