Community Liaison Manager, Senegal

Community Liaison Manager, Senegal Fixed Term Contract – 14 Months This role is subject to funding. The total remuneration package for this position is £38,828 per annum / approximately $51,368 USD including salary and all allowances.   About MAG: MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is an international humanitarian organisation based in Manchester, UK, and working over 40 countries. We remove landmines and unexploded ordnance to release safe and productive land for communities, and work to reduce the threat of armed violence by supporting governments to safely manage weapons and ammunition. In 1997, MAG was a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for our work campaigning for the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention.

About the role: As Community Liaison Manager, you will play a vital role in ensuring the voices, needs and priorities of conflict-affected communities are reflected in MAG’s mine action activities. Based in the programme area of operation, you will lead and support Community Liaison teams, strengthen community participation and oversee the delivery of Explosive Ordnance Risk Education through local partners. Working closely with operational teams, you will ensure high-quality information is gathered and used to guide decision-making, improve programme effectiveness and maximise impact. This role offers the chance to combine people management, partner engagement and technical oversight while helping communities reduce the risks posed by explosive ordnance. If you are motivated by building strong relationships, improving programme quality and supporting safer outcomes for communities, this role offers both significant responsibility and meaningful purpose.

About the Senegal programme: MAG has been working in Senegal since 2014, initially supporting the Senegalese Armed Forces with safe destruction of obsolete ammunition, secure storage, and capacity-building. Since 2021, MAG has expanded into Humanitarian Mine Action in Casamance, at the request of the National Mine Action Centre (CNAMS). In Casamance, MAG supports CNAMS through training, strengthening information management systems, and conducting non-technical surveys and risk education to better understand contamination and raise awareness among affected communities. Casamance remains contaminated with mines and explosive remnants of war, limiting access to land and livelihoods. Through the new CLEAR-Casamance project, MAG will reduce these risks, release safe land, and restore access to productive areas. This will support recovery, enable displaced families to return safely, and contribute to lasting peace and stability in the region.
