About You:

As the Project Officer, you will have professional experience in data collection, analysis and reporting. You will be confident in data handling and use of statistics programs as well as a robust understanding of applied research ethics and the One Health approach.

You will be based in Vietnam and have a broad understanding of the Vietnamese social, economic and political landscape in relation to wildlife farming and consumption. You will understand and embrace the challenges and opportunities involved in an emerging international non-profit working in Asia.

As this position requires a close working relationship with our UK team and occasional meetings with our UK partners, verbal and written English language skills are an essential requirement. With our CEO, you will deliver program updates to our partners, trustees, supporters, and funders and will be confident to identify opportunities for improving program monitoring strategies.

You will be comfortable to travel and work independently and as part of a diverse and remote team, and will be willing to accommodate and facilitate program meetings across Vietnam-UK time-zones.

As an effective Project Officer you will have a keen eye for detail and will ensure all programs are effectively monitored in a timely and accurate manner. You will be highly organised and have competencies in Google and Microsoft programs.
