Job description

We are currently recruiting a Data Analytics & ERP Consultant to work with our Awards Management Unit. This is a 3-month, remote independent consultant contract, where candidates are ideally able to work during working hours in EST, EEST and/or AST time zones. At Relief International , we are committed to building a representative, inclusive and authentic workplace. We strongly encourage applications from candidates from minoritized backgrounds and those who bring lived experience of the contexts in which we work.

Statement of Work Consultancy Title: Data Analytics & ERP Consultant. Location where the Services are to be performed: Remote. Contracting Manager: Global Awards Director, with technical reporting to the Global Awards and Donor-Compliance Coordinator, and Global Partnerships Advisor (joint technical oversight). Timings: 34 days worked across 3 months. Dates: September 15, 2026 – December 15, 2026. Pre Hire Checks Requirements: Standard pre contracting checks.

About Relief International. Relief International is an international non-profit organization that partners with communities impacted by conflict, climate change and disaster to save lives, build greater resilience and promote long‑term health and wellbeing. We work in countries across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, providing Health and Nutrition, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), Education and Livelihoods programming that creates the foundation for community resilience.

Scope and Nature of Services: Relief International’s Awards Management Unit (AMU) is responsible for award and partnership management across the full grant lifecycle, from pre‑award review, contracting, modifications, and compliance reporting, to close‑out. This includes direct oversight of the partner and sub‑award lifecycle across country offices: partner due diligence, SGA and drafting, partner performance, alongside prime award compliance and donor reporting obligations. AMU is completing a 2025 update to the NetSuite Partnerships Module (originally built in 2023), which will become the system of record for both award and partner data. Ahead of full NetSuite roll‑out, AMU relies on country‑office award and partner matrices maintained outside the system; we need these data to be visualized, to enable AMU’s to report in real time on award/sub‑award volumes, ICR, partner status, due diligence (DD) compliance, and cost‑contribution tracking. AMU requires a consultant to professionalize this reporting in the interim and to ensure continuity into NetSuite once the transition is complete.

Objective

To strengthen AMU’s data management and reporting capability by (a) consolidating and visualizing current country‑office award data into a live Power BI dashboard, and (b) preparing data structures, logic, and reporting continuity for the NetSuite Partnerships Module transition, including bridge solutions for the interim period.

Information, services or resources to be provided by the consultant

• Data Consolidation & Management
• Review existing country‑office award matrices and identify inconsistencies, duplication, and gaps against AMU’s reporting needs.
• Lead the design and maintain a consolidated master dataset (awards, sub‑awards, partners) with a clear data version control.
• Establish a standard data submission template and validation/QA process for country offices.
• Lead the design database for AMU to launch, collect COs KPIs and how to manage and visualize these data.
• Reporting & Power BI Dashboard
• Build and maintain a live Power BI dashboard connected to the consolidated dataset (and later to NetSuite), refreshed on an agreed cadence.
• Ensure the dashboard is structured for role‑based access (AMU, Country Directors, senior management).
• NetSuite Transition Support
• Interim/bridge solution: provide a temporary data and reporting mechanism that covers AMU’s needs while NetSuite is not yet fully live.
• NetSuite alignment: map dashboard fields and logic to the Award and partnerships Module’s fields, current requirements, and workflows so reporting migrates cleanly once NetSuite goes live.
• Post‑transition continuity: advise on and help configure NetSuite. Analytics Connect / API connectivity so Power BI can pull live from NetSuite, and document the reporting logic for AMU and the dev team.
