Organizational Context and Scope Türkiye hosts a large and diverse population of migrants and refugees within a complex and evolving migration and displacement context. Affected populations face a range of protection risks, including barriers to accessing services, exposure to exploitation and abuse, and challenges linked to legal status and socio-economic vulnerability. In response, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) implements a comprehensive portfolio of Protection projects aimed at promoting the safety, dignity, and rights of migrants, refugees, and other vulnerable groups. The programme combines migrant protection and protection in humanitarian settings delivered in close coordination with national authorities and partners. Under the migrant protection portfolio, IOM implements Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR), supporting approximately 30,000 returnees with protection-sensitive return and reintegration assistance, alongside Counter-Trafficking (CT) and Child Protection interventions. These activities provide specialized case management for victims of trafficking and unaccompanied and separated children (UASC), while facilitating access to essential services through established referral pathways, including Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS). Complementing this, IOM delivers nationwide Emergency Case Management (ECM) under its humanitarian protection programming, providing life-saving, individualized assistance to highly vulnerable migrants. This includes direct financial and material support, legal and medical assistance, safe access to services, and support for return preparedness to Syria, with a focus on individuals facing heightened risks and barriers. A cross-cutting focus on Gender-Based Violence (GBV), disability inclusion, MHPSS, and protection mainstreaming is embedded across the portfolio to ensure safe, inclusive, and rights-based programming. The Protection Information Management and Reporting sub-unit serves as a sub-unit within Protection Unit, responsible for supporting programme implementation and ensuring the systematic collection, management, analysis, and dissemination of protection-related data. It plays a central role in supporting evidence-based decision-making, strengthening programme implementation, monitoring, and reporting, and ensuring high-quality internal and external outputs across protection interventions, while coordinating Protection Information Management (PIM) systems and processes across sub-units Under the overall supervision of the Deputy Chief of Mission (DCOM) and the direct supervision of the Senior Protection Coordinator, and in close coordination with the Head of Sub-Office in Istanbul, the Regional Thematic Specialist (RTS) at the Regional Office in Vienna, and relevant Divisions/Units at Headquarters (HQ), the Protection Officer will support the planning, implementation, and monitoring of Protection programming in Türkiye, with a particular focus on programme support, the establishment and strengthening of data and case management systems, protection information management, and reporting.
