Shell’s Upstream International Middle East Region looks after assets in the Middle East and North Africa, with key existing operations in Oman, Abu Dhabi, Egypt, Iran, Oman, Pakistan, Iraq and Syria. We are currently exploring further opportunities in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and are also represented in Kuwait, Tunisia, and Algeria.

The region is characterized by both its wide geographical/cultural spread and the complexity of the business relationships with host Governments and JV partners. With the exception of some of the exploration projects and Iraq Majnoon, none of the Shell’s business in the region is “Shell-operated” in a conventional sense. Within Shell, the region provides one of the best opportunities to achieve growth, and on an unprecedented scale. Business dimensions reflect activities in some 15 countries, with over 30 major fiscal contracts in place, currently delivering some 400 kboe/d upstream production in the mature assets, while incurring a total expenditure of some USD 4 bln on the various growth opportunities (all figures excluding Iraq projects).

The position will have a broad impact across the entire spectrum of Shell businesses within several countries. This cluster of countries have a significant Shell footprint and investment and demands comprehensive and innovative security solutions. This post will be responsible for ensuring that Shell meets its ‘duty of care’ responsibilities to all Shell staff, families and contractors.

Your responsibilities will include:

•Assess the security threats and risks to Shell businesses across ME cluster countries and conduct Security Risk Assessments as required.

•Functionally manage the security skill pool, ensuring that:

•Security is being managed properly and inline with the Group Secruity Standards and is under positive control.

•Appropriate competencies are achieved and that career aspirations are identified and met where possible.

•Support investigations into security incidents (e.g. kidnaps, leaks of confidential information etc)

•Ensure compliance with Shell policies and procedures in order to safeguard all Shell sensitive information, and develop and introduce measures to close identified gaps.

•Develop, nurture and maintain a working network of security contacts from both the private and public sector.

•Oversee security arrangements for the visits of Shell VIPs.

•Participate in HSSE MS Audits as required.

•Engage in the development of security related crisis and business continuity plans and provide specialist security advice when required.

The goal of the Supporting Inclusive Growth (SIG) Program is to support rigorous and policy-oriented research that generates new insights and options for promoting policies that facilitate inclusive growth.

Using the IDRC “grants plus” model, the program supports applied research through a combination of modalities including networks, competitive grants, and other (solicited or unsolicited) requests for grants.

As the Senior Program Specialist, you will collaborate in developing and managing research activities that support broader Program challenges.

The job involves developing the current portfolio of research projects in promoting inclusive growth, including labour market issues, institutional frameworks for investment, competition and entrepreneurial activity, and the role of social protection policies. Over the past few years, original research and research capacity have been supported across the region in the fields of entrepreneurship, small firms, market regulation, competition policy, and analysis of the determinants of low productivity and weak competitiveness. Future programming will support the development of new policies, in entrepreneurship, labor markets, the quality of jobs, and social protection.

Additional Information

This position requires a willingness to travel, mainly in the region and internationally, an average of 60 days per year. The ideal start date would be in February/March 2012.
