What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own grant processes end-to-end—partner engagement, compliance, and donor reporting—while strengthening M&E and localization-focused partnerships in a UN/INGO environment committed to learning and accountability.

I’m a multilingual international development and humanitarian specialist with 6+ years of experience supporting grant management, partner engagement, and compliance across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. In my current work as a Senior Project Assistant (Grant & Program Support) with IOM–UN Migration, I serve as a focal point for grantee partners, ensuring adherence to donor and organizational requirements while monitoring grant implementation and reviewing deliverables.

I lead donor reporting and M&E tracking, identify shortfalls, and support mid-course corrections. I maintain accurate grant documentation and tracking systems (Excel, SharePoint, PRISM) and coordinate across UN agencies, NGOs, and field actors to align response efforts with localization frameworks—while also strengthening proposal review inputs and knowledge management practices.
