Context

Following the rapid political shift in Damascus on 8 December 2024, Syria is undergoing a critical period of transformation. The transition has been marked by escalating tensions with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), renewed regional disputes, and growing concerns over a potential resurgence of other groups. These developments have further intensified displacement across the country and complicated the dynamics of return, placing increased pressure on already vulnerable communities. 

In response to the evolving situation, IOM has re-established its presence in Damascus and is rapidly scaling up emergency operations across the country, while maintaining cross-border assistance in northwest Syria. To meet urgent humanitarian needs, this response aims to assist 1.1 million people with life-saving support, including shelter, winterization, health care, protection services, camp coordination and management, and early recovery assistance.

Under the overall guidance of the Supply Chain Officer and the direct supervision of the Supply Chain Assistant, the successful candidate will provide reliable and safe driving services to IOM, its officials, and visitors. While ensuring highest standards of discretion and integrity, sense of responsibility, excellent knowledge of protocol and security issues.
