**_ Context:_**

Migration and displacement in the Americas take place in a context marked by deep historical,
political, economic, and social ties between countries, as well as significant internal and
intra-regional socioeconomic disparities, poverty, slow economic growth, demographic changes,
political instability, insecurity, and violence in some countries. While some patterns are
historical, others are new or have increased in magnitude and complexity in recent years. The
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the attendant socio-economic contraction of many
economies accompanied by a marked rise in xenophobia, inflation spikes, food insecurity as
well as severe and frequent disasters compounded by the detrimental impacts of climate
change.

In response to these complex, fast changing dynamics IOM´s Regional Office (RO) for the

Americas in Panama provides coordinated and sustained support to IOM Country Offices (COs),
Member States, regional consultative processes on migration, regional bodies, UN entities, the
media and other key stakeholders to advance the collection, analysis, and use of data to
address the challenges and maximize the opportunities of migration on the basis of solid
evidence, in line with the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM), the
2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, the UN Secretary-General’s UN Data Strategy, and
IOM’s Migration Data Strategy, among others.

Under the direct supervision of the Deputy Regional Director for Operations and in collaboration
with the Global Data Institute (GDI), the Regional Thematic Specialist (Data and Analysis) will
be responsible and accountable for leading and managing the Regional Data Hub (RDH).
