Since then, SI has expanded the geographical scope of its interventions, establishing three operational field bases in Al Mokha, Taiz and Marib, with additional operational presence in Hodeidah and Abyan Governorates. The mission has a forecast budget of approximately EUR 11 million for 2027 and comprises approximately 4 expatriate and 70 national staff. The mission s objectives for 2027 are to expand into hard-to-reach areas and deliver quality interventions responding to emergency and protracted needs, while enhancing its longer-term resilience and development portfolio to strengthen water and natural resource management, food systems and livelihoods.

Direct reports: Base Managers/ Head of Bases of all operational bases Coordinates closely with programme and support departments and Security / Humanitarian Access; Staffing numbers by base: Marib 12/ ALM 24 / TAIZ: 15 SI was among the first humanitarian actors to access the West Coast and continues to operate in hard-to-reach areas close to the frontlines in Marib, Hodeidah and Maqbanah. SI aims to maintain this operational positioning and further expand its presence to reach underserved communities. About the job General objective: Lead SI operations in Marib, Al Mokha/West Coast and Taiz, ensuring quality implementation, resource management, compliance, accountability and follow-up of audits. Supervise Base Managers/Heads of Base and support operational planning. Coordinate closely with programme, support and security teams on access, risk management and programme continuity. Maintain strong security management and negotiation with authorities and tribes. Support partnerships, representation, country strategy and assess the potential opening of a new base in DFA-controlled areas in the North. The main challenges: Marib, Taiz and Al Mokha face significant security risks due to proximity to frontlines and the presence of multiple armed groups. Each area is governed by different authorities, making stakeholder engagement and coordination essential. Strengthening and enforcing security management systems is a priority. The bases benefit from experienced management teams, although some functions oversee multiple locations. Taiz is rapidly expanding its portfolio and operational footprint. For 2PHONE_NUMBER, the context requires a stronger nexus, resilience and consortium-based approach. Planned growth includes humanitarian, resilience and livelihood programmes funded by donors such as ECHO, EU, PRO, CDCS and potentially SDRPY and SDC. Localization remains a key priority, with four new local partners being onboarded and additional partnerships planned with universities and research institutions. Increasing access constraints due to shifting territorial control require sustained negotiations with conflict parties. Priorities for the first 2-3 months: • Review programme delivery, budgets, staffing, access challenges and key commitments across all bases; establish priority action plans and regular operational reviews. • Strengthen business continuity and access arrangements with the Country Director and Security/Humanitarian Access teams. Assess options for a potential DFA/northern base, including location, legal requirements, costs, staffing and feasibility. • Build staff capacity, particularly to support the nationalisation of Head of Base positions. • Expand local and international partnerships to improve access to new operational areas. Security constraints: Security conditions are particularly critical in Taiz and Hodeidah, two active frontline areas hosting over 2 million displaced people, including nearly 300,000 recent IDPs. Strict security measures apply across Taiz, West Coast and Marib, with some areas inaccessible to international staff. Curfews generally run from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., with slight adjustments in Aden depending on daily security assessments.
