About The Position

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is seeking a Qualitative Enumerator to support the SPEAC project's Strategic Internal Evaluation. This role involves conducting Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), transcribing and translating interviews, and entering qualitative data into templates. The project is an ECHO-funded protection intervention led by DRC with IRC, INTERSOS, and ACF as partners. The evaluation focuses on consortium-level coordination, targeting and prioritization, and the emergency response. The enumerator will be responsible for ensuring qualitative data is captured accurately and ethically.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience conducting qualitative data collection (KIIs and/or FGDs), ideally in a humanitarian or protection context.
• Proven experience in transcription, translation, and qualitative data entry, with strong attention to accuracy and detail.
• Full professional fluency in Arabic and English, including the ability to translate faithfully between the two.
• Solid understanding of research ethics — informed consent, confidentiality, do-no-harm, and protection mainstreaming.
• Willingness to sign and comply with IRC's Code of Conduct and safeguarding/PSEA policies.
• Ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and handle sensitive information discreetly.

Responsibilities

• Participate in a briefing on the evaluation objectives, KII tools, sampling list and data-entry templates.
• Conduct semi-structured KIIs (in Arabic or English) with IRC staff, external stakeholders, and clients (IRC beneficiaries) as assigned.
• Obtain and document informed consent before each interview, record only where consented, and take structured notes.
• Transcribe and (where needed) translate interviews into English, anonymizing personal identifiers.
• Enter the qualitative data into the agreed templates/matrix, organized by evaluation question and respondent type, and carry out basic data cleaning and quality checks.
• Securely hand over all data, recordings and consent records to IRC on completion.
