The Program Officer will lead the benchmarking work that underpins the data standards pilot and will support the design and delivery of all three pilots – governance, data standards, and interoperability -helping translate research and sector mapping into practical input for how each is built. This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role spanning three of the TWG’s four workstreams, for someone who wants to help a sector-wide coalition move from agreement in principle to evidence in practice.

Responsibilities

Benchmarking (Result 2)

• Lead benchmarking with the 3 TWG member organizations assessing their data systems against the TWG’s agreed minimum viable data standards.
• Consolidate benchmarking results into a clear, decision-ready evidence base that directly informs the Result 2 data standards pilot.

Pilot design, delivery & documentation (Results 1–3)

• Support the design and launch of three pilots: a governance pilot (testing the endorsed governance framework, including rotating co-chair and decision procedures), a data standards pilot (testing the agreed taxonomy across benchmarked organizations), and an interoperability pilot (testing data-sharing and anonymization protocols across organizations at varying levels of digital maturity).
• Document each pilot as it unfolds, capturing lessons learned to support real-time, adaptive management.
• Author the pilot completion reports, prepared in a format agreed in advance with DG ECHO.
• Support identification of pilot opportunities under Result 3, working directly with participating organizations.

Research translation (Result 4)

• Translate findings from the Result 4 mapping report into concrete design inputs for the Results 1–3 pilots.

Coordination & reporting

• Participate in TWG meetings and relevant sub-group sessions.
• Provide regular progress updates to TWG co-leads.
• Help prepare materials for co-leads meetings and, where relevant, the HLGSC Coordination Board.
