Organizational Context and Scope

Within the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Thailand, the Labour Mobility and Social Inclusion (LMI) Unit leads the implementation the Migration, Business and Human Rights (MBHR) Programme, which focuses on advancing responsible business practices, ethical recruitment, and the protection of migrant workers across global supply chains in line with the “Protect, Respect and Remedy” framework of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. As part of this programme, IOM Thailand is leading a data-driven initiative aimed at strengthening human rights due diligence (HRDD) and improving how risks related to forced labour and migrant worker vulnerability are identified, understood, and addressed.

• building partnerships and engaging stakeholders across sectors;
• identifying data gaps, needs, and practical use cases;
• supporting the development of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and future platform design;
• aligning stakeholder inputs with technical work on methodology and data systems.

Under the overall supervision of the Head of LMI, and the direct supervision of Programme Officer, the Senior Project Associate – Labour Mobility and Social Inclusion (LMI) will support the coordination, implementation, and delivery of project activities, ensuring effective integration across workstreams and contributing to stakeholder engagement, knowledge generation, and project operations.
