The firm, Safe Reach Solutions, or SRS, says it is actively looking for "Humanitarian Liaison Officers" who will "serve as vital connectors between our operational teams and the broader humanitarian community," according to one job description.

Another position on offer a week ago but has since closed is for a "Team Deputy/Manager" to support "day-to-day management, planning, and mission execution".

A liaison officer position appears to be analytically focused. It says that hires will "advise on best practices for engaging with affected populations, local authorities, and community-based organizations" while monitoring developments that could impact "operational posture".

The team deputy position is geared towards recruits with a background in operations. One of the requirements is "field experience in the Middle East, especially in conflict-affected or post-crisis settings".

The positions want applicants with at least seven years of experience. They require applicants to be US citizens and say fluency in Arabic is preferred. 

Ironically, SRS is seeking people with UN experience, but the plan to take over aid distribution seeks to supplant the United Nations, which is already capable of delivering aid in Gaza. "These mid- to senior-career professionals will help bridge communication, coordination, and trust with NGOs, international agencies, and UN bodies operating in complex environments."

Demand for the positions appears to be high. According to LinkedIn, more than 100 people applied for the humanitarian liaison officer position within two weeks.

The team deputy position also drew comments from interested users directed to "Ali Ali," SRS's recruiting consultant. "Hi Ali I worked in Gaza last summer with the US army. I was in charge of the humanitarian aid delivery through the trident pier. Please reach out to me at your best convenience to talk more," a LinkedIn user wrote.

The former Biden administration floated a costly pier project to bring aid into the Gaza Strip last year, but it was widely considered a failure.

American private military contractors have already started arriving in Israel, according to photos shared on social media of khaki-clad and bearded men at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv. MEE couldn't independently verify the photos.
