You will conduct routine audits and data analysis to ensure a high-quality program. You will also play an important role in the evolution of our data pipeline. As the person who sees our processes more often than anyone else, you will be in the best position to identify what is inefficient or prone to error and to propose improvements. This is an ideal role for someone enthusiastic about technology, with a few years of M&E experience, who is excellent at careful, detailed data work and wants to use their skills to improve children’s health.
