NRC Syria looking for a Shelter Specialist to join the mission. The role holder will oversee all programmatic and technical aspects of NRC Shelter and NFI programming in Syria. In close collaboration with the Head of Programme and Country Director and the NRC programme team, they will contribute to advancing NRC’s integrated shelter, settlements, and infrastructure approaches, with a particular focus on market systems, urban recovery, and scalable, community-anchored solutions. Additionally, they will lead on the development of shelter programming, ensuring high-quality, context-responsive interventions that move beyond direct service delivery towards market-aware, systems-oriented, and settlement-based approaches.

  • Develop and oversee assessment tools, including settlement-level, HLP and market assessments, to inform programme design and scale-up, while strengthening linkages between community engagement, and participatory planning approaches, particularly in urban displacement contexts.
  • Work closely with MEAL teams to develop systems that capture system-level and market-level changes, beyond output monitoring.
  • Provide technical support on the recruitment and capacity building of senior shelter staff, as needed.
