- Prepare and present compelling, insight-driven reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders, including the management team, board, donors, and partners. Translate between technical teams and non-technical staff to bridge communication gaps.
- Data Integrity and System Enhancement
- Ensure the highest standards of data quality and integrity across all programs, overseeing data validation processes and the maintenance of a centralized data management system.
- Continuously identify and implement improvements to RME methodologies, tools, and technologies to enhance efficiency and the quality of insights.
- Team Leadership & Capacity Building
