Otsime oma meeskonda kogukondade võimestamise ja partnerluste juhti, kelle ülesanne on aidata kujundada Eesti Pagulasabi tööd suunas, kus pagulastaustaga inimesed ja kogukonnad tegutsevad aktiivsete eestvedajate ja muutuste loojatena ning partnerorganisatsioonid kannavad suuremat rolli kogukonda toetavate tegevuste elluviimisel. Rolli keskmes on kogukondade võimestamine, strateegiliste partnerlussuhete arendamine ning sihtgrupi kogemuse ja teadmiste sidumine organisatsiooni programmide, otsuste ja huvikaitsega.
Beyond direct humanitarian assistance, ERC is actively positioning itself as a leader in humanitarian digitalization, developing innovative solutions – such as HumX (a humanitarian interoperability data space built on X-Road technology), DigiCap (a deployable roster of digital advisors), and Dig(n)ital Suite (an open-source built beneficiary management system) – to make humanitarian responses more efficient, coordinated, and accountable. Drawing on Estonia's globally recognized digital expertise, ERC is committed to transforming the speed and cost-effectiveness of humanitarian assistance worldwide.
We are looking for a motivated researcher to join our team for a 6-month research engagement (0.5–1.0 FTE, in Tallinn/Tartu office, hybrid or remote). The researcher will lead a study examining the efficiency gains and cost savings generated by resolving key systemic digital challenges in humanitarian operations, contributing both to ERC's evidence base and to the broader humanitarian sector.
This vacancy establishes a roster of expert consultants who can be contracted rapidly through scoped call-off assignments to support agencies, consortia, and coordination arrangements. Roster membership provides eligibility for contracting under DigiCap and does not constitute employment, exclusivity, or a guarantee of assignments. Each assignment is expected to deliver practical outputs that withstand operational pressure, strengthen safeguards, and enable local ownership.
DigiCap roster members will be engaged on time-bound assignments that may include advisory support, operational design, requirements engineering, implementation planning, procurement support, and, where explicitly commissioned, product scoping or prototype-level work governed by appropriate safeguards and sustainability expectations.
Assignments may be delivered as surge support, embedded accompaniment, or structured remote delivery, depending on context, timeline, and risk posture.
