Invitation to bid.

The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) is the world's definitive source of data and analysis on internal displacement. Since our establishment in 1998 as part of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), we have offered a rigorous, independent and trusted service to the international community. Our work informs policy and operational decisions that improve the lives of the millions of people living in internal displacement, or at risk of becoming displaced in the future.

To enhance its operational efficiency and expand its capabilities, IDMC is investing in the modernization and expansion of its internal databases and the system architecture. The goal is to strengthen and scale existing systems while ensuring a secure and integrated framework that supports IDMC’s growing range of data products. This includes optimizing current systems and applications – such as databases and front-end applications – while developing new functionalities to better serve both internal and external stakeholders.

The Software Project Management consultant will be responsible for overseeing the planning, development, and integration of IDMC's internal information management systems and data products, ensuring alignment with IDMC's strategic goals and technical requirements. This includes managing multiple vendors responsible for different components of the development and operations of IDMC’s systems, while ensuring proper prioritization, documentation and progress tracking. The role ensures all work meets quality standards, stays within timeline and budgets, and fosters seamless collaboration across vendors, teams and systems.
