Job Title: Lead – Data & Insights (Technical Research & Analytics)

Job Description:

Responsibilities

• The Mission: You own the data journey from "Source" to "Story." Your job is twofold: build the technical infrastructure that captures the data (Input) and design the visual reports that explain it to the client (Output).
• You will be the architect behind our new subscription product ("Flash Pulse") and the analytical lead for our custom consulting work ("Data on Demand").
• Build the "Input" Engine (Technical Architecture).
• Scripting & Tools: You are the master of our data collection tools.
• You will script complex surveys using ODK-based platforms (SurveyCTO, Kobo), ensuring logic, constraints, and multi-language support are flawless.
• Automation: Build pipelines to move data from the field app to our servers without manual errors.
• Drive the "Output" (Analysis & Insights).
• Flash Pulse (Trend Analysis): Track monthly economic indicators from our panel. Identify the "headline" trends (e.g., "Rural consumption is down 5% this month") and create standardized updates.
• Data on Demand (Deep Dive): For custom projects, clean and analyze complex datasets to answer specific policy questions for clients like the World Bank or Foundations.
• Visual Storytelling
• You don\'t just dump data into a spreadsheet. You design professional, client-ready dashboards and slide decks.
• Convert raw numbers into clear, compelling visual narratives that a CEO or Policymaker can understand instantly.

Qualifications

• Years of Experience: 3+ years in Technical Research, Data Analysis, or Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E).
• Technical Stack (The Input): Proficiency in ODK / Survey CTO / Comms Care is non-negotiable. You must know how to code a survey.
• Analytical Stack (The Output): Advanced Excel is a must. Experience with visualization tools like Power BI, Tableau, or Google Data Studio is highly preferred.
• The "Full Stack" Mindset: You are comfortable writing code/scripts in the morning and designing a beautiful presentation in the afternoon.

Benefits / This role is for you if...

• You are tired of just "cleaning data" and want to own the entire product lifecycle.
• You have a creative side—you care about how data looks, not just what it says.
• You want to build a scalable data engine rather than just working on one-off projects.
