About the mission
About the job
General objective:
Supporting the SMT in defining the HR strategy of the Missions; overseeing all aspects of HR administrative management, including compliance with SI's ISR and country's labor law; ensure good practices in staff management are maintained/reinforced
The main challenges: Lebanon: downsizing of the Mission started (foreseen closure of Bekaa base) and foreseen further downzising in early 2026. Complexity of the Lebanese labor law and administrative environment (social security, income taxation). Staff motivation affected by the foreseen budget/staff cuts.
Yemen: Partial scale-up of Marib base. Complexity of Yemeni labor law and administrative environment. A focus on training/capacity support to further continue the nationalization of certain roles. Structural adjustments around the edges after a somewhat rushed restructuring in late 2024/early 2025.Priorities for the 2/3 first months:
Lebanon: support Mission in downsizing and development of new set up; support Mission in handling complexity of social security new regulations; in liaison with the Mission's lawyer, ensure the revision of key documents.
Yemen: support mission in development of an HR strategy especially on staff capacity; with Finance, keep a close eye on the mission's structure to ensure financial viability and a generally more conservative approach to HR planning, with some adjustments according to big priorities.Security constraints:
Lebanon: in Beirut, minimal security rules for now (possible changes in case of new Israeli escalation)
Yemen: In Aden, strict security rules but a driver made available at the guesthouse and several validated locations made availableYour profile
