EUMETSAT’s role is to establish and operate meteorological satellites to monitor the weather and climate from space - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This information is supplied to the National Meteorological Services of the organisation's Member and Cooperating States in Europe, as well as other users worldwide.
EUMETSAT also operates several Copernicus missions on behalf of the European Union and provide data services to the Copernicus marine and atmospheric services and their users.
As an intergovernmental European Organisation, EUMETSAT can recruit nationals only from the 30 Member States (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom).
Within the User Support and Climate Services Division (USC), the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Expert will manage the process to collect, track, and analyse data to assess the value, use and impact of the different EUMETSAT data and services to users, as well as translate these assessments into actionable insights and strategies to increase the impact of these data and services. For user engagement EUMETSAT is using a ‘theory of change’ methodology to design its interventions.
What you’ll be doing
Consult the framework with internal stakeholders, e.g. business areas engaged in data and product generation, data access and user support services, the Management Board and relevant external governing groups such as the STG Operations Working Group.
Manage the process for M&E across the above mentioned EUMETSAT’s business areas:
- Contribute to the definition and management of processes and mechanisms for storing and retrieving relevant monitoring information
- Support intervention design with M&E expertise, and evaluate the implementation to understand their effectiveness in delivering impact and bringing evidence-based insights
- Put in place mechanisms to aid reporting on user engagement and product application using information available inside EUMETSAT
- Define and manage mechanisms to report and communicate internally on actionable insights arising from the M&E framework
- Support the generation of external facing reports, like the Copernicus User Uptake report, which document monitoring outputs and stories of change.
What you’ll be doing
- Develop, implement, and maintain a framework for M&E at EUMETSAT which addresses:
Usage of satellite data and software in applications across the EUMETSAT product portfolio, including its Satellite Application Facilities
- Effectiveness and fitness for purpose of the various user engagement interventions, including training, communities of practice and capacity building activities
- Fitness for purpose of user information services, such as the User Portal, and data access services, such as Data Store and EUMETCast.
