Job description

MIS Executive in Chhattisgarh | Watershed Organisation Trust - WOTR

Watershed Organisation Trust - WOTR

WOTR began in 1993 out of the Indo-German Watershed Development Programme, where it pioneered bringing whole communities together to bring back the land they live on and save the rain that falls on it. Over 32 years the organisation has reached more than 8 million lives and now works across 8 states of India. WOTR treats the rural ecosystem as one connected whole, covering watershed and natural resource management, biodiversity and water, climate resilient farming, better livelihoods, women's empowerment, nutrition, health, drinking water and sanitation. It is recognised globally both as a non-profit that works on the ground and as a think tank. This role sits within WOTR's regional programme team in Chhattisgarh, which runs and reports on projects with villages across the region.

Role

The MIS Executive builds and looks after the information systems that keep WOTR's projects honest and visible.

• Prepare briefing material on project performance and status for the Regional Manager.
• Coordinate and carry out thematic assessments alongside the project management team.
• Track and analyse progress, challenges and lessons learned as the work is delivered.

• Comfort with data quality checks, spotting errors and fixing them at the source.
• Ability to train and guide field team members who collect the data.
• Skill in writing clear reports and briefing notes for donors and senior staff.
• Fluency in Hindi and English, both spoken and written.
