JOB CONTEXT:
HI Palestine is currently operating as a stand-alone program under the authority of the Emergency Division, with a dedicated governance framework adapted to the scale and complexity of the crisis. This arrangement, confirmed until the end of 2026, is intended to provide the structural flexibility and operational responsiveness required in the current context, while also anticipating and preparing for a transfer back to Mashreq Programme (regional office). Palestine Coordination is split between Jerusalem and Amman, with a West Bank area office located in Ramallah and a Gaza area office in Zuwayda. In Gaza, HI operates three offices: one in the central area (Zuwayda), one in the north (Gaza City), and one in the south (Khan Younis).
The mission's operational strategy relies on 4 pillars: Health (Rehabilitation and P&O), Armed Violence Reduction, Atlas Logistics, and Education. Cross-cutting components include IHA, MHPSS, Protection Mainstreaming, and DGA.
The total budget for 2026 is expected to range between 8 and 12 million EUR.
YOUR MISSION:
The Grants Management Department for HI Palestine plays a central role in overseeing proposal development and donor reporting across operations in the West Bank and Gaza. Based remotely in Amman—where part of the coordination team is located—the department ensures consistent communication and alignment despite geographic constraints.

As the department evolves, a key priority will be the effective management and mentoring of the Reporting Officer, alongside a stronger emphasis on developing high-quality, competitive proposals that support both existing and potentially new sectors of intervention. In parallel, the department will contribute to reinforcing compliance with grants management processes and continue refining internal systems to improve efficiency, accountability, and overall performance.
