Your work helps leadership make informed, evidence-based decisions that strengthen programs and drive measurable progress.
Why this role matters:

You will:
- Conduct routine data quality checks and field audits to ensure program data is accurate, consistent, and reliable.
- Manage and clean datasets while supporting the refinement of data collection tools, templates, and SOPs in collaboration with the Technology team.
- Monitor program performance, analyze trends, identify discrepancies, and provide timely insights that support continuous improvement.
- Prepare clear, well-structured reports and visualizations that contribute to organizational learning and program adaptation.
- Train, guide, and support field teams on accurate data collection, indicator tracking, and effective data use.

- Proven ability to create clear data visualizations and dashboards (e.g., using Power BI or Tableau).
- Exceptional attention to detail and a relentless commitment to data accuracy.
