Kopernik is an exciting, cutting-edge organisation that finds what works and what doesn’t to address the problems faced by those living in poverty. Through rapid prototyping and experimentation, Kopernik works directly with last mile communities, and in collaboration with our partners from the development, public and private sectors to reduce poverty.

THE POSITION
LOCATION: UBUD, BALI
The Disaster Response Team is a new team within Kopernik, and we are looking for a highly-motivated, experienced individual to lead this program. Right now we are responding to the increased seismic activity of Mt. Agung which has prompted authorities to raise the volcano’s alert status to awas or level 4 (highest) on September 22, 2017, indicating greater probability of an eruption. Although authorities still cannot say when, or if the mountain will erupt, an Disaster Response period has been declared. The Indonesian National Board for Disaster Response (BNPB) urged residents and tourists to stay away from areas less than 12 km of the crater.
According to the latest data from the Regional Disaster Response Agency (BPBD) Bali, there are more than 140,000 people who have been evacuated from their homes as the volcano’s magma flows have risen closer to the surface, triggering hundreds of tremors. The residents are dispersed across more than 350 evacuation points.
Kopernik is part of a community effort which comprises Kopernik, IDEP, Bumi Sehat, Rio Helmi and Rucina Ballinger and the Green School Parents. The community effort, referred to as Mt. Agung Relief - has been working to identify evacuation points that need the most assistance, assess the needs of the evacuees, and to address the basic needs of the evacuees.
We are now seeking a Program Manager that can coordinate the relief effort as the needs evolve.
REQUIREMENTS:
- University degree in relevant field (humanitarian response, public health, international development or related fields). Master Degree preferred.
- At least 5 years professional experience including direct experience in fast paced emergency environments and program management.
