About Organisation:

CLEAR Global exists to help people get vital information, and be heard, whatever language they speak. We believe that everyone has the right to give and receive information in a language and format they understand. We work with nonprofit partners and a global community of language professionals to build local language translation capacity, and raise awareness of language barriers. Our network of over 100,000 community members translate millions of words of life-saving and life-changing information a year.

Job Summary: The Field Project Officer will be our primary presence on the ground – coordinating with local partners, guiding communities through onboarding, supporting a network of language ambassadors, and feeding real field insights back to the central team. This is both a coordination role and a learning role: what you observe and report will directly shape how the Tarjimly product evolves.

Key Duties and Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary point of contact with local humanitarian and community partners in Uganda
• Build and maintain relationships with NGOs, UN agencies, CBOs and other stakeholders;
• Represent CLEAR Global / Tarjimly at meetings, workshops and field visits
• Identify, onboard, schedule and provide ongoing support to a network of language ambassadors in the field
• Lead onboarding sessions for new Tarjimly users; support communities in integrating the platform into their day-to-day workflows
• Gather structured user feedback and relay it to the central team; contribute to M&E by tracking key data, writing field notes and progress reports;
• Handle day-to-day admin tasks (logistics, scheduling, documentation);
• Flag issues early and propose practical solutions
• Please note that responsibilities are indicative and will evolve as the pilot develops.

Qualifications, Skills and Experience:

• The Field Project Officer we’re looking for is a grounded, community-oriented professional who understands what language barriers mean in humanitarian contexts – and why removing them matters.
• Someone equally comfortable facilitating a community onboarding session and writing a progress report. You are proactive, solutions-focused, and genuinely excited to be part of something new.
• Requirements
• 2–4 years of experience in a project officer, field coordinator, or community engagement role
• Background in interpretation, translation, or language services – you understand what it means to work across languages in humanitarian settings
• Hands-on experience working with local partners (NGOs, UN agencies, CBOs) in Uganda and (an asset): the wider East Africa region
• Familiarity with monitoring, evaluation, and field reporting
• Strong communication skills in English – able to engage community members and institutional partners with equal confidence
• Digital fluency and the ability to guide non-technical users through mobile apps and platforms
• Fluency in Luganda and/or Swahili is a strong asset
• Based in Uganda (Kampala preferred) with willingness to travel in-country; connected to Uganda’s humanitarian and social impact ecosystem
• Job requirements
• The successful candidate will need to have access to a stable internet connection and a computer to be able to carry out the role.
