What it’s like to work at CARE?

• CARE is a mission-driven international humanitarian aid and development organization that offers an opportunity to work with people across the world. Not a day will go by that you won’t learn something profound, meet an expert, or write a sentence that can change a life. We are committed to an environment where everyone can succeed.

• CARE Bangladesh is going to implement "The Protocols and Trigger‑based Institutional Systems for Timely Humanitarian & Anticipatory Action (PROTISTHAA)" project funded by DG ECHO, from April 2026 to March 2028, targets high‑risk regions across Bangladesh—specifically the northern flood‑prone districts of Gaibandha, Kurigram, Bogura, Sirajganj, Jamalpur, and Sherpur; the northeastern haor districts of Sunamganj and Sylhet; the coastal cyclone‑exposed belt of Bagerhat, Barguna, Bhola, Patuakhali, Pirojpur, Khulna, and Satkhira; and the *33 Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar. Led by CARE Bangladesh with ACF, ACTED, RIMES, and local partners ESDO, Uttaran, and NSS, the consortium project strengthens a nationwide multi‑hazard anticipatory action system by advancing impact‑based forecasting, improving early warning dissemination, and institutionalizing trigger‑based decision protocols. The project also enhances local planning, supports predictable financing through Disaster Management Funds, and builds community preparedness through training and simulations. By operationalizing the forecast–trigger–finance–action chain, the project seeks to reduce loss of life, protect livelihoods, and improve resilience among disaster‑prone populations across Bangladesh. This project highly needs a Consortium MEAL Manager for effective monitoring, documentation, learning and accountability.

• The Technical Coordinator – Advocacy & Communication is a core role within the PROTISTHAA initiative, responsible for leading the joint advocacy, communication, visibility, and stakeholder‑engagement agenda across 15 disaster‑prone districts and 33 Rohingya camps. The position ensures that all participating entities communicate with a coherent and unified voice, drawing on shared evidence, harmonised messaging, and consistent branding.

• S/he will actively engage with government ministries, technical agencies, sub‑national authorities, humanitarian coordination platforms, and media outlets to elevate anticipatory action and impact‑based forecasting at both national and local levels. The role requires the ability to translate complex technical information into accessible communication products for policymakers, practitioners, and communities.

• The Technical Coordinator plays a key leadership role in ensuring that PROTISTHAA’s evidence, learning, and field insights contribute to the institutionalisation of Early Action Protocols, improvements in early‑warning dissemination, and strengthened multisector coordination within Bangladesh’s disaster‑management system.

• This position will be based at the CARE Bangladesh Dhaka Office (CBDO) and is contingent upon final funding approval.
