GISF’s member-led structure makes us a trusted platform for collaboration, a driver of innovation in security risk management (SRM), and a repository of best practices. We also work closely with policymakers to enhance their understanding of SRM.

We strengthen NGO security practice worldwide by:

  • Maintaining and building from our expertise in humanitarian security risk management
  • Offering trusted platforms for coordination and knowledge sharing
  • Driving innovation, capturing best practice, and improving SRM capabilities.
  • Supporting policy-makers and the humanitarian system to increase their understanding of SRM and maximise access to people in need

Job details

Are you passionate about improving safety and security for NGOs around the world? Join GISF as our new SRM Technical Adviser and help shape the future of NGO security risk management.

We’re looking for someone with solid, hands-on experience in NGO safety and security—someone who knows the field, understands the challenges, and wants to make a difference. You’ll be a confident relationship-builder, comfortable navigating both the NGO and commercial worlds, and keen to turn research into real-world tools.

What you’ll be doing

  • Lead technical development: Create, update, and promote GISF’s technical guides and tools—making sure they’re relevant, practical, and genuinely useful for NGOs of all sizes.
    • Provide expert input into GISF’s research projects, ensuring technical accuracy and real-world applicability.
       
  • Deliver training and workshops: Design and run training sessions for a wide range of participants, from INGO Security Directors to national NGO focal points.
    • Provide ad-hoc technical advice to members and prospective members on developing internal SRM structures and systems.
       
  • Strengthen coordination: Offer bespoke advisory support and mentoring to NGO platforms, including technical assistance for forum leadership and members.
     
  • Be ready to deploy on short-term assignments to help improve NGO security coordination where it’s needed most.
     
  • Facilitate roundtables in response to crises or periods of elevated security risk.
     
  • Strengthen the working relationship between NGOs and the UN via SLT
     
  • Represent GISF externally: Build and maintain strong connections with regional coordination groups, specialist working groups, and other stakeholders.
    • Collaborate with GISF’s policy and engagement teams to translate operational  insights into advocacy positions, donor engagement, and external messaging.
       
  • Stay ahead of the curve: Ensure GISF’s services stay up to date by tapping into your networks and keeping an eye on emerging challenges and innovations in SRM.
    • Identify emerging knowledge gaps, and coordinate with relevant teams or individuals to address them.
       
  • Internal Support: You’ll lead on GISF’s own security management, ensuring the safety and security of GISF staff and activities, including pre-travel risk assessments and appropriate training.
    • Contribute to funding proposals and the design of new projects or initiatives.


What we’re looking for

You’ll need a strong background in NGO security, an instinct for collaboration, and a desire to contribute to a mission-driven organisation. If you’re someone who enjoys turning complex issues into practical solutions—and can do it with clarity, humility, and a sense of humour—we’d love to hear from you.
 

What we offer

  • 25 days of annual leave increasing annually after 2 years, up to a maximum 30 days (plus bank holidays)
  • Office shutdown between Christmas and New Year
  • Employer Pension contributions
  • Unique opportunity to shape NGO risk-management into the future
