Job description

Overview

At Earthworm Foundation, we work with our members and partners to make value chains an engine of prosperity for communities and ecosystems, with most of our staff operating directly on the ground where the issues are. We see a world where forests are a boundless source of materials and a home for biodiversity; communities see their rights respected and have opportunities to develop; workers are seen as productive partners; and agriculture becomes the instrument to feed a hungry planet and keep our climate stable.

Your Role

As Sustainability Data Solutions Lead, you will be primarily responsible for:

• Understanding the data needs of various internal teams.
• Translating the needs into technical requirements.
• Creating, implementing, reviewing and improving internal data processes, including data structure, handling and quality controls.
• Creating data solutions for new commodities, products, or services (internal and external).
• Designing and implementing dashboards to better visualize the data and guide action.
• Exploring new data-driven solutions to challenges faced in data collection and management.
• Supporting various teams with analysis of data to enable data-driven decisions.
• Leading different data projects – examples of this are: database implementation, leading the continuous improvement of the Starling platform, review of global work processes.
• Managing relationships with external partners we work with to deliver data solutions – examples of this are: database implementation, Starling, etc.

Your Profile / Qualifications

You have a strong track record leading end-to-end data initiatives, as well as demonstrable advanced Excel skills (including VBA) and advanced Tableau skills. Experience with Python, SQL or other programming languages would be a great plus to be successful in the role, as would experience with database management, automation tools and/or survey tools.

With your passion for agriculture, social science, rural development, forestry and conservation, you aim to leverage your knowledge, experience and appetite for technology to generate positive impact in these areas and address the global challenges of our time.

Being an intellectual pioneer who is meticulous, detail-focused and with a continuous improvement mindset, you like when things are done well. You have an analytical background and thrive on developing reliable tools to facilitate data management, ultimately enabling your colleagues to work more efficiently. A self-starting and independent person with genuine curiosity and willingness to learn from others, you enjoy working with team members across countries and functions, but you also take initiative whenever the opportunity arises.

With excellent interpersonal skills, outstanding communication and a helpful, supportive attitude, you naturally animate sessions with a variety of stakeholders to work on diverse and sometimes complex projects. At ease in a dynamic environment, you are not afraid to speak up and ask peers and superiors questions in order to ensure the broader team produces high quality work. Thanks to your intensely creative, “out-of-the-box” thinking, you are able to design and build innovative data-driven solutions, user-friendly templates, tools and dashboards, as well as high value presentations, which makes you a great asset to the team.
